If you have questions, please ask before bidding. Please Note: This is a vintage item. Vintage means that the item is from a previous era and has most likely been used or worn by a prior owner. Buyers should expect that this item will likely show some signs of use or wear unless noted as "unused" in the CONDITION section below. ITEM: Antique sepia toned photograph of a deformed hydrocephalus young man in a wheelchair with his family on the porch of their home. The young man appears to be well cared for and loved by his caretakers WHEN MADE: Late 1800s SIZE: The photo measures approximately 7" x 5" and is mounted on a 10" x 8" card CONDITION: Free of rips, tears or bends with some light discoloration from age. Please note that any light spots in the pictures are from my lighting and not actually on this piece. Please see photos for condition. DESCRIPTION: The back of the card is marked Wm Scoles, Orvay Scoles, Grandma Lizzie Melizza. This is a very unusual photo of a young man with Hydrocephalus. He looks like he may be in his early 20s and the photo shows he was loved and well cared for with home care, which was unusual for the time.

PLEASE NOTE: We insure packages through the shipping company used (i.e. UPS or the US Postal Service). WE ARE NOT THE INSURER AND DO NOT REFUND MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER FOR ITEMS DAMAGED DURING SHIPMENT. The shipping company (UPS, USPS, etc) will pay you once the claim is processed as the shipping company is the insurer. We will initiate the claim process and will require your assistance and help in processing the claim with the insurer. We package very carefully and will help you expedite the claims process so you can get your insurance payment quicker, should your item be damaged. If you are not comfortable with this policy, please do not bid on our items. Please note that the USPS First Class rate is now divided into 4 tiers depending on the type and dimensions of the packaging used. You can review 1st Class Rates by going to the USPS website. As a result of the new excessive shipping rates for dimensional weight changes with Priority Mail, we will only offer Priority rates per customer request after the auction ends on items when we expect the package size to exceed 12x12x12. We apologize for the delay in providing this option but we are finding that Priority rates are often 2 to 3 times higher than UPS or USPS Parcel Post rates for the same size of package... read more
