This is a very rare and exquisite piece! This item sells in high end antique stores for anywhere from $400-$900. My reserve is well below the lowest sale price as I want this piece to go to a collector who will enjoy it. It is a lovely antique, Edwardian, circa 1906 miniature sterling silver novelty pin cushion in the form of a tiny duck. It has the mark of Sampson Mordan & Co. The British sterling mark is visible along with the mark for Chester and the date for 1906. This little duck is in excellent condition with no damage whatsoever. It was very tarnished when I found it. I did polish it, but it could use just a little more. The tiny velvet pin cushion is still intact and is a beautiful, deep purple with no velvet loss. The cushion even still has 2 tiny silver pins stuck into it! The detail of this tiny piece is truly remarkable and I can see why they are highly sought after! The duck measures only 3/4\" tall (at the tallest point) and 1 2/8\" long and weighs 5 grams. This item is so tiny, it would be wonderful as an accessory for an antique French Fashion or Lady doll as well! If you would like additional photos or information, please let me know.Thanks for stopping by!All of my items are stored in a smoke and pet free Environment.Terms of SalePlease ask questions before offerding. I guarantee my items to be 100% authentic and as described or your money back, no questions asked. I accept returns for any reason, but return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Items must be returned in the same condition in which they were received, carefully re-packaged, and insured (if item is over $50.00 USD).Items shipped within the United Statesmust be sent back within 14 days after receipt of item (within 25 days if shipped internationally). No partial refunds!!! You are either happy with the item, or you are not. Item must be returned for any kind of refund.
Payment
Payment is expected within 4 days of sale end (when paying via Paypal), per guidelines. That is 4 actual days, not business days. I will make exceptions to this, but if you need to pay later than 4 days, then you must contact me BEFORE offerDING to make arrangements. I expect payment to be made when promised. If the agreed late payment is not paid on the expected date, a non-paying buyer report will be filed. No arrangements for late payment will be made after the sale ends. If payment is made by e-check, then I will not ship the item until after the e-check clears. Again, if no payment is received within 4 days after sale end (unless prior arrangements are made), then a non-paying buyer report will be automatically generated by \'s system. I absolutely will accept other forms of payment. Please contact me for alternate payment options.
buyer Requirements
Any buyer with less than a 10 positive response rating should contact me before offerding. I reserve the right to cancel offers from those with less than \"10\" response rating, or those with excessive negative response (received or left for others), or whose response is \"private\".
Shipping
Items are usually shipped within 1 business day, but sometimes if I have a large sale it may take me 2 business days. All items will have the tracking number automatically uploaded when I print the shipping label. I charge actual shipping. If the amount charged on your invoice turns out to be more than the actual cost, I will reimburse any overage. I always pay to insure any items that sell for over $50.00. I do not charge my customers for insurance. On rare occasions, I will charge a small handling fee. This is usually done when an item is very large and requires a large, expensive box and lots of packing material. Any item selling for $250.00 USD or more will be sent with signature confirmation, no exceptions (due to \'s new policy for sellers). I do combine shipping. If you win 2 or more items, please wait to pay until I send you a combined shipping invoice. This will save you money. I cannot combine shipping for an item once it has been paid for. Sometimes the shipping calculator can be incorrect. If the amount looks too large (or small) please contact me for the correct shipping amount. I only charge exact shipping. I do not charge a handling fee. If shipping is ever overcharged, I always refund the difference.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ!
I now use \'s new Global shipping program for items over $250.00 USD (except for items offered with free shipping). Hopefully this will make shipping easier and less expensive, especially for the higher priced items. Some items, however, are not eligible for the global shipping program. If the item is not eligible, you will get a message to send me a request for your invoice total. Please be aware that if an item selling for $250.00 USD or moreis not eligible for the global shipping program, I must ship with either UPS or FedEx. The reason is due to the price of the item. Any item that sells for $250.00 USD or more, must be shipped with signature confirmation. Tracking alone is no longer sufficient for these items, per guidelines. The United States Postal Service does not provide signature confirmation on international packages. Shipping via UPS or FedEx is VERY expensive. If you wish to know what the shipping costs will be before you offer, please contact me and I will be happy to let you know. Any other items that sell for $35.00-$249.99 USD will be sent via Priority Mail International only (if the item is not eligible for the Global Shipping program). Any items that sell for $34.99 USD or less will be shipped via First Class International if the buyer wishes (again, only if not eligible for the global shipping program).
Any import fees, taxes, duties, or any other types of fees/charges (including additional fees from FedEx or UPS) are the responsibility of the buyer. I cannot alter customs documents!! If you win my item, please be aware you will be paying taxes, duties, fees, etc. on the full purchase price! Thank you.
