THE FRANKLIN MINT TREASURY OF CAROUSEL ART THE JUMPER HORSE 86 POINTS In 1988, The Franklin Mint created a set of one dozen beautifully hand-painted porcelain replicas of some of the most prized EARLY 20TH CENTURY CAROUSEL ANIMALS then preserved in Private American Collections. Here for your perusal is THE JUMPER HORSE, created by CAROUSEL MAKER CHARLES WALKER PARKER of Leavenworth, Kansas, CIRCA 1917. The GRADED CONDITION of this Carousel is: VERY GOOD+/EXCELLENT- CONDITION. The Base is moderately figured with very good finish depth. The Spindle is unoxidated. There are seven finish flaws in the Base. Of 100 possible points, this Carousel receives a NUMERIC SCORE of: 86 POINTS. Fourteen points have been deducted for base finish flaws described above. Shipping will be combined for all Carousel pieces: 1-2 pieces ship as 1. 3-4 pieces ship as 2. 5 pieces ship as 3. 919 pieces ship as 902. We do not do repairs. We do not disguise damage. We use a jewelers' loop when grading porcelain and fine china, and make every effort to find every chip, crack, scratch, break, repair, and/or finish damage/irregularity. We clean superficially & dust/polish wood surfaces, and describe items as they are. Our customers know exactly what they are purchasing, and are NEVER unpleasantly surprised. Our packaging is first-rate. Of 550+ shipped packages, we received reports of only two that contained damaged merchandise, and BOTH OF THESE COMPLAINTS were from a single Buyer, and we therefore regard these complaints as highly suspect. More to the point, we do not believe that the Buyer communicated honestly about this merchandise, despite the fact that she received September's Super-Cool, King, Bad, & Groovy, Montly Prize, valued at $50.00 (which she never acknowledged). Instead of "thank you", we received negative feedback from this Buyer, who is now a Blocked Bidder. (Thanks, w****#6). The QvSoft & Phila Way: In the event that you receive merchandise from us that is not what you expected or intended to purchase, by all means, please contact us immediately. We are flexible within reason, and would like for you to feel that you have received a quality product at a fair price, that you have been treated courteously and with respect, and that your experience with us reflects our regard of your patronage as an earned privilege. Several hundred years ago, my UCSB Intensive Mandarin Professor voiced his belief that the sole purpose of doing business was to generate profit. In respectful disagreement I replied, (para.) “I believe that the purpose of operating a business is to offer a product or service of high quality at a price that benefits the community which it serves, and of which it is a beneficent member”. I still believe this, and I insist that this philosophy be carried in the presentation and conduct of our business. We feel that we are deserving of your patronage only to the degree that we extend this level of service to you. For these reasons, we regard a complaint as a considerate gesture that represents an opportunity to enhance our merchant-customer relationships through the improvement of our conduct. To be eligible for participation in our SUPER-COOL, KING, BAD, and GROOVY MONTHLY PRIZE GIVEAWAY, please leave FEEDBACK, and add us to your FAVORITE SELLERS LIST. Doing so is the only way that The Super-Secret Super-Duper Prize codes will be revealed to you , and without them, you will be unable to expunge the karma accumulated through the gluttonous consumption of THE HIP GEAR and THE FINE STUFF. Doomed to exist unstylishly in the CYCLE of birth, old age, death, and re-birth for as many eons as The Sands of Pamela Anderson's Panties, you will suffer the embarrassing inconvenience and hardship of growing out of your clothes throughout all of Eternity. Subscribe, and you may experience the momentary bliss of THE DIVINE FREEBIE, which is the gateway experience to enlightenment, as well as something that you can sell if you want to. (Void where prohibited by law). FREEBIES are non-refundable. So sayeth DAVID, THE TEDIOUSLY VERBOSE. (The Theatre respondeth): SO SAYETH WE!, HUZZAH!!, FORSOOTH!!!, and CARPE CEREVISI!!!!!
