I specialize in unique and one-of-a-kind vintage or gently-used items which are still attractive, desirable or functional.   All items described with honest intent and to the best of seller's knowledge. Please read my listings carefully before you buy.  I generally don’t allow returns due to the nature of my items.  Any issues are handled on an individual basis.  Vintage items assumed to have wear typical for their age; if exceptionally bad (or good), it will be noted. Electricals (lamps, appliances, tools, electronics) are sold as-is, no warranty expressed or implied.
I do not polish most metal items because you can always remove the patina of age if not desired, but you can’t put it back on.
Please view my other listings - I might have what you didn't know you needed.
*Shipping note:  I will get your purchase to the shipper as promised in listing, however shipping times may be subject to delays in 2021.
