Purchased at an estate auction, it is of unknown provenance. We make no claims to its age, authenticity or previous use. Please examine the photos closely to determine the validity of this item’s condition and what was previously stated.
While we ship within a couple of days of an auction ending, USPS shipping can still be very slow with significant delivery delays. Some items arrive within a week, others take several weeks. There is no way to predict how long delivery will take. By bidding and making a purchase you acknowledge and accept delivery could be delayed and will not hold us accountable for those delays.

You may return this item within 14 days of receipt for full refund if you are unsatisfied. Item must be in the same state it was in when purchased.

We honor the world we all share. Toward this end, almost all of our packaging materials have been repurposed. It may not be pretty, but works and maybe saves a tree or two. PLEASE, if the packaging appears damaged, take photos as you open it. This will help us resolve insurance claims with the shipper.
