TO FIND ME ON THE WEB, SEARCH: serengeti2antiques. My site has many more treasures that I am disposing of from my own collection.

Are you looking for thimble and needlework tool reference books? I have many that are out of print. Email me with your list and I will see if I can find what you need.

If there is damage present on an item, it will be included within the actual listing otherwise items are in-round, sound and any blemishes being consistent with age. I DO NOT weigh thimbles by carat weight. If known, I will include the fineness marking - example. 10K, 14K, and so on.

To enlarge an image, please click on it. I photograph at very high resolution so a small blemish might appear huge when in fact you'd need a very strong magnifying loupe to even see it. Variations between online images and the actual item may be present. If you wish to know more about the item, email with enough time before the auction closes so that I have an opportunity to respond to you.

If you are bidding on multiple items that close on the same day -- like items can be combined into one shipment. Please wait for me to adjust your final invoice so that you do not pay separate shipping on items that can be combined. Books ship Media Mail (USPS) and cannot be combined with thimbles or needlework tools.

Returns will be accepted only If an item has been misrepresented and within the specified return time period - Buyer pays to return the item. Buyers Remorse is not a reason for a return and no refund will be forthcoming.

Shipping: Packages are mailed out using the US Postal Service. Although I pack items with the utmost care and with ample padding, breakage can occur due to poor handling by the Postal Service. If you have not purchased additional insurance, I am not responsible for the damage. Items are inspected prior to packaging and leave me in the condition as stated in the listing.
