DAMAGED GOODS: All items are inspected thoroughly prior to shipping, so any damage other than as described on the web site must be claimed by the buyer against the carrier.
CONDITION: Although I'm very PICKY about condition.... PLEASE UNDERSTAND that I sell "USED" clothing. Very few items will be MINT CONDITION. If you don't appreciate the difference, Please don't buy used clothing. Items are described via the following rating scale:
- NEAR MINT - No problems, as close to "new" as possible for age.
- EXCELLENT - Shows normal wear expected for age, but nothing easily visible.
- VERY GOOD - Shows normal wear expected for age with some minor problems visible, but problems will not detract.
- GOOD - Has some definite visual problems. Structure is intact. Problems could be fixed. These items will be available at discounted rates.
- FAIR - These items will be available at discounted rates, but for the creative, they are still interesting pieces.
I will describe everything in detail as to condition, but these ratings should be helpful.
WHO AM I?
I've been a collector of antique clothing for over 25 years, and I have finally, officially run out of storage space. At this point, I either have to let some pieces from my collection go, or build a larger house (and believe me, it's been a tough choice!). Certain quality items will remain in my collection but I will be featuring some of my extraordinary items in the Museum Collection on this web site.
Over the years, I have dealt with many individuals in this antique clothing hobby, and all have been extraordinarily honest and knowledgeable. I trust that cyberspace will introduce me to similar individuals.
