In 1982, Leslie Hindman founded Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago, Illinois, and within a few years it grew to be the largest auction house in the Midwest, and one of largest in the country. As a result of the firm's outstanding reputation, it was acquired by Sotheby's in 1997. When the opportunity presented itself, Leslie reopened Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in 2003 and continued her growth trajectory.
Also part of the Hindman family of auction houses, Cowan's Auctions was opened in 1995 by Wes Cowan in Cincinnati, Ohio. Cowan's quickly earned a reputation for integrity, customer service and great results. In 2018, these two firms became the foundation for Hindman, a rapidly growing organization with the ambition to be the nation's most client-centric auction house.

American Historical Ephemera & PhotographyDuring Timed auctions, a countdown clock is displayed on the main auction page and on the lot level. These auctions have a “rolling close,” with each lot closing in a staggered manner after the previous lot.

Individual lots will have their own countdown clocks, indicating the specific closing time for that lot. If a bid is placed within one minute of the closing time of a lot, five additional minutes will be added to the designated closing time for that lot.

This Lily of the Valley is missing something: That wonderful scent!
This brooch is exactly as described. While the 'financial premium add-ons' are higher than other vendors, the quality of the item, and HIGH QUALITY of their caring staff (Jay), are worth the higher premiums. Questions were answered fully and quickly. They (Jay) really cares. Definitely following this auction house.
