Due to eBay New Policies I need to place any thing you may question “Terms & Info:” in the top half of the auction/store sites, with bullets, WoW! So you will find the full description of the item much farther down the page, in BOLD. Just above the many pictures.

• Terms and Info: ASK QUESTIONS Before you Bid. Refunds granted only when t is a GROSS error in my description. You must respond within 3 days of receiving item and ship it back in 7 days. Buyer pays shipping. Items are Sold, AS FOUND. I do not even like cleaning them up, I am afraid that I may do it wrong.

• I will combine items won to save on shipping and handling fees. I am not responsible for lost/damage during shipping. Buyer is responsible for paying return shipping. I find that eBay postal calculator is sometimes off, especially on large items and international. If overpayment of shipping fees occurs, anything over $1.00 will be refunded, quickly, through PayPal.

• Handling fee is already calculated into postal quote above. Normal handling time TWO Days with fee at $3 for US and $4 for Internationals, much less for small items and with variables on quantity, size that adjusts the handling fee higher.

On a personal note. Due to a back injury, I try my best to ship items out Monday, Wednesday and Friday, excluding holidays, that throws the days off. So that USPS employees can help me unload. I can not have them pick up since I have very bad doggies.

• High Bidder pays through PayPal, in US funds. New York Residents MUST add 8.00% sales tax or supply tax exempt number with payment. Only other method of payment is Cash with/at arranged local Pick-up.

International Buyers – Please Note:

• Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

• Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

• These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

• We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.”

FYI: We have some Great deal for you. Purchased from recent Estate Sales and Auctions. You can save on gas, shop at home and have it shipped to your door. And w else, can you get more than a one liner for a description. Possibly more photos than you care to look at. Some, even being a puzzle, you have to figure it out.

we are offering a WONDERFUL, Teardrop shaped Printed Celluloid Letter Opener with Advertising that reads "Simonds Mfg. Co. Fitchburg Mass and Chicago Il . Saws & Machine Knives". Printing is only on one side. I found that this Company was founded in 1832 by Abel Simonds (1804-1874) maker of Scythes. He retired and his sons took over the business. In 1879 they sold off its reaper & mower business and started producing Saws & Machine Knives. In 1892 they opened a factory in Chicago . The steel mill operation moved from Chicago to Lockport NY in 1911, Factories closed in 1926. So this was used as advertising sometime between 1892-1911, when printed Celluloid was quite popular. It is in GREAT condition for its age and use. It has NO cracks, has normal aged patina/discolor. T is some carving at tip. The tip must have worn smooth from use and was carved a bit by a previous owner, to sharpen. That was a silly thing to do, good that he did not get too carried away. Measures approx. 5 ¼" long by 1 3/8” wide.

Any information, questions or request are always welcomed. I have a number of pictures , Please be patient while they load. PLEASE WAIT FOR YOUR INVOICE before paying . I do offer Priority, Parcel Post, First Class and Media shipping, check rate and options at auction site under "Other Services" in top, center of page.
