Description

1910 – Four-panel illustrated advertising folder for wooden boats from the Dunphy Boat Manufacturing Company

Eau Claire, Wisconsin: 1910.

This four-panel illustrated advertising folder for wooden boats was printed in orange and black. It was sent by the Dunphy Boat Manufacturing Company in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to a potential customer within the same city. It is franked with a one-cent green Franklin stamp (Scott #331) that is tied to the front panel with an Eau Claire flag cancelation dated March 22, 1910. In nice shape with a little postal soiling.

The address panel features a large corner card consisting of stylized illustrations of the bows of five wooden Dunphy Boats.

The two inside panels provide a photo-mechanical image and two line drawings of a Dunphy Boat. The text includes specifications and pricing for six models ranging from 18 to 28 feet. The three smaller models are priced between $200 and $225. There are additional short descriptions on the Frame, Planking, Decks, Cockpit, Painting, and Fittings.

The rear panel, titled “Concerning Boat Value,” touts the boats quality and value.

Payment

PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments.

Other methods of payment may be possible.

Shipping

Domestic Shipping. Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis. Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying.

International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program.  I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers.  If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you.

If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable.  Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you  have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it.

If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal.

All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
