Absentee Bid Quick Facts
aka "left-bids" or "pre-bids"
- Absentee bids let you place your maximum bid on an item before the live auction begins. During the live show, we’ll continue bidding on your behalf up to your max bid — just like leaving a bid with a traditional auctioneer.
- When you place an absentee bid, the system sets the current bid conservatively — just enough to keep you in the lead without revealing your full amount.
- The current bid shown on each lot reflects all confirmed absentee bids and updates automatically as new bids come in.
- When the live auction starts, bidding will begin at the current bid. The auctioneer will continue bidding on behalf of absentee bidders up to their max bids.
- Because absentee bids can arrive seconds apart, the current bid you see may not always include bids still being processed. Refresh the page for the most up-to-date information.

An antique brass school hand bell with a flared, stepped bell body featuring a series of horizontal molded bands around the shoulder and skirt. The turned wood handle is currently detached from the bell, separating at the brass ferrule collar where the two components meet. The end of the handle is stamped with a numeral, either "6" or "9" depending on orientation.
The bell body shows overall tarnish, surface scratches, and minor denting. The wood handle displays wear and darkening consistent with use and age. The handle must be reattached before the bell is functional; the lot is offered in its current separated state.
Dimensions: 4" L x 4" W x 7-1/4" H
