DARK GREEN LEATHER EFFECT ' LIGHT ' VESTA MATCH CASE / STRIKER FOR TRAVEL DRESSING / VANITY CASE - CONDITION AS PHOTOGRAPHED

This small leather covered metal case is being sold as photographed.  It measures 5.2cm / 2 1/16" wide, 3.2cm / 1 1/4" deep (approx including catch) and 5.1cm / 2" high (approx).  Similar examples, including travel inkwells, are often found in travel vanity / dressing cases.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE EXACTLY IN THE PHOTOS, THIS PIECE IS A DARK GREEN COLOUR ON THE OUTSIDE.

I have included a number of photos and these probably describe the item better than I can and form part of the description. Everyone has different considerations when purchasing items and if you need any further information, please feel free to contact me and I will try to help.  The photos were taken inside in natural light on a fairly dull day, but please be aware that colours will vary according to personal settings.  The ruler and cotton reel are not part of the listing, but there just to give an idea as to size / perspective.  

Condition: This item is in vintage / used condition with surface wear, some lifting / loss of surface covering,  discolouration / staining, scratches / scuffs, knocks, marks and is a little 'grubby' inside. The metal interior has chips / surface covering loss / blistering. I have taken a number of photos which, in addition to forming part of the description, are there to allow potential bidders the opportunity to make their own assessment.

This box is in vintage condition with imperfections commensurate with age / use / storage, so please take time to read the condition description / Seller Notes above, in addition to viewing the images, before bidding. Thank you.

Please feel free to ask any questions but please please ask through Ebay. Unfortunately, selling on Ebay generates a lot of spam and dubious emails and I now only respond to questions placed directly through Ebay. I will try to answer questions as soon as possible, but this will normally be in the evening. There are times where I may not be able to reply within 24 hours but I will reply well before the listing ends.

Postage
I am always happy to combine postage, but please contact me before paying to arrange the most suitable method. Unless I am offering free postage, I tend to charge P&P at cost plus 15-20% to cover packaging materials & other charges ( a little more for smaller items). Items that are under 2kg and fit into a box 45 x 35 x 16cm will be sent by Royal Mail, at a cost of £3.55. Larger or heavier items will be sent by courier. Parcels up to 2kg £4.70, up to 10kg £7.8 ( please note that there are some exceptions to this for large items). If the items have a value of over £25 and up to £100 an additional £2.22 may be added for insurance and signature. There may also be a surcharge for delivery to the Islands and Highlands. I will still happily send an item by any of the Royal Mail services if you prefer (Standard,Confirmed,Special Delivery), so please just let me know and I will provide a quote. If you require a tracking number for the item, please ensure that you pay for a tracked service.

I am always happy for collection in person or for a buyer to arrange their own courier which may be cheaper for the winning bidder. Hermes is preferred for UK collection as we have an exceptionally good delivery man.

International items under 2kg will still be sent via Royal Mail. I will quite happily post most items overseas, but if I have not already been provided international prices, please ask me for postage costs before bidding.

I will not post to the Middle East, South America or Africa. International items sent by courier will require a contact telephone number.

Packing - I pack to ensure the item arrives with you undamaged. If you have specific packing instructions, please contact me before paying as this may have an impact on the price, as both an increase in weight or size can increase the cost of delivery.

I do try to recycle boxes and other materials wherever possible and will sometimes use newspaper for padding out, if it does not have any impact on the cost of postage.
