This auction is for a vintage cold painted Vienna Bronze figure of a cat with a bow around her neck, sitting and reading a sheet of music painted on a sheet of tin. There are small slots in the hands of the cat and the music sheet slides into them. I think that in the picture I have the music sheet upside down. There is a small bit of solder on the sheet music where it was probably attached to the cats hand. The cat is about 2.5 inches tall. The sheet of music is 1.5 x 1 inches in size. There are no makers marks on the cat. In the last picture, for size comparison, I show her with an Elastolin photographer - he's about 3.5 inches to the top of his camera, and is not included in this auction. Please see my other auctions for more vintage toys, Vienna Bronzes, Heyde animal figures, Marklin cannons, and out of print books and price guides about vintage 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 four 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 16 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.
