As a seller I do my best to represent the product I am selling. I take numerous pictures and make them as clear as possible. To write a great description with accurate information, I research the item the best I can. With that in mind please remember that these items are vintage or antique which means they are 20 to 100+ years old. They have been around a long time and usually not sitting in a cupboard untouched. Do expect some wear and tear. If you want something brand new right out of a mold then you will need to shop elsewhere. I package very well. Insurance included in shipping.
