ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Up for sale is a very unique and highly decorative desk accessory dating to the 1950's or possibly earlier. Although unmarked, I believe the piece is Italian made due to it's high quality construction and design aesthetic. It is 8 1/2" long x 6" wide and is constructed from chartreuse padded leather. Mounted on top is a very detailed victorian style hand with ruffled cuff which acts like a clamper to hold paper or letters. Attached is a long leather covered non functioning pen with chain. The piece has some light age wear to the leather, but overall it is in good condition. The ink appears to be out on the pen and I can't figure out how to open it to replace, but I'm sure it can be done. It weighs 432 grams and is a quality made piece.
***Please note that my camera is cobalt blue and often makes polished surfaces look dark due to the reflection on the metal surface.***
SHIPPING:
First class shipping, insurance, and handling in the US is $10. I am happy to ship multiple auction wins in the same package at the actual cost plus insurance. International shipping is through ebay’s global shipping program.
I try my best to wrap all items securely, and to ship in a timely fashion. Once the item is wrapped, a shipping label is created, and the tracking number is provided on ebay. I personally have my packages scanned by the post office before they obtain possession. Please refrain from asking for tracking information or for photos of the wrapping process as all of these requests delay the progress in shipping your item and others.
Please note that first class shipping often takes longer than priority shipping. If you require an upgrade to priority, please let me know before paying. I’m happy to upgrade shipping at the actual cost to the buyer.
TAX:
Current tax laws have changed and ebay automatically charges tax on purchases in most US states. Please check your state laws and ebay to know if tax is charged on your purchase. Tax concerns are strictly between the buyer and ebay as I do not collect or receive funds for taxes collected. All items ship from Dallas, TX.
PAYMENT:
All payments should be received within 3 days of auction close. An unpaid item dispute automatically starts after 3 business days. If you are bidding on auctions that end on differerent days, I do request payment for the items that have sold. I will gladly set those items aside and combine shipment.
BUY IT NOW/MAKE OFFER OPTIONS:
I always consider FAIR offers on any item that has a “make offer” option. This does not mean that I accept offers on items that are in a current auction!
