Listing Descriptions A large quantity of time is spent researching items using books, online tools, and through field experts. Descriptions are made as accurate as possible. Some vintage and antique items are rare or hard to find and there may not be much information available. If you find that an item has been listed with information that may not be accurate, please feel free to contact me. Listing Photos All photos within each listing are taken by me personally, unless specified within the item description. There are a variety of styles of photos that have been taken. I am continuously finding ways to improve the quality of photos for customers to have the best view or ideas for usage. As with many photos, colors may not be exact, but I try to ensure the lighting provides as true to color as possible. Packaging Recycled materials will be used to package all items. Boxes may be new through USPS or if USPS does not offer a certain sized box to fit your item, a recycled box will be used. Some recycled boxes may be turned inside out. Recycled boxes may have been previously used for food, pets, and other items. At times, boxes may be reconstructed due to no availability of a certain sized box. Recycled newspaper, tissue paper, pieces of cardboard, plastic air bag packing, plastic bags, paper bags, and other items may be used in packaging items. Shipping/Delivery I take great care in packaging each item. USPS is the source of shipping used due to the reliability, insurance, and tracking services offered.
