Listing Terms and Conditions
If you are new to our Auctions we want to welcome you! EDS has been in business since 2013 and has conducted 100's of Auctions. Our owner, Brian Sample, has been in the Antiques, Collectibles & Auction business since the 1980's in some format or another. Licensed as an Auctioneer since 1998 and a Realtor since 2003, Brian has personally overseen 100's of live and online auctions. Our Auctions are always fresh Estate & Downsizing merchandise from individuals and businesses, never wholesale or loaded in any format. We also buy estates and downsizing leftovers. For new bidders with no transactional history with us, EDS wants to clarify how important your business and bids are. Having said that, we ask that you understand if our staff calls and ask for information or details about you or the payment transaction, this is simply a precaution to protect us from fraud. Chargebacks to credit cards cost us every season. Sometimes these charges are legitimate because of a mistake or error on our end or yours. Unfortunately, more often than not, these chargebacks are the result of a stolen card or a fraudulent buyer. We ask that you please understand our position. We simply cannot ship items to out of state or country bidders without assurance that the payment is secure and in our account. In some cases, especially where the items purchased are high value lots, we may ask for a USPS Money Order, Cashiers Check or a wire transfer payment. We will look at your bidding history with us and your history on Hi-Bid, and make these decisions based on that information. We hope this will not be a deterrent to honest and serious buyers and we ask that you call us at 812-822-2508 if you have ANY questions or concerns before bidding.

Listing Information
An Online Only Auction ending Wednesday, Feb 5th at 1:30 p.m. featuring a fine offering of premium quality antiquarian books in German, photographs, memoriabilia and items from the Estate of Carolyn Lockwood Busch, husband Hans Busch, (b.1914 Aachen, GE, d.1996 Bloomington, IN) son of Dr.Fritz Busch, (b.1890 Siegen, GE, d.1951 London GB). Carolyn Lockwood Busch had a career in Opera with a tenure at the Santa Fe Opera. She was the wife of Hans Peter Busch, late Artistic Director of Opera at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN. Hans' father, Dr. Fritz Busch, was one of the most famous and influential opera and symphony conductors in the first half of the 20th century as Chief Conductor of the Stuttgart Opera and General Music Director of the Dresden State Opera 1922-1933. The family was intimate friends with contemporary conductors and composers including Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinski, and Arturo Toscanini as well as noted performers in Opera in the 20th century. Adolf Busch, brother, was a famous violinist of that era. Fritz left Nazi Germany in open opposition to the regime to conduct in Argentina, England and the U.S. In 1934 he became a founder and director of the Glyndebourne Mozart Festivals, East Sussex, England. His production of Verdi's "Otello" stage at the old Metropolitan Opera House, New York City, was the first live telecast of an entire opera in 1948. Many recordings were made with Dr. Busch as conductor. Hans Busch, son of Dr. F. Busch, studied opera production after leaving Germany with his family in 1933. He became a U.S. citizen in 1942, serving in army intelligence in Italy and then as U.S. Staff Sergeant with the Allied Military Government assisting in the reconstruction of important cultural edifices such as La Scala in Milan. After the war he was affiliated with the Indiana University Opera as stage director for 32 years, noted for premiering Kurt Weill's "Down In The Valley" 1948 and directing the 1964 New York World's Fair production of Turandot with a 200-member cast from I.U. The Fritz Busch collection of scores and recordings resides at Indiana University Music Library. EDS & Brian Sample have conducted 100's of Live & Online Auctions since 1995.

If you are new to our Auctions we want to welcome you! EDS has been in business since 2013 and has conducted 100's of Auctions. Our owner, Brian Sample, has been in the Antiques, Collectibles & Auction business since the 1980's in some format or another. Licensed as an Auctioneer since 1998 and a Realtor since 2003, Brian has personally overseen 100's of live and online auctions. Our Auctions are always fresh Estate & Downsizing merchandise from individuals and businesses, never wholesale or loaded in any format. We also buy estates and downsizing leftovers. For new bidders with no transactional history with us, EDS wants to clarify how important your business and bids are. Having said that, we ask that you understand if our staff calls and ask for information or details about you or the payment transaction, this is simply a precaution to protect us from fraud. Chargebacks to credit cards cost us every season. Sometimes these charges are legitimate because of a mistake or error on our end or yours. Unfortunately, more often than not, these chargebacks are the result of a stolen card or a fraudulent buyer. We ask that you please understand our position. We simply cannot ship items to out of state or country bidders without assurance that the payment is secure and in our account.

Listing Details
An Online Only Auction ending Wednesday, Feb 5th at 1:30 p.m. featuring a fine offering of premium quality antiquarian books in German, photographs, memoriabilia and items from the Estate of Carolyn Lockwood Busch, husband Hans Busch, (b.1914 Aachen, GE, d.1996 Bloomington, IN) son of Dr.Fritz Busch, (b.1890 Siegen, GE, d.1951 London GB). Carolyn Lockwood Busch had a career in Opera with a tenure at the Santa Fe Opera. She was the wife of Hans Peter Busch, late Artistic Director of Opera at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN. Hans' father, Dr. Fritz Busch, was one of the most famous and influential opera and symphony conductors in the first half of the 20th century as Chief Conductor of the Stuttgart Opera and General Music Director of the Dresden State Opera 1922-1933. The family was intimate friends with contemporary conductors and composers including Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinski, and Arturo Toscanini as well as noted performers in Opera in the 20th century. Adolf Busch, brother, was a famous violinist of that era. Fritz left Nazi Germany in open opposition to the regime to conduct in Argentina, England and the U.S. In 1934 he became a founder and director of the Glyndebourne Mozart Festivals, East Sussex, England. His production of Verdi's "Otello" stage at the old Metropolitan Opera House, New York City, was the first live telecast of an entire opera in 1948. Many recordings were made with Dr. Busch as conductor. Hans Busch, son of Dr. F. Busch, studied opera production after leaving Germany with his family in 1933. He became a U.S. citizen in 1942, serving in army intelligence in Italy and then as U.S. Staff Sergeant with the Allied Military Government assisting in the reconstruction of important cultural edifices such as La Scala in Milan. After the war he was affiliated with the Indiana University Opera as stage director for 32 years, noted for premiering Kurt Weill's "Down In The Valley" 1948 and directing the 1964 New York World's Fair production of Turandot with a 200-member cast from I.U. The Fritz Busch collection of scores and recordings resides at Indiana University Music Library. EDS & Brian Sample have conducted 100's of Live & Online Auctions since 1995.

An Online Only Auction ending Wednesday, Feb 5th at 1:30 p.m. featuring a fine offering of premium quality antiquarian books in German, photographs, memoriabilia and items from the Estate of Carolyn Lockwood Busch, husband Hans Busch, (b.1914 Aachen, GE, d.1996 Bloomington, IN) son of Dr.Fritz Busch, (b.1890 Siegen, GE, d.1951 London GB). Carolyn Lockwood Busch had a career in Opera with a tenure at the Santa Fe Opera. She was the wife of Hans Peter Busch, late Artistic Director of Opera at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN. Hans' father, Dr. Fritz Busch, was one of the most famous and influential opera and symphony conductors in the first half of the 20th century as Chief Conductor of the Stuttgart Opera and General Music Director of the Dresden State Opera 1922-1933. The family was intimate friends with contemporary conductors and composers including Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinski, and Arturo Toscanini as well as noted performers in Opera in the 20th century. Adolf Busch, brother, was a famous violinist of that era. Fritz left Nazi Germany in open opposition to the regime to conduct in Argentina, England and the U.S. In 1934 he became a founder and director of the Glyndebourne Mozart Festivals, East Sussex, England. His production of Verdi's "Otello" stage at the old Metropolitan Opera House, New York City, was the first live telecast of an entire opera in 1948. Many recordings were made with Dr. Busch as conductor. Hans Busch, son of Dr. F. Busch, studied opera production after leaving Germany with his family in 1933. He became a U.S. citizen in 1942, serving in army intelligence in Italy and then as U.S. Staff Sergeant with the Allied Military Government assisting in the reconstruction of important cultural edifices such as La Scala in Milan. After the war he was affiliated with the Indiana University Opera as stage director for 32 years, noted for premiering Kurt Weill's "Down In The Valley" 1948 and directing the 1964 New York World's Fair production of Turandot with a 200-member cast from I.U. The Fritz Busch collection of scores and recordings resides at Indiana University Music Library. EDS & Brian Sample have conducted 100's of Live & Online Auctions since 1995.
