CHECK OUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE VASE THAT I HAVE UP FOR BIDS VERY CLOSELY, BECAUSE THE TOP FRONT OF THE VASE MAY BE CHIPPED OFF. IT STILL DISPLAYS VERY NICELY . I HAVE QUITE A FEW OTHER VERY, VERY OLD KENTUCKY DERBY MEMORABILA ITEMS SIMILAR TO IT THAT ARE ALMOST ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD THAT I BOUGHT FROM A LADY MANY YEARS AGO WHO SAID THAT THEY WERE CREATED IN THE 1920S. SOME OF THEM ARE CUPS, AND THERE ARE OTHER STYLES TOO,THAT HAVE VERY SIMILAR DRAWINGS ON THEM OF A KENTUCKY DERBY DAY SCENE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A PERSON WHO COLLECTS VINTAGE KENTUCKY DERBY MEMORABILIA WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A COLLECTION OF THESE TO DISPLAY,AND I’M GOING TO BE AUCTIONING OFF QUITE A FEW OF THEM. 

IN THIS AUCTION, I HAVE UP FOR BIDS A VERY RARE AND VINTAGE CHURCHILL DOWNS (home of the KENTUCKY DERBY) VASE.  I'VE HAD THIS VASE FOR ABOUT FIFTY YEARS, AND "MADE IN GERMANY" IS STAMPED ON THIS ONE. I HAVE QUITE A FEW VERY SIMILAR ITEMS, AND JUST ABOUT ALL OF THEM HAVE "MADE IN GERMANY OR BAVARIA", STAMPED ON THEM.  I'M GOING TO START THIS AUCTION AT A VERY LOW PRICE OF $12.99, EVEN THOUGH I FEEL THAT THIS PCUP SHOULD BRING AT LIST FIVE TIMES THAT MUCH. I'LL BE LISTING A LOT MORE OF GLASS KENTUCKY DERBY MEMORABILIA THAT WAS MADE IN GERMANY IN THE COMING MONTHS. The shipping and handling cost for this glass vase is $7.99.  I will pack it very securely.  I combine shipping and handling charges if a bidder wins more than one of my auctions.
