Please note I make every effort to ensure all of my items are antique or vintage & are not modern reproductions. Therefore, they have been previously used so they won't be perfect & may have minor signs of wear. However, I will mention any defects or significant wear as honest as I can plus any description I provide is a statement of opinion only. I don't fully clean my items, as I believe this is a choice customers should have as many prefer items in their original state. If paying by Cheque / Bankers Draft in UK please make payable to K.
