Description
This offering is for a matched pair of German, pre 1887, porcelain sugar/powdered sugar shakers with a large S in the mold on the lid. The lid is actually a part of the whole piece, not a separate item, only the cork is separate. I have not been able to confirm that the middle letter in the shield on the base is a "O". The condition is excellent on both. There are 3 separate transfers per piece, all in excellent condition. I am dating these prior to 1887, which was when all items had to be stamped "Made in Germany". Only Germany is in the shield on the base.
Please read if shipping International
We are always delighted to pack several items in to 1 larger package to save on shipping for our customers. In most cases the cost of shipping 2 or 3 items is just slightly more than just 1. Please feel free to ask any question(s) you may have. We do our best to try and ship the first business morning following payment.. If there is any problem you may have when the item arrives, please contact me first, so I can have a chance to solve the issue. If for some reason you feel you need to return an item, contact us PRIOR to contacting eBay, whatever the problem is we can work it out, eBay does not provide any help in this matter, I have recently discovered.
Shipping international: All import fees are the responsibility of the buyer, not the seller. We are willing to ship beyond U.S.A. borders. We use USPS International First Class and Priority where there is the possibility of tracking the package. If the package does not arrive within the USPS time frame, we may provide a refund. If the package is received after a refund has been sent, we ask that you contact us, so I can then send you a invoice for payment. Unless there is damage, which images must be provided, then we will work with you. The buyer will be responsible for letting me know prior to payment or right after in the notes section, best would be before you receive my invoice. Any item that is over $50.00 no matter what it is, will be sent Priority International, due to the loss of items that have disappeared. We have shipped using some briar pipes with USPS Priority Padded Flat Rat Envelop with success. If the item is over $100.00 a signature will be required as well. This is due to the losses we have had from either the USPS or the postal service in the receiving nation. If the buyer contacts us prior to the ending of the listing, perhaps we can work something else out, otherwise, that is how it stands, much to our regrets. We prefer to not use eBays Global Shipping Program, takes much longer to receive and cost nearly identical to USPS. Please do not request this program, if so, we will cancel the transaction.
On a final point, if you have managed to get this far with my boring but necessary terms, EBAY
is great and what makes it so good is the 99.9% of people who do business based on trust and honor.
This is my commitment to you
