Please ask any questions before purchase. As a collector, you may have specifics that you are looking for that I may have overlooked and I am happy to answer any questions. I want to have satisfied customers and will do what it takes to resolve any issues. Most of my items are purchased at estate auctions or come from personal collections. Almost all of my items are vintage, meaning they were originally purchased and used by another generation in another era and are going to show age appropriate signs of wear, therefore I cannot guarantee that items have been kept in a pet-free, smoke-free environment. I do my best to describe any obvious flaws, but please keep in mind, I am not an expert, so please look at the pictures and feel free to ask as many questions as you need to before purchasing.
