This auction is for a group of 4 vintage solid metal (spelter or lead) pug dogs playing in a band.  They were made in Germany sometime pre-WW2 by the Heyde company. Each of them stands up by himself. There is one playing a horn, one banging a drum, one playing a flute, and one playing a large standing stringed instrument (cello?). They each stand a little over an inch and a half tall.  In the last picture I show this with a 2.5 inch tall Vertunni prince - the Vertunni is shown for size comparison only and is not included in this auction.    Please see my other auctions and my eBay store for lots more vintage German and other metal animals and figural desk items, toy soldiers, Marklin cannon, and vintage and out of print books on old toys.

I combine shipping on multiple purchases. 

Payment:   All buyers, per eBay policy I can only accept PayPal as a payment method for all auctions. Payment is due within seven days from the end of the auction. If your payment is not received within this time period your order will be canceled and the item relisted. 

Handling time: I do my best to mail packages out the day after I get payment. If I receive payment before 9:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time (U.S.) I will have it in the mail the next day, except for Sunday because U.S. Post Offices are not open on Sunday.

U.S. Shipping: I use First Class (up to 13 oz) and Priority mail after that. Books ship media mail. I only charge actual postage - no added fees. I combine multiple items won by the same person the same week and charge actual postage.  I use lots of bubble wrap and peanuts and good boxes. In a group of multiple pieces each item is wrapped individually.  When there is an original box or other original paper item I put that into a plastic bag in case you get delivery on a rainy day.

International Shipping: I gladly ship international. I prefer to use Priority International mail because it is trackable. All Priority Packages are fully guaranteed.  First Class International is available, but there is no tracking on First Class International packages. Also, please note that there can be lengthy delays at Customs. Per eBay rules, import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges -- these charges are the buyer's responsibility.  

Return Policy:  Returns are accepted within 30 days, so long as item is returned in the condition that it was in when it was sold. If the item was misrepresented I will refund the postage both ways. If the item was not misrepresented, I will refund the purchase price only -- not the shipping paid to get it to you, or for you to return it. I use a loupe to examine the toys while I'm listing them, and I try and mention the significant condition issues that I can see. I value my eBay reputation and I am not knowingly going to put out false or misleading info on a toy -- if I'm wrong about a fact about the toy I'll refund your money.

I leave feedback, so please do the same. If there is any problem with the item, contact me first, before leaving feedback, and we’ll work it out.
