VINTAGE BORDONS ELSIE TIN - DRYED MILK CONTAINER - 1967

Description

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VINTAGE BORDONS DRY MILK TIN.  IT MEASURES APP. 9" TALL AND HAS A PAPER LABEL.  THE LABEL APPEARS TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION, BUT, IS SOMEWHAT WRINKLED.  I DONT KNOW WHETHER IT WAS PUT ON LIKE THAT OR MAYBE GOT WET AT SOME POINT AND DRYED THAT WAY.  IT DOES HAVE SOME RUSTING ON THE LID AND ON THE BOTTOM, BUT, DOESNT APPEAR TO HAVE RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH ANYWHERE.   I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE, AS THE LID IS ON TIGHT, AND I DIDNT WANT TO POSSIBLY DAMAGE IT TRYING TO GET IT OFF.   ON THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF THE LABEL IT HAS THE DATE OF 1967.
** NOTICE **** NOTICE ** --NO RETURNS/NO REFUNDS - I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS, NOR GIVE REFUNDS. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, SO PLEASE READ THE DISCRIPTION CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE PICS CAREFULLY. IF YOU STILL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK BEFORE BIDDING. ALSO, I WILL GLADLY SEND MORE PICS IF REQUESTED, BUT, I WILL NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. I DO GIVE SHIPPING DISCOUNTS FOR MULTIPLE BUYS, DEPENDING ON THE ITEMS AND HOW MANY. ALSO, IF YOU ARE FROM OTHER THAN THE U.S. YOU NEED TO EMAIL ME YOUR LOCATION SO I MAY RECALCULATE YOUR S&H. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE. I EXPECT PAYMENT OR ARRANGEMENT OF PAYMENT WITHIN THREE DAYS OF END OF AUCTIONI DO SOME INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, BUT, BECAUSE OF THE WAY EBAY HAS IT SET UP, I CANT INCLUDE IT IN EACH AUCTION. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS ITME,SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. ALSO, DUE TO EBAYS NEW REGULATIONS, OUR SHIPPING FEES ARE BEING CONTROLLED, AT LEAST ON SOME ITEMS. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO RAISE MY INITIAL PRICE TO COMPENSATE FOR S&H. I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT, I DO TRY TO PACK MY ITEMS SAFELY AND THAT MEANS A BIGGER BOX SOMETIMES, WHICH WILL CAUSE SHIPPING TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER. BUT, TELLING ME I CAN ONLY CHARGE A CERTAIN AMOUNT FOR MY ITEM MEANS I EITHER HAVE TO TACK IT TO THE INITIAL COST OF THE ITEM OR BE CARELESS ON HOW IT IS PACKED.
**NOTICE** -- **IMPORTANT** BECAUSE EBAY HAS REMOVED THE OPTION TO INSURE ITEMS, YOU MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE PAYING IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN ITEM TO BE INSURED. I NORMALLY SHIP MY ITEMS ONCE A WEEK, SO DEPENDING ON WHEN YOUR ITEM WENT OUT AND WHEN YOU PAID AS TO WHEN IT WILL GET SHIPPED. AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SOMETIMES DELIVERYS MAY BE DELAYED DUE TO THE POST OFFICE, NOT ME. SO, PLEASE BE PATIENT AND WAIT A DECENT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE ENQUIRING ABOUT IT. ALSO, REMEMBER ANY ITEMS OUT OF THE U.S.A WILL TAKE LONGER TO ARRIVE. ANY PRESUMED LOST IN THE MAIL ITEMS MUST WAIT AT LEAST 21 DAYS TO PUT IN A CLAIM. (POST OFFICE RULES, NOT MINE) AND IT WILL BE UP TO YOU TO PUT IN THE CLAIM, I WILL GLADLY SEND YOU THE INSURANCE COPY. SORRY, THERE IS NO WAY TO CLAIM ON INTERNATIONAL LOST ITEMS. MY SHIPPING AND HANDLING PROCESS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PURCHASE THE BOXES AND PACKING MATERIAL. THIS IS WHY THEY CALL IT HANDLING. SO IF THE SHIPPING COST IS LESS ON THE PACKAGE, YOU MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE HANDLING. AND YES I DO REUSE SOMETIMES. I AM A FIRM BELIEVER IN RECYCLING AND I HATE TO WASTE.
****NOTICE**** APPARENTLY SOME PEOPLE ARE HIGHLY OFFENDED RECEIVING ITEMS THAT MAY HAVE A SMOKE ODOR, BUT DONT HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE SMOKERS THAT SELL ON EBAY, NOR DO THEY HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO ASK. IF, I WAS BOTHERED SO MUCH BY IT, I WOULD SURELY ASK, ESPECIALLY WITH CERTAIN ITEMS. SO, LET ME SAY IT NOW. I DO SMOKE, SO IF THIS OFFENDS YOU, PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU BID, EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN ELIMINATE THE ODOR IN MOST ITEMS. YOUR CHOICE.
