Descriptions
: I try to provide accurate descriptions but understand that I’m not an expert. Information is often derived from internet sources and may not be accurate. I list significant or noticeable defects, but I might miss something, so look at the photos. Also, measurements can be off a bit.
Photos/Scans:
These are an 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-1921), while “Vintage” means at least 50 years old (pre-1971). Often, this is just my estimate and should not be taken as an expert assessment.
“Crazing” is a pattern of fine cracks that commonly develops in the glazing of ceramic items with age and thermal stress.

: The time given near the top of this listing is an eBay estimate – not mine and it is not guaranteed. The USPS does not guarantee delivery times for the First Class and Priority Mail shipments that I use because delays on their part are always a possibility.

Sales Taxes
: eBay will collect and remit your state’s sales tax on your purchase
