This is a very nice cast iron horse drawn sleigh, with a pretty little passenger! This piece was probably made in the 1970s, a copy of an old Hubley sleigh from the 1800s. It is a very large piece, about 14 inches long! All is in very good condition with original paint as you can see in my photos. Whether it is vintage Hubley or not, it is still a beautiful piece! This comes from a smoke-free home environment. Buyer pays shipping, handling and appropriate insurance fees. This will ship UPS Ground. I am not a cast iron toy man, so I might not be able to answer all your questions. I am more of a toy soldier guy. If you like toy soldiers, you should check out my other listings.
A little about me:
I have dabbled with buying and selling all my life. Early last year I purchased some toy soldiers and started selling them on eBay. The fellow I bought them from said he had a few more that he would like me to sell for him. A few thousand toy soldiers later I got hooked. Now, I am a retired teacher. I am not doing this for a living. I do this for fun and to keep myself busy. That said, my prices are generally lower than most others on eBay. Because of this, I don't have a lot of room to accept low offers. I have priced the majority of my stuff just high enough to cover what I paid for it, eBay's share, shipping supplies and other expenses, and to have enough to pay the IRS! haha!! So, don't be too upset if I do not accept your offer or send you a counter-offer with a brief explanation as to why. I hope you enjoy my stuff, as much as I do learning about them and selling them here on eBay.

Shipping charges. My item pricing takes into account the cost of packing the items safely and securely. I use USPS Priority or UPS Ground. This shipping is faster, tracked and is adequately covered with insurance. I may use USPS Ground Advantage if my original asking price has been reduced through offers or the item is priced less than $25.
Buying multiple items?
If you purchase multiple items from me you will be charged for shipping on every item. After I pack your box and make sure there is appropriate insurance on it, I pay for the shipping and I will reimburse you the "over-payment" you made on shipping. I have to do this because all eBay does is add the weights together. They do not account for a larger box, if needed, or for additional insurance if the value of your items is more than $100.00. I cannot afford to lose money on shipping and I have no intention of making additional money from you for overcharging you on shipping! Thank you for your understanding.
