In this lot is a unique item. This is a Telephone Stowage brass box taken from a Coast Guard Cutter. The box measures 9 3/4" X 6 1/2 X 10 1/2" (not including the mounting brackets). This box is reported to come from a USCG cutter that was launched July 31st 1965. Brass items were standard but over time due to the maintenance needed the box was painted white to match the ship. In 1977 this box was replaced with an aluminum one and it was placed in a scrap room. In 1978 it was found and the person decided to restore it, rather than throw it out. The box has its original plates with serial numbers intact as well as 5 Mounting Bolts and nuts. With this treasure is also a letter written telling its story and a photo of the ship. This box is in excellent restored condition. All proceeds from this items will go to the Montana Counsel of the Boy Scouts of America.

his discretion without limitations. Example No. 2: A bidder number 1 left an absentee bid of $1,000 on
a lot. The auction event is in processes and the bidder number 1 is the highest accepted bid at $100
and the Auctioneer according to his sole discretion sets the bidding increments at $100 and then
continues to call bids. The bidder number 1 is then accepted as the highest bidder at $900 and the
Auctioneer ask for $1,000 and accept the bid from another bidder, bidder number 2, at $1,000. The
Auctioneer then calls for any more bids at $1,100 and then sells the item to the bidder number 2.
Since the original bidder, bidder number 1, was accepted at $900 and the Auctioneer has chosen $100
increments the next accepted bid must be $1,000 and bidder number 1 cannot bid again as the
Auctioneer already has accepted his bid at $900. When the Auctioneer calls for $1,100 bidder number
1 no longer will show the Auction Co. representative any available bids and the item will be sold to
bidder number 2). Auction Co. is not liable for any damages or responsible for selling the item to
another bidder at your maximum bid amount without limitation.
