As with most antiques, it is inevitable there could be some minor flaws that might not be detectable. The photographs form part of the description. 

The battery is there for size comparison only. It has nothing to do with the item.  

I am happy to combine postage. Please let me know you will continue to bid for other items, and I will combine postage for you and give you the most favourable rate. Combining postage does have higher risks of breakage. 

Return is accepted within 30 days of purchase. Return postage to be paid by buyer. 

'Most of my collection is one of a kind. I bought the items because I liked it for myself. They were never intended to be resold. Each item has a story and when possible, I hand carried them in my luggage from all over the world to bring back to 

Australia. Some of the items have travelled a long way away and some of the items has been with me for more than 50 years. 

I am now retired and need to downsize. I will not be able to buy a similar item again and not able to sell it at the same price. If you buy an item from me, it most likely is the only one, I have. Not only you are buying an item you are also buying 50 years of experience. Thank you for bidding. 

I would like to thank my customers for their positive and encouraging feedbacks I received over the years. They are my credentials that money cannot buy. Your friendship and your support are very much appreciated and valued.  

I have a five-day postal policy. However, if I am able to send your items earlier, I will.
