Today I will be offering my usual vintage advertising, documents, letters, stamps, photos, stereoviews, postcards, and other ephemera. I frequent local auctions and estate sales up and down the east coast where I pick up lots of fun old stuff and list almost all of it on Ebay. Check my other auctions for more early ephemera. All items guaranteed to be vintage and original.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: This is a vintage 1876 trade card from Thomas F. Pierce & Co., Boots & Shoes, 19 - 25 Arcade, Providence, Rhode Island. Pictured on the front of the card is the Agricultural Hall at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Various other local advertisers on the back. All items guaranteed vintage and authentic - no reproductions or reprints. See my other auctions for more vintage ephemera and other fun old stuff!
CONDITION: May have been trimmed, but still in excellent condition. Complete and intact, no creases, rips, stains, or other damage.
US SHIPPING OPTIONS: Shipping with a semi-rigid holder in the US via USPS First Class envelope - $1.00.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. Please wait for MY invoice before sending payment! International shipping in a standard business envelope $2.00. NOTICE!! International packages valued at $100.00 or more will REQUIRE Priority Mail, insured, which will be expensive - around $45.00. Please wait for my invoice before sending payment. NOTICE!! I use Ebay shipping labels. It's the only way I can prove to Ebay that I shipped a package to the proper address if ever there's a dispute. Unfortunately, those labels will always have customs information - including the actual price of the merchandise - clearly printed on them. I realize that customs fees are a concern in the UK and other countries, but you'll just have to figure that into your cost when placing bids.
TO ALL BUYERS: If there's a problem, contact me. I'm easy to work with. I may goof things up once in a while, but I've always been able to work out any problems. All items guaranteed to be AS DESCRIBED. Check my feedbacks. Buyer must notify seller within 48 hours if not satisfied with purchase. I will occasionally sell an item in poor condition AS IS with No Returns. Any AS IS sale will will be clearly indicated as such.
