I will try to be short and concise in my explanation of this matter. The Consignment Gallery is a re-sale gallery cO!1sisting of antiques and designer furniture and accessories. Consignors bring items to us which they wish to sell, WI' mutuallv a~ree upon a selling price and a consignment contract is signed by both parties agreeing to sell items for said prices. Items are then sold, and consignors receive 60% of the selling price. It is also important to note that at any time consignors are able to reclaim their items with no fee involved. As you shall see in the enclosed documents, Mrs Calkins brought us a set of Limoge porcelain Charger Plates. ( a charger goes under a dinner plate as a decorative service piece) These plates were very similar to others we have had and sold in the Gallery. After Mrs Calkins showed us the papers she had tyred the day before stating the sale prices she wished to place on tl1e Items, !vIrs Catkins and' mutually decided that the set should be sold for $ 150,00 thus making her net from the sale $ 90.00, I have enclosed a copy ot the papers Mrs, Calkins brought with her stating "hat she wanted the selling prices of ha items to be. I also noted that Mrs Calkin> omitted a copy of this l:l!...l':~I'l~!\!:l11<\ ,nd :\\, L'\','1;1 ~ >-- <. hI ('It1'~'f.~111'11d I PLAlNTIFPS EXHIBIT 10 ..' '.. ,. .',:' >. ','j' -. ' . . , . .' .' : ' ,', ' . ," '''''''. '. statement in her report to your department. "r{ As you can see, her statement, in her handwriting, instructs The Gallery to sell her set of Chargers for $150.00, which we though was fair and reasonable. In no area does either party express that the plates should be sold for $ 150.00 per piec~, or $ 900.00 for the set. . . - . I am also deeply offended that Mrs Calkins feels the need to create falsehoods with regards to her confused recollection of this situation. All employees of The Consignment Gallery, myself included, were polite and very patient \\lith Mrs. Calkins. No one swore or was in a rage. ,After she started with tJte~ accusations, Mrs Calkins did return to the Gallery to collect the rest of her items she had wished to consign, and I told her that it was probably. a,good idea if we did not do business together in the future. I have also enclosed a document which shows all of the Limoge we have sold in the past year. I understand that our computer software is confusing, out the point of the document is that Limoge on a resale level is just not commanding the high prices Mrs Calkins believes it is in the Harrisburg area. Possibly, if we were in Boston or New York or France, there might be a slight price difference. Please remember that Mrs C'oikins willingly wished to consign her items in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with The Consignment Gallery for the price that we both agreed upon. Also, if she had chosen to, she could have reclaimed her plates at any time. I am sorry that Mrs Calkins is having such bitter remorse over the sale of her plates, but again I will reiterate that we had a mutual agreement, and The Consignment Gallery fufilled it's part of that agreement. No other compensation is going to be granted to Mrs Calkins. This harrassment and obstruction of business coming from Mrs Calkins must be brought to an end as soon as possible. Finally, The Consignment Gallery has done nothing wrong, and in addition The Consignment Gallery has an excellent reputation within the community, and these fabrications are Simply untrue and destructive, and I might add, illegal to perpetuate. Thank You for your fair and considerate attention to this matter, ;//~F~1 t/ Il L ----- -~ .' ':'._', ":",:, ',~ ., :. ,I:, _.:" . ': -',( _:-;...._~ . " .' :~'x," I, '_,;' :.' ~ .

Qescrip.tionof .Articles Endosed Ar:tide~On e: This is a typed copy of the statement Mrs Calkins brought with her, and gave to The Gallery when we were negotiating what the sale prfces of her items should be, even though the contract Mrs Calkins signed clearly states that all pricing of items are to be handled by The Consignment Gallery. Mrs Calkins spec\1lcaHy stilted that she wanted a sale price of $ ~50,00 to be placed on her six service plates. Although L1moge was misspeTfed, sne was undoubtedly reterring to the chargers in questton-. Tbis. ~ tyD~d on March 11, 1998, and Mrs Calkins came in tq cunsign on March 12, 1998, .1rtH;[e~rWO This was a statement we received in the mail trom MrsCalKins stating that she wished to leave her chargers at The Consignment Gallery for only one month. .. Set of 6 French Plates $ 150.00 U is clearly written in Mrs Calkins handwriting. thus reiterating the aforementioned contract price. Artide,Ihre~ This is a printout from The Consignment Gallery inventory data base showing the sale prices of various pieces of Limoge in our store. The software is confusing. because it automatically reduces the prices of the items, as they get marked down every 30 days they are for sale. Mrs Calkins items are inventory # 1n5319, and the price reflected is indicative of what their sale price would be if thEv had not sold, and were still on the floor for sale.

Based on the infonnationrand photocopies furnished by Ms. Calkins, 1 did appraise the Limoges plates or chargers at $150.00 each reflceting current market replaccment valuc. I hope the above statement together with my signature on this letter will suffice. If you need me to re-type my original letter to Ms. Calkins on my letterhead, please let me know, I do not have any names of porcelain appraisers in your immediate area, The closest in the Directory for my Association is in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, I am, howcver, enclosing a list of othels who are located in New .Jerscy, New York, Connccticut, and Massachusetts who may be able tn help you.

BOll 342 Bryan, TX 77806 December 2, 1998 Ms. Claire Calkins P. O. BOll 671 Carlisle, PA 17013 Dear Ms. Calkins: I had just mailed a response to your first inquiry yesterday when I received your second letter in the mail I picked up. From your second letter, I infer that you do not have the chargers now since they were sold, and thus you cannot furnish a picture as I requested in my reply. But you did indicate that the "Limoges, France," mark was in gold, and you furnished the size of the chargers. Gold marks are usually found on china which was made lat~r than 1900. Thus, I would date the chargers from circa the 1920s-1930s, taking into account, as well, the rather abstract or "modern" pattern. These were prObably designed as service plates for a dinner service because of the center white space, but their 11" diameter size, their decoration, and their origin of Limoges, France, determine value. As I told you in my reply to your first letter, the specific factory which made the china cannot be identified. Several companies throughout the history of Limoges marked their wares only with "Limoges, France." Based on the information and photocopies you furnished, I would appraise the current market replacement value of the porcelain at $150.00 for each plate. 1It ~~PNt!" efi.~~, Mary Frank Gaston Certified Member Antique Appraisal Association of America, Inc. i:iE.; /luv S/all/lr/ SIM/ dl/ 1I'01,S/w), '. {ill l'tljV f,';{1.t'/:,?je. 7 ,;',11/( t/r/~/lld/ - I ~ 1.;";55 1/'lZI/~ 1'/1f',1/1M"'j j~ -1,,/1 J/', .1" <'r;?/!( 7~;" (~~ .'~ /ven '1' / ..." ......., , '/;;;u /kk I , . c: c: " "\ . .,,:.,--........~- ...,..:"..'~.,.:!'--~~ '"--'''-:'-'\,'--''~;;-''-;'''~-'7".--~~',-:.~.,.:" ~ ,".

BOl< 671 Carlisle, PA 17013 Dear Ms. Calkins: I had just mailed a response to your first inquiry yesterday when I received your second letter in the mail I picked up. From your second letter, I infer that you do not have the chargers now since they were sold, and thus you cannot furnish a picture ~s I requested in my reply. But you did indicate that the "Limoges, France," mark was in gold, and you furnished the size of the chargers. Gold marks are usually found on china which was made later than 1900. Thus, I would date the chargers from circa the 1920s-1930s, taking into account, as well, the rather abstract or "modern" pattern. These were prObably designed as service plates for a dinner service because of the center white space, but their II" diameter size, their decoration, and their origin of Limoges, France, determine value. As I told you in my reply to YOur first letter, the specific factory which made the china cannot be identified. Several companies throughout the history of Limoges marked their wares only with "Limoges, Yr~nce." Based on the information and photocopies you furnished, I would appraise the current market replacement value of the porcelain at $150.00 for each plate. ~~~e:9~ Mary Frank Gaston Certified Member Antique Appraisal Association of America, Inc. . j .J ()JIl IfJ. . .W '(I'l~'1~ ~t( fUI'" ^ ~ (J-.

Patricia Marbain, Civil Action No. 98-7092 - Cumberl Our File No. 585-99(2) Dear Mrs. Calkins: We received your April I, 2002 correspondence and we noticed that you requested that no depositions be taken. At a minimum, we think it is essential that we request the deposition of the woman who purchased the Limoges and require her to bring at least one of the Limoges to the deposition. Moreover, we think it is imperative that we be allowed to take tIle Limoge plate and get an appraisal as to its worth. Please call my assistant, Deena, and set up an appointment so we can discuss our strategy with respect to how we will proceed in this case'l _ II ~ /)) (' " / 'A., {-I A ' JElllff LE#.J. ~ 1'. _, t-/: !t.If' In;rLlLl, 01'4, fYlujiJltt '////i/!/lJ 67,W;; ~ t//_ .:Z./yaj"b/1/A/.tC4!t/ftl Smcerelyyours, \l1'tM/ j/;..-Jt/[/ A1/U11t1.#t11.

Caught off guard and questioning her expertise a NO NO, her retort to retal- iate was of severe ange~ "The plates Bolo, sue me you Bit--, 1 don't want your business my shop." True story.
