IMPORTANT INFO - PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY: Item Descriptions: All items I list as vintage, antique and/or collectible have had previous lives and show wear appropriate to their age, some more than others. Most items come from my family estates. In most cases, I leave the cleaning, polishing and/or repairs, or not, up to the buyer. I describe each item honestly and to the best of my ability, however, I am definitely NOT an expert. Please read item descriptions carefully before you bid and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Shipping: I am happy to combine shipping whenever possible. I cannot combine shipping on items that are especially fragile and need to be packaged separately or items purchased under the eBay Buy It Now offer. Because I am generally selling quite old and irreplaceable items, I prefer to ship Priority Mail in order to reduce the time these items are in the post. Whenever I am able to safely ship using a less expensive method I will make that an option available to the buyer. I will ship only to the address you have provided in your eBay account. Please do not ask to change the shipping address. If your item should arrive damaged, please contact me immediately and retain the original packaging. I will require from you photo proof of damage to the item and the packaging. Please send as many photos as necessary to provide clear proof to the carrier of damage. And please retain the damaged item and the packaging as long as necessary. Some carriers require the physical proof instead of photos. If I do not insure the item through the carrier, I will personally provide a full refund, including shipping costs. If I have insured the item, I will provide to you information regarding collecting insurance. Payments: Payment is due within 3 days of the end of the auction or at the time of purchase if you are buying through the Buy it Now option. Your item will ship within 1-2 business days of cleared payment. If you prefer, you may make arrangements to pickup your item at my location. Returns: See Listing Details for this item, please. All items must be returned in the condition that you received them. International Buyers: Please contact me before buying if you are from outside the U.S.. I will be happy to calculate Shipping and Handling for an international address. You will be responsible for all tariffs, duties or custom fees related to the item purchased. I ship internationally using only Priority Mail as that is the only international method of shipping through the U.S. Postal Service that provides delivery confirmation. I will ship only to the address provided in your eBay account. Questions: Please ask. I’m happy to help.
