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.

A grouping of five antique Knights Templar medals and badges.
The first is a shield-shaped badge with white and red enamel, marked "Joseph Warren Commandery" above a central cross pattee with crossed swords. The motto "In Hoc Signo Vinces" surrounds the cross, with "Denver 1913" at center. "Boston Mass." is lettered at the bottom, and "K" and "T" pennant devices flank the shield. A red cross finial tops the badge. The enamel is intact with minor wear.
The second is a Grand Commandery of Maine medal with a curved top bar reading "Boston Pilgrimage 1895." The Maine state coat of arms with "Dirigo" motto serves as a connector, suspending a round medallion reading "Grand Commandery of Maine, Instituted 1852." The medallion face depicts a figure beneath a radiant cross with the motto "In Hoc Signo Vinces" and features a black enamel border with a small red enamel cross. The medal shows overall patina.
The third is an oak leaf-form badge with two hanging acorns on chains, bearing a central enameled Knights Templar device marked "Siloam Commandery No. 54." The device features a knight's helmet, red cross, crown, and sword on a black and white enamel field. The enamel shows minor wear and chipping.
The fourth is a multi-part 28th Triennial Conclave medal with a top bar reading "Louisville" and "1901." A Kentucky state seal connector with blue enamel cross suspends the lower section, which features a columned temple design reading "Triennial Conclave" and "Grand Encampment of the U.S." The central cross device is marked "Grand Commandery of Kentucky" with "K" and "T" shield devices. The medal features red, blue, black, and white enamel details and shows overall patina.
The fifth is a Coeur de Lion Commandery medal with a top bar reading "Coeur de Lion" beneath a crown, flanked by red enamel cross pattee devices. The suspended oval pendant depicts the Bunker Hill Monument and reads "Commandery," "Charlestown Mass," and "Triennial Conclave 1895," with red enamel "K" and "T" cross devices. The medal shows overall patina and wear.
