Please look closely at the pictures; they are part of the description. We are describing what we see but you are the expert. If described as VINTAGE or ANTIQUE, it should never be expected to look like new. Color or image quality displayed on your device may not be exactly as the item appears in person, since each device has different display settings.
SHIPPING - Please Read: Our items are typically shipped UPS with prices fixed by the carrier. We have added the USPS option in the case of shipping to a P.O. Box. Since the selling platform retains a percentage of our shipping fees, not all of what you pay actually comes to us. We are not able to offer discounts or invoice you for shipping charges outside of the U.S.
Please consider that you are easily able to browse our listings to purchase items that cost us time (hours at auctions and "clean-up" time) and money (travel, shipping supplies, etc.) to present to you, and contact us with any serious concerns before posting low feedback or star ratings. We will do our best to respond promptly.
