OMG MAJOR LOT OF ANTIQUE/MOD CHRISTMAS -ENAMEL AND RHINESTONES UP THE WAZOO
You are a vintage lot of Christmas pins. There are some lovely pins in this lot, some may show age appropriate wear, but generally a comprehensive and well cared for collection. Gobs of Enamel and Rhinestones—just the way I like my j00lz ;-D
Signatures get very difficult to read, especially on the "pot metal" pins–which could be as old as the 1930's if my research is right… My best observation yields names such as: New View, Taiiwan, Best?, LJM, JJ, and several Gerrys and ART–which were the easiest to read. Also, 'Camtrix' (which I know is wrong, but these markings get so gooey as they age) I see only a small number of absentee RS's.
There is a pair of Christmas tree earrings with great bling, (1) pendant, and (1) charm bracelet that requires some tlc –the rest are pins/brooches. — Nice lot for the collector.
(45) pieces
ALSO, including Ziplock stuffed full with additional pins, charms, christmas jewelry. i got one of these types of lots once, and I had such fun. On one hand you know what you are getting, so you feel confident, but another big component of this listing is this 'mystery bag'
Final Sale
No Returns
Ask questions before bidding
Additional photos upon request
Payment is anticipated within 72 hours, or a non-payment notice will be auto-generated by website. At this time the lot may be relisted.
I am always open to combined shipping. Its free if it fits, thats why I like to use the flat rate boxes. HOWEVER— EVEN IF YOU ARE BIDDING ON ANOTHER UPCOMMING LOT, I ask that you PAY FOR EACH LOT AS YOU GO, and NOT wait to pay together. If you purchase (2) lots, we can go with a large flat rate box, instead of paying for (2) medium boxes.
I will wrap your items as safely as possible. I have never had an issue with items arriving in disrepair. However it should be noted that though they will be safe, I use largely recycled materials and the items will not be wrapped in ‘gift’ like presentation. Be forewarned, I had a woman complain because I wrapped items “too well” and it took her a long time to open them. To this end, I really try to operate on website in the manner in which I hope my purchases go. If you have special needs, PLEASE ask me to accommodate you accordingly. The amazing Kreskin I am not 😉
All sales are final and as is. Contact me you have before you bid. PLEASE BE CERTAIN YOU WANT THIS LOT BEFORE BIDDING ON IT. Look closely and make sure you read descrption and perhaps more importantly look at pictures. If there is a discrepancy between the two, defer to the photos, chances are good that you know more about the jewelry Im selling than I do. Although as a general policy RETURNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, please DO contact me and await my reply if you have an issue with your order, or before leaving negative feedback and give me a few days to get back to you, as I travel for work.
I start all of my Auctions at low start, usually $0.99 with No Reserve not because I think the items are worth a dollar—but because thats what auctions are all about, and because it allows you, the buyer, to determine the worth of the lot.
All jewelry is previously owned, and will likely need cleaning. Though I do not smoke, my jewelry comes from a variety of sources, so if you are sensitive to smoke, or pets consider it possible that jewelry may have been exposed to either.
I love pretty things. This does not make me a jeweler, or expert by any means. I will describe items to the best of my ability with terminology I’ve largely learned here, and citing and markings I see. I do not test for metals.
Returns are not accepted, most especially because you feel you have paid too much for a lot after a bidding war. I count on the proceeds of these sales to manage my household. I want you to be happy with your purchase. I simply ask that buyers take responsibility for their actions and make sure they want an item before it. And, if you are a nutcase, please dont bid, just save us both the time. Its borderline embarrassing that I have to write this tome for a simple sale, but if I told you about the crazy people that make selling on website exhausting, you would’nt even believe it.
LOVE
