NO RESERVE....................................................................Estate Sale Item.........................................This auction is for an old , 1915 Wood , Autoharp , or Zither . At least I think that is what these are called . This is a bit of a FIXER , and was last used , hung on a wall , as decoration . There are lots of cracks in the wood , some I can see are repairs , and also a couple of screws added on corners over the years . None of the strings are tight , so it makes no music , presently . There is a nice old color decal picture on the upper left front , with a battle ship in it . The decal is marked , “ Special Panama Model 1915 “ . The overall size of the Instrument is approx. 20 in. long , 13 1/2 in. wide , and about 1 3/4 in. thick . Please look at my photos closely , as this is being sold as is , a FIXER , or just wall decoration .
The maximum shipping cost , ( 10 lbs , 24x18x7 , Parcel Post ) , will be approx. $19.50 , (West Coast to East Coast) , which is INSURED SHIPPING . Alaska and Hawaii could cost more , so email me for that shipping cost . Depending how close you are to Los Angeles , the shipping could be less . Please look at all my photos closely , and please , ask all your questions before you bid . Paypal is welcome from the U.S.A. .
It’s always a very wise idea , to check back on an auction , on it’s last day , to see if there has been any new updated information added to the auction .

ALL PACKAGES SHIPPED TO OUTSIDE THE 50 UNITED STATES , ARE SHIPPED ONLY , VIA PRIORITY MAIL , NO MATTER HOW SMALL , OR HOW LARGE , THE ITEM IS . THERE IS NEVER EVER , EVER , AN EXCEPTION MADE ON THIS INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RULE . . ... PICK UPS are only possibly considered on large or heavy items , and is a RARE occurrence , because my schedule makes it “ very inconvenient “ for me . Always ask , concerning a pick up , before you bid , otherwise the item must be shipped . U.S. SHIPPING is ALWAYS by USPS Priority Mail , on most average size items . I do consider using UPS Ground , and Parcel Post , on large or heavy items . All you have to do is ask me before bidding , and there will be no surprises on the shipping costs or method .
