Please thoroughly read the description and review, zoom and enlarge ALL photographs prior to bidding or buying AND contact me if you have ANY questions about the condition of the item. Most of the items I sell are antique, vintage, or used. This means they have been used. I typically do not sell what I would consider substandard or damaged items, but any item that has been used MAY show signs of use and wear. This is normal. While I do inspect all items that I sell, It would be difficult to describe every minute imperfection in writing. I provide you with sharp, focused, properly exposed photographs to enhance my written description. Therefore, returns are not accepted.
