Descriptions:
I try to provide accurate descriptions. It’s important to understand that I’m not an expert on these items and so my assessments can be off. Information is often derived from internet sources which may not be accurate. I try to list any significant or noticeable defects, but I might miss something, so look at the photos. The measurements are rounded and can be off a bit.
Photos/Scans
: These are the most important part of the description. You need to examine them closely. If you see something you don’t like, there’s a good chance it’s still going to be there when you open the package. Still, it might be just a shadow or the lighting. Also, there might be something missing that you need to see. So, if it’s a deal breaker, please ask me about it before buying (or not buying).
Note
: a photo may contain unrelated items added for scale or ambiance, e.g., a U.S. half dollar (1.2") or dime (0.7”). Such items are not included in the sale. The sale includes only the item(s) detailed in the written description.
Definitions:
“Antique” means at least 100 years old (pre 1920), while “Vintage” means at least 50 years old (pre 1970). When an item is described as such, often it's just my considered estimate and should not be taken as an expert assessment. These are frequent search terms and are included for that reason.
