ITEM DESCRIPTION
My Stock Ref: #CL - #T312/17726/q1390-40ty in collective boxes marks #CL.
This is 1 of a number of antiques and collectables that once belonged to a lady from North Yorkshire. She is now deceased and it was only when I bought a number of lots from a live auction I realised it was someone I had once visited to see their collections. I met her many moons ago when she walked into my antique shop, where she bought a few things from me. In the lots of items I bought I did find a couple of things that I had previously sold her, so that was nice. I went for a coffee one day and was amazed at seeing her vast collections all around the house, I soon found out she was a keen metal detectorist too as well as into archaeology. Fossil hunting, rocks and minerals, finding items in the ground, it all runs through a similar theme. She was worldly travelled with artefacts from the Middle East and Africa too. Most of the Roman items have Catterick & Aldborough place names on the coins and artefacts. I have been sorting and listing just a small selection of items from her vast collecting themes and will be listing for a few weeks yet. I have grouped some Roman pottery pieces but many are singular complete items. I am not too familiar with the rock types so apologies if I have had made any mistakes.
All are my ref. code #CL

Postage policies:
International overseas buyers please read this first - I use eBay International Shipping - (EIS) to send items to you. All items I send to their UK shipping hub and they are processed and forwarded onto you.
EIS sorts any paperwork, taxes and tariffs etc. which enables items to get through customs much faster than other delivery companies.
EIS then decide on the cost of shipping, sales tax, and possible other charges etc. - All this information can found on the listing when bidding or buying.
I have no control over the prices that EIS set to you.
The shipping time is usually very quick but as you can appreciate there may be delays for any number of reasons which are out of both mine and your control. Thank you.
14 day REFUND policy with antique and second hand goods. NOT 30 DAYS.
If you see A/F = a/f in the title or description it means "as found" condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. In relation to all my listings it does not mean " about fine ". I have used A/F for " as found " for 50 years.
To be fair to all bidders I do NOT end auctions early, so please do not ask for a buy it now on an auction item.
