What're the odds of finding anything marked thusly .....
.
'
Originally claimed by several countries (see "Oregon Country"), the region was divided between the
British Empire and the US in 1846.
When established, the Oregon Territory encompassed an area that included the
current states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, as well as parts of Wyoming and Montana.
The capital of the territory was first Oregon City, then Salem, followed briefly by Corvallis, then back to Salem,
which became the state capital upon Oregon's admission to the Union in 1859.
Thank you.

I am not an expert on anything, So ... QUESTIONS ?

I attempt as accurate description as possible, and include photo/s. Unintended errors and
omissions may occur, so I strongly urge all bidders to examine all here, and email me with any
questions, clarifications, or concerns prior to bidding. I will do my best to answer or clarify asap.
I'm no expert on anything, and determine quality or condition based on my subjective judgment, if
given. Since quality or condition is highly subjective, and since most I offer here may be USED,
OLD or VINTAGE, all items are offered "AS IS" and all sales are final unless I have grossly
misrepresented the item! Don't bid unless you want to own it! I will do my best to work out any
problem, should one arise, before & after auction closes.
Finally, my items and packing materials often are used/recycles, and as such I can not gaurantee
they have never been exposed to dirt, dust, airborne allergens, peanuts, wild women, wild men,
smoke, alcohol, children, ozone, animals, bugs, politicians, petroleum products, or other irritants,
including irritating people.
If any of those things bother you, then please do not bid.
Thanks for your understanding, and Good Luck.
