About Us

Potential buyers please note that most of my items are antique, vintage and/or used and wear will be commensurate with age which I procure from estate sales, auctions, flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops.  Many times items are sold in the same condition that I find them if they are ANTIQUE or VINTAGE in composition or of high fragility.  Many items are dusty and/or dirty from years of storage and cannot be cleaned properly with my level of expertise and will be left for the new owners to clean properly.  Also I cannot always vouch for their being from non-smoking or pet-free environments.  I am continually shoping for new and unusual vintage/antique items so PLEASE visit my eBay store on a regular basis for newly acquired items that I may have found.  THANK YOU for your interest in my eBay auction items!
