Crystal clear and very heavy old glass paperweight, 4” x 2 ½” and 7/8” deep, with rounded corners and recessed base with the original surface. In black inside, “Illinois Life Insurance Co. Chicago / Greatest / Illinois / Company / Wants Good Men / And / Will Pay Them Well.” Evidently no women need apply. Sharp-lined paperweight with strong contrast and telling unintentional  message. Mint condition.

*Feel free to ignore any Item Specific that seems especially silly, irrelevant, inappropriate, or redundant. eBay frequently adds things without consulting the seller, and which I don’t always catch. Expecting help from eBay Categories? Good luck.

I always ship the business day after I receive payment.

Buyer pays actual postage; there is no handling fee, and I pay for all packing materials. By clicking on “Shipping and Payments,” you can check the postage before you bid.

Printed material containing advertising – even old, obsolete advertising – cannot be sent Media Mail.

An item may be returned if it is substantially different from how I have described it. I will pay return postage.

USPS has changed the names of their traditional service. There are only 2 things we need to know: 1) Rates went up again in July and 2) First Class and Retail Ground (now called Ground Advantage) now include insurance up to $100.00.  Like Priority, Ground Advantage postage varies with distance. I ship from Arizona.

Because of the new rates, and because it now includes insurance, I am going to use Ground Advantage for everything. Sometimes it’s a little slower, but the bottom line is it’s cheaper, sometimes considerably.

I will contact the winner immediately after the auction (unless you have already paid) and again when I ship the item, to let you know it’s on the way.

Thank you for looking, and for wading through the fine print.
