ANOTHER TREASURE I FOUND WHILE OPENING LONG STORED BOXES.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAMERA STYLE, DECO, FACE POWDER COMPACT. FROM THE ORIGINAL POWDER “PUFF” IT APPEARS IT WAS BARELY USED. IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT.
THE EXTERIOR IS COVERED IN BEAUTIFUL “IVORY MOTHER OF PEARL” CELLULOID IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS A SLIGHT RAISED EDGE WHERE THE CELLULOID WRAPS AROUND TO TOP ON ONE END. I THINK IT IS AN EASY FIX WITH A TOUCH OF GLUE.
THE BEVELED MIRROR IS IN GREAT CONDITION.
CURIOUSLY, THERE IS NO MAKERS MARK. IT LOOKS LIKE A GIREY EXCEPT FOR THE PUSH BUTTON ON THE SIDE THAT LOOKS TO ME TO BE SMALLER THAN THE ONES ON GIREYS. AND, THE SPRING IS ENCLOSED AND IS STRONG AND WORKS BEAUTIFULLY.
IT IS MARKED “FACE POWDER”, “PAT.PENDING”
NOTE: I AM IN ARIZONA. IF YOU ARE ON THE EAST COAST OR SOME OTHER CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE FROM HERE IT WILL COST MORE TO SHIP ANYTHING TO YOU, ESPECIALLY IF THE OBJECT IS HEAVY AND/OR DELICATE. IF I CAN SHIP FIRST CLASS, UP TO ONE LB., THEN I DO THAT. OTHERWISE, BECAUSE INSURANCE IS INCLUDED AND, FOR THE MOST PART I HAVE GOOD SERVICE FROM PRIORITY MAIL, THATS WHAT I WILL USE. I DONT SET THE RATES. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BID. THANKS.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO SHIP TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ONE YOU HAVE IN YOUR EBAY ACCOUNT. IF YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS OLEASE DO IT IN YOUR EBAY ACCOUNT SO THAT I GET THAT ADDRESS DIRECTLY FROM EBAY. THIS IS TO PROTECT BOTH THE BUYER AND ME.
I DECIDED I SHOULD HAVE AN ESTATE SALE WHILE I'M HERE TO ENJOY IT! PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE OTHER ITEMS I'VE LISTED AND WILL CONTINUE TO LIST FOR A GOOD LONG TIME. THEY ARE FROM BOXES AND DRAWERS, ETC. SOME OF WHICH I HAVEN'T OPENED FOR FIFTY YEARS!
PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE PHOTOS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU BID. IF YOU'D LIKE MORE PHOTOS, JUST ASK ME AND I'M HAPPY TO SEND THEM ALONG. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING, IF POSSIBLE. IF YOU DO WANT COMBINED SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT.I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL AND I ONLY SHIP WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL USA. I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS UNLESS YOU FIND THAT I HAVE MATERIALLY MISREPRESENTED AN ITEM, AND AS YOU'LL SEE FROM MY FEEDBACK, I DON'T DO THAT. MY HOME IS SMOKE FREE AND I DO HAVE A DOG.
RECENTLY, I HAD AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE WITH A BUYER. AS YOU SEE ABOVE, I DO HAVE A DOG. AND, LIKE MOST DOGS IT SHEDS. INVARIABLY THERE IS DOG HAIR ON ME AND IN THE HOUSE. I MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SELL AND SHIP ITEMS THAT ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM DOG HAIR. OF COURSE I DO! HOWEVER, ITS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE A HAIR MAY ESCAPE MY NOTICE AND END UP IN THE BOX I USE TO SHIP OR ON AN ITEM.
THAT SAID, IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC, SEVERELY OR OTHERWISE TO DOG HAIR, PLEASE DON?T BID BECAUSE AS UNLIKELY AS IT IS YOU WILL BE EFFECTED BY A STRAY DOG HAIR, WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THE CHANCE AND I WILL NOT REDUCE A PRICE OR ACCEPT A RETURN BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE STRAY DOG HAIR.
ALSO, IF I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A PIECE, THE PRIOR OWNERS HOUSEHOLD CONDITIONS ARE UNKNOWN TO ME.
I EXPECT PAYMENT WITHIN 3 DAYS OF YOUR WINNING BID AND I WILL SHIP WITHIN 3 DAYS OF PAYMENT(EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS). IF YOU HAVE SOME COMPELLING REASON (WEDDING, ETC,) T YOU WOULD PREFER IT SHIPPED SOONER THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND, IF I CAN, I WILL DO WHAT I CAN TO SHIP IT SOONER.
ONE MORE THING THAT I REGRET HAVING TO ADD. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS I'VE HAD PEOPLE BID AND WIN AND THEN NOT MAKE PAYMENT. I ALWAYS SEND A POLITE REQUEST/REMINDER THAT PAYMENT WAS DUE 3 DAYS AFTER THE WIN. I REALLY DON'T LIKE HAVING TO REPORT TO EBAY THAT A BUYER HAS NOT PAID BUT IF YOU DON'T CONTACT ME TO TELL ME THERE'S A PROBLEM.....EBAY WILL CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND REFUND THEIR FEE AND I WILL PUT YOU ON MY "BLOCK" LIST. SO, IF YOU BID PLEASE PLAN ON MAKING THE PAYMENT WITHIN 3 DAYS. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE BE SAFE!
