Vintage Germany Poster Stamp: "HATEXA" Hanover Textile Exhibition, City Hall 1929 

• The 1929 Textile Exhibition in Hanover was a regional trade fair showcasing textile production and handicrafts, known today mainly through surviving poster stamps issued for the event.
• Hanover has a long history of hosting major industrial and textile exhibitions. Hanover’s textile exhibitions of the 1920s were predecessors to the city’s later role as a major European textile‑industry hub.

Features:

• Displays of regional textile production, including weaving, dyeing, and finishing.
• Exhibits from local manufacturers and guilds, especially handicrafts and decorative textiles.
• Demonstrations of new machinery or techniques, though on a smaller scale than later ITMA events.
• The location was the Hanover City Hall, also used for the 1927 edition

Revenue and Cinderella stamp collections often have stamps that have damage or faults created by the use of the stamps such as cut cancels, tears, punch holes, missing perfs, short perfs or thins.  Stamps originally on a document or a cover may also have been folded, cancelled, or placed on the edge of a document, and show some indication of surface abrasion.  Many of these stamps may also have been affixed to an album page and were soaked in water to remove a hinge remnant or remove paper backing or adhesion and will be without gum. Please take this into consideration when bidding.  I strive to accurately describe all items.  Please ask questions if you need more information on condition

We ship anywhere in the world!

Can I combine my orders? Yes, we can combine winning stamp auctions into one shipment at no additional shipping charge!  Albums, books and accessories can be combined to lower the overall shipping cost but please wait to be invoiced with the correct shipping costs. Always request an invoice if you are ordering more than one lot of books or accessories. That gives the seller a chance to lower your combined shipping cost. Please understand, that ebay and Paypal sellers fees are charged on the entire order INCLUDING shipping and neither ebay nor Paypal refund any sellers fees even if the seller gives a partial refund later. As a result, we don't refund overpaid shipping charges unless it is a larger amount. Even then, a 20% chargeback is applied to shipping overcharges if you paid for the order without requesting an invoice.

Outside North America, Tracking is available with Priority Worldwide, Xpresspost and Tracked Packet or via DHL (expensive). All services would have to be individually quoted.  If there is a particular service you prefer, please use the ebay message system to request which service, and we can discuss whether that option will work, and be cost effective for you.Shipping item/s over $100 in value must have “Canada Post tracking". International:  There will be NO tracking unless one of the above options chosen, and you will be at risk, for non receipt, if the item is not received. We can no longer take the risk, when we clearly sent the item.If you pay for the items before you are invoiced for the service: If you pay/paid for your item/s before you’re invoiced, you will receive a message, plus a Paypal invoice requesting the difference in the postage costs. Your item will be marked ‘shipped’, and held onto until the difference has been paid. Not to delay the process of your item/s, we request that you communicate with us right away, informing which prefer, REGISTERED/NON REGISTERED. 

Please note, that dwainwri can no longer be responsible for non-receipt of high value items. For our buyers to be protected under the “ebay Buyer Protection Program”, we only ship to the address in your profile. It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm correct shipping address upon checkout. If you would like your item sent to a different shipping address, it’s your responsibility to provide that information upon checkout within ebay. Do not send an additional note within payment to request an alternative address; this will delay the process of your order. We will refund you, and request that you update the correct shipping address upon checking out a second time.

What’s taking so long? I haven’t received my item? We kindly ask our buyers to allow up 30 days for delivery of an order. Some of our Domestic buyers have been experiencing longer delays than usual, due to the closures of sorting stations across the country. Mail had been redirected for sorting in some areas, causing the long and unusual delays. When leaving feedback on shipping times, we ask kindly that you refrain from scoring us low. Please be aware that we have no control over the processing times once shipments have left our office. Arrival times vary greatly depending on the country, processing times of those countries, and in some countries, the weather. We can only track an item, if the shipment was sent with a tracking number. 

International: Customs taxes are the responsibility of the buyer, NEVER the seller!

How soon after making a payment do you process my order? Orders paid over the weekend will be mailed no later than Mondays by 4pm. Any auctions won from Monday to Thursday, are processed daily, time permitting. All orders will be processed in the order that payment was received.

If I'm not satisfied with my order, can I return my item for a refund? We offer 100% satisfaction. We often process over 100+ listings weekly. Due to the amount of listings, we do our best to describe our listings to the fullest. We inspect our lots, but at times it can be difficult to inspect every single stamp, sheet, and first day cover in detail. In lieu of inspection, we provide as many detailed photos for your viewing. If you receive an item that you’re not satisfied with, we will be happy to have the item returned to us within 14 days of receiving items as it was sent to you. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, and refunds are processed upon inspecting and receiving the item. If you want to return the item, please contact us directly through the ebay message system.
