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 022 - Pair of Vintage Papier Mache / Paper Pulp Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Nut Cups, One Manufactured by Master Craft (Kopper's), Kearny, New Jersey
Two vintage papier mache / paper pulp Jack-O-Lantern nut cups, each molded in a round pumpkin form and painted orange with smiling faces. One has green-painted eyes, nose, and mouth, while the other has blue eyes with white highlights, a red nose, and a red mouth with white teeth. The example with blue and red features retains its original round cardboard base printed "Candle Novelty by Master Craft, A Kopper's Product, Made in Kearny, New Jersey, U.S.A." Both retain remnants of candle wax in the interior openings. Paint wear, scuffing, and soiling are present on both examples, with the green-featured example showing more pronounced wear and areas of exposed base material along the lower edge.
