ANTIQUE METAL ALPHABET METAL PLATES DIES STENCILS - HUGE LOT!!
This auction is for ?????. I'm not 100% certain what to call these. These are engraved metal plates that I believe once was for a printing press back in the day, like stencils but the letters are engraved inwards and not outwards like a punch set. Theses sets are OLD - probably from the late 1800's. There are 2 slide cases included which are a little rough. I found a few more letters loose in the box after I took the pictures so those are included as well. As you can tell from the bottom pictures - they range in size from around 2-3" for each piece. There are multiple sets in various fonts and styles plus some larger pieces like birds, masonic, etc.... I know I should be breaking up the sets and selling each one at a time but I decided to keep everything together - at least for now. If you have any information that you wish to share with me as to what these really are for - please feel free to share you knowledge!!!!
PAYMENTS
We accept PAYPAL, plus other options like local pickup for FREE and coming soon - ProPay!! We do ship ASAP upon payment as noted above within 1 business day 95% of the time!! We do file Non Paying Bidder Alert with Ebay for non-payments!!!
Furthermore, Ebay's new payment rules of requiring all Ebay bidders to use an online electronic form of payment like Paypal, Propay, etc... has scared away many of my loyal and repeat customers who do have have this form of payment method available. DO NOT let this be an obstacle to your bidding on any of my items!! I welcome all bids, even from those bidders who do not have a Paypal account.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - PLEASE READ
Attention all international bidders - I welcome bids from all around this great world of ours!! But please note that I only ship outside of the United States via USPS (United States Postal Service) by Priority Mail ONLY unless its a smaller item in which case I can ship via USPS First Class mail if the value is under $50.00. This is for both your protection, speedy delivery of your purchase and for delivery confirmation/tracking. Please feel free to contact me for a S&H quote but please do so upto 24 hours before the auction ends. I'm not always home in front of my computer when my many listings end.

SHIPPING & HANDLING FOR US BIDDERS
Shipping and handling is set at a fixed rate for for the upper 48 states. My goal is to ALWAYS ship out the next business day!!! I normally ship using either USPS Priority Mail shipping or FEDEX Ground shipping so that you get your items right away!!! Please note that Ebay doesn't have a shipping option for Fedex so I'm forced to UPS Ground as the shipping option on their system but items will be shipped via Fedex instead. Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and Puerto Rico will be slightly higher.
Pennsylvania Residents must add 6% sales tax to your winning bid
No charge for local pickup on any of my items!!
