********  SELLING WITHOUT RESERVE  ********

From our many years of collecting RV toys and memborabilia, we have acquired many Airstream and Airstream-style toys and collectibles, as well as many unusual RV objects.  This Airstream-looking handbag is unusual, clever, creative, handsome and practical.  It is in near-mint, clean, original condition.  See our photos.  It has the silver color of an Airstream, and the old-style canned ham shape (rounded at both ends).  There is a hinged top/lid that swings upward to open the purse, and it has a clasp lock to hold the purse closed.   Inside, there is a small mirror and a drawer with a compartment underneath.  It has a leather carrying strap, and it sits on four corner supports and two half tires on its underside (which are 2 toy tires that have been cut in half and attached to the bottom of the handbag), so it looks like a camper.  The creator of this purse has carefully drawn the camper door, a dozen windows, a tow hitch, and warning lights onto the exterior of the RV.  It is a one-of-a-kind, hand-made piece that is remarkably well-done.     

The purse measures about 7.5" long, by 3.5" wide and 4" tall.     

This classic Airstream style handbag is part of the collection of the authors of the recent 2008 book RV & CAMPER TOYS: THE HISTORY OF RVing IN MINIATURE, which was published by Iconografix and which is available for purchase online on EBAY and elsewhere.  In fact, a picture of this Airstream purse appears on page 31 of that book.  See our photos.  We are now selling our extensive collection.

Sold "as is."  No warranties.  All sales final.  Be sure to take S&H fees into account before bidding (as unfortunately, costs for everything have gone up for all of us, including S & H costs ... we do not make money from S & H, but we try to cover the costs of handling and packaging each item).  Thanks for looking at our listing. 

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT S&H, INSURANCE, AND EBAY POLICY CHANGE: Ebay has now changed its policy about responsibility for shipped items and has placed that liability upon sellers, unless insurance is purchased. So, Ebay/PayPal will make more money from the purchasing of that insurance, and it will cost sellers and buyers more. We are required to comply if we want to sell thru Ebay/PayPal. Accordingly…..

FOR US BUYERS: We will send all items sold for $50 or less by Priority Mail with delivery confirmation.  For all items sold for more than $50, we will send such items by Priority Mail with delivery confirmation and will require insurance purchased from the US Post Office and paid for by the buyers. This insurance will add $2.25 (or more, depending on the price of an item) to the cost of S&H, and buyers should wait for an invoice from us before paying in order to learn the correct S&H fees.

FOR FOREIGN BUYERS: For items sold for $25 or more, we will send them by International Priority Mail, which includes insurance, to be paid for by the foreign buyers as part of the S&H fees. Foreign bidders can contact us before auctions end (but not on the weekend when our Post Office is closed) in order to ask the cost of such priority mail, insurance, and total S&H fees.
