Antique Small Wooden Religious Statue (I don’t know who is depicted)
Tonight's 20 auctions are titled "Religious Artifacts #12".
The item(s) pictured are the exact item(s) you are .
I will not be offering a "Buy-it-Now" option and there is no reserve price. The auction will proceed to its conclusion.
Specifics:
This auction is for a small all-wood statuette that depicts a religious figure although who is not labelled on the statue.
The size of the statue is shown on the measuring tape.
Condition:
I don't see anything wrong with this item although it is possible that the person used to be holding something in his right hand that is no longer present. It doesn't look like something is missing, but I can't definitively say.
Where do these religious artifacts come from?:
My Great-Uncle George was a Catholic Priest in Chicago from 1923 (ordained) until his death in 1951. He traveled extensively throughout the world on behalf of the Church, had multiple audiences with the Pope and was pastor of Saint Peter and Paul Church on the south side of Chicago. He left an incredible assortment of religious and non-religious artifacts to his brother, my Grandfather, who stored them in a very large closet where they sat until recently. All of the items that contain this paragraph as part of the listing are obviously older than 1951.
It is now my responsibility to auction these items on ebay.
They are in the exact condition as they were when they were removed from the storage box.
I will do my best to accurately describe each item and answer questions although I am not an expert on antique religious artifacts.
/Handling Fees:
USA Destinations
is FREE to all USA destinations.
International Destinations
A flat rate of $25 S&H fee applies to this item. Additional items will incur a charge of $15 per item. Depending on the size/weight/final selling price, I may use USPS First Class International or USPS Priority International. I am not responsible for VAT or for any national laws that require the package be opened and inspected before you receive them.
Above fees assume items won within a single night's auction and a single payment. Multiple items will likely ship in a single box.
Additional Note:
Occasionally winning bidders will disappear and never pay for the item they have won during an auction. From now on I will list those unpaid items, at the winning bid price, as a Fixed-Price-Listing (Buy-It-Now) for 30 days after the cancellation of the original auction. It normally takes about 8-10 days after the original auction’s end to formally cancel the auction. These items will appear in a list of “Seller’s current items”. These listings will be identical to the original listings except they will not be an auction and will last for 30 days (vs. a standard 7-day auction). There will be no particular day or time of the day when these items will appear. The “Fixed-Price Listing” will exist until someone buys the item or 30 days have passed.

I prefer Paypal. If it is necessary to use another form of payment, please contact me before bidding so that we can reach an agreement.
I expect either payment or an email explaining the delay within 4 days of the end of the auction. After 4 days, if I have not received communication, the computer will automatically open an unpaid-bidder case.
I will use a combination of USPS First-Class, USPS Priority and USPS Priority Flat-Rate depending on size/weight and destination. At times, I may also use UPS. If the winning bid (or box for multiple items) is over $100 I will be providing insurance.
I use only new boxes and if the item is breakable it will be wrapped in bubblewrap and then placed in a bed of peanuts.
If an item does arrive damaged, please contact me and save the item and shipping container.
I will accept returns within 14 days. Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
I’m part of a process to clean out a very large house that my family has lived in since the 1940s. My responsibilities are conducting the ebay auctions.
II will be creating auctions on Wednesday nights with 5-20 items per night. Auction nights will tend to focus on a specific category of items (see categories below).
I am not an on-line retailer or a consignment seller. All of the items are owned by my family and come from a single house. My goal is to move stuff out as quickly and painlessly as possible even if I have to sacrifice higher prices.
The current categories I am using to organize things are as follows:.
Antiques
Belleek
Books (signed, first editions, rare, old)/Newspapers/Magazines
Collector Plates
Disney Memorabilia
Camera/Photography (old, vintage, antique)
China – Le Mieux
Germany – SOLD OUT
Great Britain/United Kingdom – SOLD OUT
Horses (statues, etc.) – SOLD OUT
Hummel Figurines
Madonna (Virgin Mary) Statues
Marshall Field’s Collectibles
Misc. Statues
Royal Doulton – SOLD OUT
Royal Worcester – SOLD OUT
Religious Artifacts, Relics and Antiques
Silverware
Toys/Sports
Vintage Electric trains (Lionel, American Flyer) – SOLD OUT
Vintage Fishing/Hunting Equipment
Waterford
Wood Statues (hand-carved vintage) – SOLD OUT
World War II
Note: I’m holding on to the coin/currency collections … at least for now. The antique furniture and artwork are being moved outside of ebay, so it’s not my responsibility.
When a category is sold out it will be designated above.
All items are original and authentic. No copies or replicas (unless specifically noted).
And Finally
I will do my best to describe items as accurately as possible and point out and try to photograph any flaws. If you feel I have incorrectly described something or missed a flaw, I will gladly take the item back. From you I ask that you decide that you really want the item being auctioned before you bid rather than once it is in your hands. If you have or would like additional information, please email me through ebay. If you find yourself not being able to bid because of my shipping restrictions, email me and perhaps we can work something out.
Also, if you are going to throw me a curveball I ask that you let me know ahead of time so that we can discuss it. Bidding from Phoenix and then asking me to ship it to Bangladesh is a curveball. I expect bids locations and shipping locations to match. Please let me know if this is not the case before bidding so that we can discuss it. Also, if you won’t be paying for a while, please let me know.
I promise to work honestly with you. I would appreciate the same courtesy.
Feel free to contact me through ebay for or clarifications. I’m usually pretty quick on responses.
