We are using the EBay shipping calculator on our listings. We DO combine shipments and ONLY charge the exact shipping cost. If more shipping money is needed, we pay it. After a box is shipped we refund ALL excess shipping money. We do NOT charge for packing supplies, time to pack, time to go to the Post Office, money to cover our EBay and PayPal fees, or anything else. We do NOT charge a “per item fee” if you win more than one auction. All buyers should ask that the postage cost be printed on the shipping label so they know exactly how much the postage cost. PayPal charges a fee for each transaction so if you win more than one item please wait for an invoice from us with the combined shipping total. What is being offered now is a Gibson Glass Bird Bath Paperweight in a nice bright carnival slag red, pink, and white glass color. This paperweight had the pedestal, the bath and the bird put on and formed one at a time. There was a lot of work put into making this piece. The pictures describe it much better than I can. It is marked on the bottom with Gibson. The paperweight stands about 5 inches tall and weighs about 2 pounds. This beautiful piece of glass has no cracks or chips, the shiny places are reflected lighting.I worked at Boyd Crystal Art Glass in Cambridge for a number of years. I was employed there from about 1979 to 1987. For those of you that came to the Boyd Glass factory in that time period, I was the tall, thin, moustache faced, 20-something year old that worked in the factory. If you took the "tour", I was probably the employee that explained the glass process to you while you watched us work. I truly enjoyed my time with the Boyd's. The time I spent at Boyd Glass is a memorable time in my life that I will not forget. I told my wife that the glass I purchased while employed at Boyd's and since then would be sold to help pay for our two daughters college educations and even though they have both graduated, we will be paying off the debt for some time to come and my wife is making sure that I keep to my plan. I will be putting some of the items I purchased up for sale on Ebay. I have a lot of older Boyd pieces, and some of the newer ones. I will be putting them on as I unpack them from the boxes I stored them in, or take them off the shelves in our home, find them at sales or get them at the Boyd factory. They will not be in any particular order. These will all be first quality Boyd Glass, with no cracks or chips, and will make a great addition to any collection. If any of you remember me from Boyd's, please bid on this and help my daughter's college fund. WE DO COMBINE SHIPMENTS. I generally email within 24 hours after the auctions end.
