DESCRIPTION .2 vintage Chinese silver miniature figurines; designed as a rickshaw with running driver, and a sailboat with fine detailing. Many of these were made for export to the West and Europe since the 18th and 19th century. Hard to say how old these 2pieces are. Not marked. Measuring over 2 inches long; boat is 2.5 inches high. In very good condition; no damage, flaws, or losses. These pieces have not been polished or tampered with. Weight unpacked is 20 grams. Part of a large lot of vintage collectible decorative pieces I acquired from a Chicago estate last fall; that I am listing this week. DOWN To EARTH Bidders YOUR SATISFACTION is a prime motivation and concern for me. I am very proud of my 100% positive rating and will do everything in my power to assure you a great experience in my DTE store. At the moment, I list new items weekly in these categories: vintage sterling silver and gold jewelry, vintage and antique estate jewelry; small antique ceramic and metalware collectibles; new Asian sterling silver jewelry; and a few of my own new Down To Earth designed jewelry. If you have any requests, questions or concerns please contact me, I will respond promptly. All About SHIPPING I charge the actual shipping cost, which is $6.00 (for USA) for this item, and no handling. NO surprises ! I ship WORLWIDE from Canada. I use the internet to prepare, pay for, and print all my postage forms. I can tell you exactly what your cost will be. I do my best to ship securely with the lightest weight, thus reducing your shipping cost. In the same vein, I do combine items for even greater savings, it's possible the combined shipping amount will remain the same; depending on the weight of the 2nd piece. Canadians, please give me your postal code, so that I can tell you the cost of the various options you have. Choices would be: Airmail without insurance, Airmail with insurance, and Expedited Service; with insurance, signature and tracking number. PLEASE NOTE: THE INSURED POSTAGE COST WILL BE HIGHER THAN THE QUOTED AMOUNT FOR THE USA DESTINATIONS. THAT'S LIFE IN CANADA EH! If you are not in Canada, your country's customs may delay your parcel from a few days to several weeks (it happens about 5% of the time). Please keep that in mind if you are in a rush. I will usually ship jewelry items within 2 business days of payment. Once shipping is done; I contact my buyers to confirm that their parcels is on it's way. RETURN & REFUND POLICY I DO accept returns for a FULL refund, if merchandise is damaged in transit or not 'as described'. I also accept returns for whatever reason; for a refund of the total transaction price, minus shipping paid. Items must be returned within 7 days of receipt. All my parcels are declared and insured for the full value (cost included in my shipping quotes). PAYMENT I now accept payment with PAYPAL only. I find that the great majority of buyers pay with Paypal anyway, and the few that would rather pay by cheque or a money order, are very slow in getting this done... if at all. If this is inconvenient and you are a serious bidder with good standing, talk to me. PRICES & LISTINGS If you wish a ' buy it now' on an item, I am sorry but this is not possible, I would shortchange myself by doing this for you. Rarely, I will use a reserve on the more expensive pieces, to protect my investment. My prices start at $9.50 and up; I am very serious about my ongoing business, and make sure that what you are bidding on is well worth that and more. Thank you and GOOD Luck! I DO SHIP WORLWIDE, SEE BOTTOM OF LISTING FOR DETAILS DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. read more
