Vintage Copper Finish Metal Dog Nutcracker + Ladies Legs This lot is for a vintage copper finish metal dog nutcracker, a great collectable item of kitchenalia probably dating to the early 20th century. Lift his tail and his mouth opens to reveal grooved jaws that are bound to crack the hardest of nuts. This is offered together with a set of Ladies Legs brass nutcrackers. Both items are in good working order and will appeal to a collector, or to anyone who loves vintage kitchenalia. Dimensions: Dog: 22 cms long Legs: 12 cms long I'll leave the pics to describe this best. Please note any other items displayed are not included, but to give an idea of scale. As with all my listings, this is a vintage item and as such does come with some evidence of age. If you are looking for pristine condition, then this might not be for you. I do try to give an accurate description of the condition, as I hope my feedback testifies, but this is always relative. I would urge you, therefore, where possible to arrange a viewing by prior appointment to satisfy yourself prior to bidding. Do bear in mind that Ebay final prices often reflect the fact that an item is being bought sight unseen and, there is, therefore, an element of risk , which is why it is always preferable to buy from a Reputable Seller like ourselves, with a long-established 100% Positive Feedback Rating. That said, the end price is likely to be much lower than you would pay in an antique shop where the cost of overheads is built in to the retail price. And for those who prefer not to have to wait till the end of an auction, only to be outbid, I am offering this at a sensible Buy It Now price to sell. So, no need to wait till the last minute. This will sell to the first who Please do this early to avoid disappointment. Thank you for looking. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO TO READ THE PAYMENT & SHIPPING TERMS BELOW. Would the successful bidder please make contact via email or phone within 24 hours of the auction close to notify me of their intentions regarding payment & collection/delivery. My contact details will be noted on the invoice sent upon auction close. Would International Bidders please note that payment from overseas can only be accepted via Pay Pal. UK TRANSACTIONS: 1. Personal Cheque: I allow 5 working days' clearance of cheques from banking, so please bear this in mind if you require your item quickly. As we are in a village, it is not always possible to bank cheques on the day of receipt. You might want to consider an alternative method, if so. Would you please make cheques payable to J. Willis - not Owl Cottage Collectables. 2. Pay Pal: If you wish to pay by Debit or Credit Card it is easy to do so via Pay Pal. It is the Seller who is charged for this service and while we do not pass this cost on to the customer, we would appreciate prompt payment via Pay Pal. It can take up to 5 days for a Pay Pal payment to be transferred to our bank account - so if you delay payment by Pay Pal, this delays our reimbursement costs to that extent + the extra 5 days! 3.Please email for arrangements if you are planning to collect personally. Please note that our courier's driver is not authorised to accept cash on our behalf, representing, as they do, a separate company. We will notify you upon close of the transaction if we are able to offer personal delivery, in which case an alternative method of payment might be possible. Please email in advance to ensure this is possible. NON-PAYMENT Unfortunately, I have now had my fair share of non-paying bidders so I regretfully have to point out that a Payment Reminder will be sent automatically after 3 days via Ebay. After 4 days a Non-Paying Bidder dispute will be opened in compliance with Ebay's Unpaid Items Policy, and if no satisfactory response is received within 4 days of that, the item will be re-offered. There should be no necessity for it to get to this stage, if the buyer emails or phones to say there was a good ... read more
