Photos are intended to be an integral part of the description and should be carefully reviewed. Please keep in mind that antiques and vintage items are, by virtue of time and technology, rarely "mint" by modern-day standards. Items described as "perfect" may be expected to be free of damage such as chips, cracks, hairlines or excessive discoloration. They may be expected to carry reasonable signs of the sometimes less precise methods of early manufacture, or perhaps a bit of wear here and there. It's part of their charm.

We take great care to accurately represent the condition of each item, and of course, fully guarantee every item to be as described. If you feel an error has been made, please notify us immediately. Returns are accepted provided notification is received within 3 business days of receipt of your item and the item is postmarked no later than 10 days after notice. Full sale price and postage will be refunded in the event that an item is returned due to undisclosed damage or a relevent error or omission in the listing.
