THIS FIVE (5) DAY AUCTION IS FOR A FINE PAIR OF ANTIQUE HEINTZ ART METAL SHOP STERLING ON BRONZE ARTS & CRAFTS BOOKENDS WITH STYLIZED ART NOUVEAU CATTAILS IN GREAT CONDITION Otto Heintz established the Heintz Art Metal Shop in 1906, after taking over the Arts and Crafts Company in Buffalo, New York, in 1903. It remained in business until 1930. They produced ashtrays and smoking sets, bookends, bowls, boxes, vases, desk sets, and trophies. They were best-known for their Arts & Crafts pieces made of bronze, brass, and copper with Art Nouveau sterling silver overlay designs. Their mark was a pattern number- these "Cattails" are "7082", over a diamond with the letters "HAMS" superimposed inside, above the words "STERLING ON BRONZE", over the patent date, in this case "PAT.AUG.27.12". Each cattail bookend measures: Height- 5 1/8"; Width- 5 1/2"; Depth (of base)- 4". Their condition is very good, no bent or damaged parts, only normal wear and an aged patina that includes the usual tarnish that accompanies their almost 100 years of age. They have the original well-worn red felt on the base, partly loose along the edges from use over those years, but still intact. These distinctive Arts & Crafts bookends would make an attractive addition to your vintage book collection, and enhance the decorative inclinations of those who appreciate the early 1900's design that included Stickley, Roycroft, and others in the craft guilds movement. Thank you for your interest and bid with confidence. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR PHOTOS EXCEPTIONS THAT APPLY TO THIS AUCTION: +PAYPAY ONLY. +NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. +CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES BIDDERS ONLY. +ADDITIONAL HANDLING FEE: $0.65- DELIVER CONFIRMATION: Although eBay doesn't include Delivery Confirmation in their Shipping calculations, we REQUIRE it with Priority Mail to insure a safe and smooth transaction for both parties. And it's cheap insurance. It is included under "Handling Fee". +TO PROTECT BUYER, INSURANCE IS REQUIRED ON ALL FRAGILE ITEMS AND ITEMS OVER $50.00 FINAL BID VALUE. +We package very professionally and pride ourselves on a record of 100% successful shipments ( See our many satisfied customers' positive feedbacks directly commenting on our shipping). *+Because we don't package items prior to bidding inception, pre-shipment weight used for calculating shipping charges is only an estimate. Because our policy is not to profit from inflated shipping overcharges, the buyer is entitled to a refund of any difference between the estimated and actual shipping charges. In the event of an overcharge, we will either include it in the shipped package, refund via Paypal, or mail a m.o. in the amount of the overcharge, if any. +This new USPS rate increase is impacting all packaging, but we continue to prefer using Priority Mail on all valuable and fragile items. Although more expensive, it is treated preferentially- it's processed first, it ships separate from the bulk and junk mails, and it arrives in 2-3 days. The less time a package is handled in transit, the less likely it is to be damaged. And I can track it thru Delivery Confirmation (required). +This is an 'as is' auction, no refunds, returns, or remorse. Thank you. TERMS & CONDITIONS: To protect and promote the integrity of the eBay experience, and insure a fair, honest, and smooth transaction, buyer and seller mutually agree to the following terms and conditions: PAYMENT METHODS ACCEPTED- +Paypal with a confirmed address. +Winning Bidder must contact seller within forty- eight (48) hours of auction's end by email with contact information: Full Name, Physical Address (Zip Code), and Method of Payment. +Payment must be received within seven (7) days of auction's end. +Seller reserves the right to re-list item, if Buyer fails to respond by email within 10 days of auction's end.
