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.

Lot 062 - Pair of Modern Fantasy Reproduction Halloween Black Cat Hand-Painted Candy Pails with Wire Bail Handles, 3-1/4" H each
Pair of modern reproduction Halloween black cat candy pails in a tapered bucket form. Each pail is constructed of pulp with a wire bail handle. The front of each is hand-painted with a different black cat face featuring yellow and orange eyes with white highlights, a toothy grinning mouth with red lips, and white whiskers. One cat has angular pointed features with a red nose and arched brow lines, while the other has a more rounded face with a yellow nose, painted ears, and prominent whiskers. The interiors are unfinished pulp. Each has a small hole in the center of the base.
Both pails show surface wear, soiling, and minor paint loss.
