I have four of these wonderful turn of the century flat milk glass shades listed - all are different sizes - all are old and rare! These were attached by the use of a brass fitter to a socket for the early Edison bulbs - they provide handsome hanging lighting that works both in restorations of victorian homes and are clean enough to be amazing in a mid-century designed home! These were found packed away in the basement of an old Valley Estate in Los Angeles. Anyway...enough babble - you guys know what you need so lets get to it...you are bidding on:EARLY 1900's FLAT MILK GLASS SHADEMeasures: 6.75" across bottom - Outer Opening Fitter Rim measures 2.25" - inner opening is 1.75"Condition - Excellent! Typical very very minor chipping around fitter ring - beautiful snow white opalescent old milk glass (yup-has edge fire) has straw marks and fine wrinkles as early glass is supposed to - no cracks or shade chips. A fantastic small shade - not that easy to find! See our other auctions for three more in different sizes as found in an old valley estate. If you purchase more than one of the items we have for auction - we are happy to combine for shipping savings! Anyway - I hope between the description and photos your questions are answered - feel free to call or email me with any questions you may have. Thank you for looking and Good Luck! Open to all US Bidders - International ONLY to Europe, the UK, Japan, Canada, and Australia...yeah yeah....New Zealand is ok too. :-) NO RESERVE - have fun bidding! OH SO GRUMPY SOUNDING TERMS OF AUCTION ( are the rules...we gotta have em...even though some don't bother to read this)1. Payment is only accepted in two forms via mail...checks or money orders/cashier checks - please, please do not mail cash! I will not be responsible for cash if lost in the mail. I have not lost a payment like this yet - but it scares me to know that someone will toss several hundred dollars in a envelope and mail it! More faith than I have! :-) We reserve the right to hold mailed payments for ten business days in order for them to clear the bank - this is on the advice of CITIBANK. 2. Pay Pal is accepted. Please don't be a bum and try to screw us on Pay Pal....we ship verified addresses only, with delivery confirmation, and via Pay Pal's directions and guidelines. If your address IS NOT VERIFIED - we will return your payment and you will have to pay us the old fashioned way - via mail with all the holds.3. SHIPPING IS APPROXIMATELY 10-14 DAYS FROM AUCTION END TO YOUR PACKAGE ARRIVING. We will usually ship the following Friday a week after the auction ends - I will do it sooner if I can. Reason? Simple...gives time for everyone to pay and we only go to the post office once a week. If we receive your payment via Pay Pal you will ship in the first round...and ten business days after we receive your payment via mail - this does not mean you pay via Pay Pal Thursday night at 8 pm and expect shipment the next day. We reserve the right to use alternative shippers. Your auction may state Priority Mail - but it may be shipped UPS. You will not be charged any additional fees if we do this. We are a business and we will ship ASAP - but within reason! We pack very well - you will not receive your item tossed in a flimsy recycled box with poor packing - I bubble wrap and use peanuts when needed - I want your item to arrive in perfect condition - and that takes time as well. Please respect the time involved as I respect you as a client and ensure that your item arrives safely and well packed. Besides - Imagine if you had to pack fifty boxes, address, input postage, and get to the post office! It ain't pretty....trust us! :-) 4. Large Item Delivery/Pick-up Terms: You may pick up your item at the shop in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles and pay cash or credit card. Large items are pick-up only or you may arrange delivery with a third party like PLYCON - we will assist...but we do not crate or such. You will prepay all freight and crating direct... read more
