Shipping and returns
USPS shipping is calculated for your address. We allow up to seven business days for handling so buyers can combine eligible purchases. If you'd like your item sooner, message us and we'll ship within three business days of cleared payment and your request.
For eligible purchases within our seven day combine window, please request a combined total before paying. Choose Request combined shipping in your cart, or message us through eBay if that option isn't available. Payment is still due by the deadlines shown by eBay.
We'll check whether the purchases are eligible and can be packed safely together. If so, we'll manually calculate combined USPS domestic shipping and send you an invoice to pay.
For purchases through eBay International Shipping, we send the package to eBay's U.S. hub and eBay handles the international delivery and customs. That program doesn't combine auction orders, so those purchases ship separately.
Returns are not accepted. Please message us through eBay if your package is lost or there's a problem with your order.

About my grandparents, Ellie and Bill Barkby
My grandparents had a train shop called B and E Junction in New Oxford, Pennsylvania. They had customers from all over the world, with mail orders as well as people coming into the shop. I used to go in and help as a kid. At least, I thought I was helping.
My grandmother, Ellie, loved her dolls. I remember going along with her to doll club when I was knee high to a grasshopper. When I stayed overnight at my grandparents' house, I slept on a pullout couch in her doll room. It felt like thousands of doll eyes were watching me all night. That room was a little creepy.
My grandfather, Bill, loved his trains just as much. They built an addition onto their house for a stock room, and I remember helping him pack trains. I remember three different homes over the years, and every one had a train layout in the basement.
After the shop closed, Bill and a good friend started Nostalgia Miniatures. As I remember it, they made miniature street clocks that towns could sell as a fundraiser to pay for a full size street clock. The town could get its clock without the cost coming out of tax money. I always thought that was one of the coolest ideas.
These collections were a big part of their lives, and a big part of my childhood. That's the family behind this estate sale.
