About Me:
Like most, I picked up the collecting bug many years ago when I was younger rummaging through the nooks and crannies of my grandparent's summer house in upstate New York. Today, you can still see me doing the same thing, only I don't fit through much of those spots anymore but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the thrill of the hunt. I
am an avid enthusiast for all things unusual, one-of-a-kind, and historical, with a specific focus on militaria and other remarkable, eccentric, antique oddities. Since I know you have the same eclectic tastes as I do because your reading this, please checkout my other items section as I always have new unusual stuff coming in!
Buyer Satisfaction:
It is my believe that the condition of an item is subjective, so I encourage you to look over each photo for your own condition assessment and when needed, inquire about additional photos or information regarding any of my items. As with any vintage item, there is expected to be some general signs of use and wear; if there is no mention that an item is New or Mint, you should expect this to be the case. Since this item is "as-is" and although I do not offer returns, please feel free to contact me regarding any questions or concerns. I try my best to accurately
photograph and describe each item to the best of my ability, but I am sure there are things that you as the buyer would like to see, so please let me know how I can help!
