My items are used: vintage, some are antique, and not brand new. Most come from my own collections, estate or yard sales, charity shops and the like. They may show minor age related wear and/or minor flaws consistent with the date of manufacture (please be sure to check photos carefully as they are part of the description). While I do my best to describe any imperfections, I am not an expert. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
