Antique Cast Iron CAT Bobble NODDER Figurine PIN CUSHION
This is an antique Victorian era pin cushion holder made in the form of a cat with a nodding head. The head is attached to a flexible metal bar, so that when you touch the head it nods rapidly. The cat is made of cast metal, I assume iron, and was over painted. Some of the original paint has chipped off, especially noticeable is the missing yellow paint on the cat's right eye. The back of the cat is hollow and would have originally had a pin cushion in it - this is missing, but can be easily replaced. It measures 3" by 1 ½" with a height of 1 ¾" and weighs 3 oz. It is in very good condition aside from the aforementioned paint wear and missing cushion. Just a wonderful collectible for the cat lover, the pin cushion collector or the nodder collector…Please click on any photo in order to enlarge……no reserve….and please be sure to view my other auctions for more interesting vintage and antique items, all collected from a number of good quality local estates….
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ:
PLEASE NOTE: BUYER PAYS SHIPPING - PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I CONTACT YOU AFTER THE AUCTION to avoid error. The reason for this is that package sizes and weights are estimates only as we cannot fully package items before they are sold. Please e-mail us for a shipping quote or wait until after the auction for a precise shipping cost. Our auctions end on Sunday evening, so I will be in touch with the correct invoice by Monday afternoon, after we have had the chance to carefully package your item.
I am now shipping to my US clients through USPS services. I am located in Canada but I now have a carrier service to bring my parcels directly across the border on Thursdays to be shipped out of the USPS postal outlet in Champlain, N.Y. In addition to the actual shipping cost, I do charge a $4.00 handling fee to cover the cost of this special US service. Please note that even with the handling fee that it is less expensive and is a quicker service than using Canada Post. If you wish your item to be shipped by USPS in the same week, I would require your paypal payment by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.
PLEASE NOTE: For items which sell over $200.00, I must ship to my U.S. clients using Canada Post, this is due to customs regulations.
To my Canadian clients, I use Canada Post for shipping, as I am based in Canada.
To my International clients I can ship by either Canada Post or by USPS (in order to use USPS for intl. clients - the items must sell for under $200.00).
Please feel free to write with any inquiries in regards to cost of shipping to you.
