In very good to great condition. No writing or tears. Book Only.
See photos for sizing, condition, etc. Enlarge the images on your device. It can be helpful to see details more clearly. Message me ANY questions. I try not to list a ton of redundant info about the items pictured as I try to make sure the pictures/title/description tell enough of the story. All items I sell are checked for flaws seen by the naked eye. Pieces are typically pre-owned, hand-picked by me and will show signs of wear. This is considered normal. If anything is above and beyond this, I will note it and/or photograph it.
I prefer there be no surprises. A happy, repeat customer is always my goal!
I can combine packaging for lower shipping rate when purchasing more than one item.
NOTES ABOUT VINTAGE:
These items are in many cases 20 to 80 years old. They have been loved, worn, used and will in many cases, show signs of wear. This is considered normal and it's what makes vintage so special! It has quirks....thats what gives vintage character. If you truly understand vintage and love it like and me and so many others then please bid. If you want store bought, like new perfection, look to others.
I rarely, if ever use the word pristine, excellent or like new, especially when talking about vintage. It sets up the expectation the item is like brand new. Jewelry, clothing and hats especially can show patina and/or wear, and often do.
I sometimes use words like good/great working condition, great item, beautiful, lovely, stunning, etc. This again, does not mean perfect, untouched, or pristine. It means that as a reseller of vintage items I SEE and RESEARCH what else is out there and am offering my opinion. Your opinion may differ, as opinions often do, that's where you need to be diligent about asking specific questions and researching it on your own too, so that YOU have a comfort level with your bid and purchase.
Regarding jewelry, I prefer to sell items that do not have loose stones or crystals, or pins that come undone in a second! If this happens, I will disclose this to you. I also try to find things that are more unique to the vintage costume jewelry market. Don't over look the unsigned pieces. They were all once sold for so little and yet, so well crafted.

KINDLY message me before leaving a negative review. Working with sellers ALWAYS helped me in the past when I had been less than happy with things I bought online! I know expectations can run high on bids, offers and wins, but remember: look, ask questions, do your research and really understand what vintage means....and you just might be pleasantly surprised!
FINAL WORD:
This is a business for me. I am the one who seeks out and curates the items sold, photographs, does the research, lists items, updates, emails, packs and ships out the items purchased. It's a LOT of work. When offers come to me on a Buy It Now that are ridiculously low, I will decline them. I typically expect YOU to counter offer MY counter offer, unless you catch me on a day I am looking to reduce inventory or I feel you are being reasonable.
I have to cover my costs, AND MAKE A PROFIT. I am VERY fair with pricing and shipping costs. So. Respect the process of selling online, it is not without cost, time, and labor. Thank you!
