Description
...I recently purchaed a life long collection of antique Abraham Lincoln images, many lithographs, etchings, steel engravings and hand colored prints etc. Many are pencil signed by the artist and all are in very good condition unless otheriwse noted. Some show little spots of reflection in the glass, these are not flaws, I will point out any flaws if and when there are any. Every piece will start at $9.99 and there are no reserves, I will be happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases...
This is a fine steel engraving by J.D. Pound from an original photograph by Brady, the bottom entitled "Abraham Lincoln President of the United States". The sight size of the steel engraving with wording is 12 1/2" x 8" and with the matt and fine Victorian walnut frame with gilt rabbit it is 19" x 14". Overall very good condition, no issues to report, nice clean image in remarkable condition...displays very nice...
...Starting at just $9.99 with NO RESERVE!
Thanks for taking the time to participate in my auctions and please check back from time to time as I list fresh and interesting antiques and fine arts just about every night!
About Me & My Auctions
All items on my page are listed to the best of my knowledge with all their positive attributes and of course their flaws fully exposed. I have over seventeen years working with antiques and fine arts, owning a couple nice antique shops over the years. I recently sold my auction gallery in December of 2008 which I owned for seven years to devote myself full time on eBay, it is not a hobby or pastime, it is my job. I travel about 800-1200 miles per week throughout New England, New York and other parts of the east coast visiting auction houses, estate sales, flea markets, house calls and local pickers who sell me interesting antiques and fine arts all the time. I strive to list quality items on my page, most with no reserve, at the rate of about 50 - 100 auctions per week. I recently hired my cousin Steven to pack and ship the sold items with the care I have given them in years past, I spare no expense to make sure your items arrive in the exact condition they left in.

U.S.P.S. & Fedex & Greyhound Shipping

Shipping Quotes on Larger Items:
Quoted and invoiced shipping prices (weight & dimensional) for chairs, tables, trunks, furniture, and heavy bulky items,etc. may not be correct especially if we are shipping coast to coast, large packages are difficult to estimate the actual weight when listed as to compared to once they packaged, you may be emailed for an adjustment after packaged and the actual weight is known, a package seams to get larger than expected with all the special packing involved with these types of items when you are trying to ensure a safe delivery.
I guarantee you find my shipping as some of the best you will receive when it comes to ensuring your treasure arrives in one piece, just check-out my feedback! The cost alone is shipping materials per week runs in excess of $350.00.

Shipping Large Items by Greyhound Bus lines
Cost Effective, Excellent Service, 6-10 Days Cross Country!
Greyhound Bus Lines is a cost effective way of shipping large packages, too large or expensive through U.S.P.S. and FedEx. This is a very economical way to ship, it can save you as much as 75% in shipping costs depending where you live...the package is delivered to your nearest Greyhound terminal where they will contact you when the package arrives and you can go to the terminal and pick up yourself...

International Shipping
~~~~I SHIP TO THE REGISTERED PayPal ADDRESS ONLY~~~~
Items are shipped to foreign countries by U.S.P.S. Priority Mail International and or Express Mail International at my discretion.
"NO PARCEL POST"
Depending on the country in which you live you may be responsible for taxes and/or duties on your end, please see your local government for their guidelines, I am not responsible for packages that are held up in foreign customs.
Overseas packages can only be insured up to $500.00 by the U.S.P.S. click and ship program. These laws and regulations seem to change all the time, if you buy something expensive I highly recommend Express International Mail.
If a package is somewhat small and weighs less than 4 lbs., I can ship these items over by U.S. Registered Mail which can possibly be insured for more, all countries are different in this area also and you should familiarize yourself with your countries shipping laws, tariff surcharges and customs regulations if you regularly buy from U.S. sellers.
The day your item(s) are shipped you will receive an email with tracking numbers and pertinent information you may need.
