N.B.  Please note that this is a tiny item - the pencil is an ordinary one.

This is a gorgeous butter churn by Jane Graber, signed and dated 1996, with its original lid and churn stick, but it is damaged.  It cracked in one area along the rim towards the front, and three or four pieces separated.  They have been carefully glued back into place (with a non-yellowing glue) and the piece looks okay from a distance.  On close inspection, especially from the inside, you can see the repair.  The lid is intact.  This is sold AS IS, with no guarantee that it will not re-fracture in shipping.  Please look at the photos carefully!

The churn itself is 1 9/16 inches (4.0 cm) tall, 15/16 inch (2.4 cm) wide.  With the churn stick it is approximately 2 1/8 inches (5.4 cm) tall.  SCH31

This item has been stored in a smoke-free, pet-friendly home.  All my estate miniatures have been gently cleaned if appropriate, checked for flaws and researched.  I aim to offer miniatures that are ready for display without any extra work needed by you.

This is a decorative item intended for adult collectors, not a toy.

Multiple purchases

If you are bidding on items that finish on different days, please let me know; don't pay for each item separately (it messes up combined shipping as once you pay for an item I have to ship it within two days or I get penalized by eBay.).  I'm happy to wait for payment until you have done shopping (within a week) in order to hopefully save you some shipping costs.  I will then send you one invoice reflecting the combined shipping and packaging when you tell me that you are done bidding.

Guarantee

If you aren't totally satisfied with your purchase then you may return it to me undamaged for a refund of your purchase price (buyer normally pays return postage).  Please contact me directly first if you have concerns, ideally within two weeks of your receipt of the goods.

Shipping - USA

I use USPS Ground Advantage with tracking unless you request and pay for Priority.  Multiple purchases can usually receive a discount on shipping and handling.

Shipping - International

I welcome international bidders but please check the shipping estimate before bidding.  I can usually ship a couple of items together for this same price.  I'm happy to give a specific quote if you contact me a reasonable time ahead of the auctions ending.

Your country's import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.  These charges are the buyer's responsibility.  These charges may be calculated and collected by eBay upon checkout or by the delivering shipping company or when you pick the item up.  Don't confuse them with any additional shipping charges.  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs might be prior to bidding or buying.  I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts".  US and international government laws prohibit such actions.  Thank you for your understanding.
