Description: Antique Lindenwood College for Women 1927 Centennial Celebration Brass Bookends St Charles MO. 100 year anniversary. Now known as Lindenwood University. Inverted L, arch shaped, brass bookends with applied decoration. Measure approximately 5 1/2" tall, 5" wide and 3 1/2" deep. Applied decorative plaque has the school crest (Griffin). Also decorated with medallions containing the identified busts of Major George C. Sibley and Mrs. Mary Easton Sibley. Between the busts in a rectangular cartouche is the legend: Centennial Celebration 1827-1927. Another rectangular cartouche bears the legend: Lindenwood College, St Charles MO. The plaques are further decorated with foliage. Structurally in Excellent condition. Minor surface wear to high points of bas-relief. Patina and surface corrosion are uneven. Careful examination suggests that the bookends will respond to buff polishing. No pitting found. I do not polishing any metal other than silver. See other items JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM NOTES I try hard to have all silver hand polished before shipping. Most will have been polished before the photos were taken. Sometimes I miss. I do not polish any other metals. All books may have a penciled or erased price on the 1st end page. I do try to so note. But, again, sometimes I miss. SHIPPING DISCOUNTS Always happy to combine multiple purchases if physically and safely possible. SHIPPING --CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES eBay's shipping and fees policies have required the addition of a Shipping & Handling fee -- minimum $1.00. The S&H fees will include Tracking on all packages, subject to USPS rules. For all purchases $49.99 and over, all James Avery, and all breakables, the S&H fee will also include USPS or eBay Sponsored Insurance fees for the 'Estimated Closing Price'. Current Priority Mail rules give automatic, free insurance for some Priority Mail packages. If your package qualifies I will refund any S&H fees I charged for insurance. Because of "Estimated Closing Price" and the all too frequent 'wild hair' that is eBay -- eBay's shipping calculator and actual shipping and handling costs ofttimes vary. I send out invoices thru the eBay system ASAP (usually within 24 hours) and will correct shipping charges on those invoices. If you wish to avoid a potential slight overcharge, please, wait for my invoice. I cannot be responsible for uninsured items once they are delivered to the Post Office. Items will generally ship within one day, but at most, two working days of cleared payment (i.e. a payment received on Thursday may not ship until Monday). I will email if there is some reason for delay. I do send email confirmations of shipment.SHIPPING AND DETAILS -- OVERSEAS I do not ship anywhere in Africa. Assume that I will not ship to any country in political turmoil. You can see the list in the Shipping Details section. Buyers outside the USA must have: » at least 20 feedback ratings with 100% positive for a period that exceeds 3 months. PayPal required for overseas transactions. A minimum $2.00 handling fee is charged on overseas transactions to cover additional paperwork and packaging costs. This fee will be assessed only once in the case of multiple purchases. Overseas Priority and Express Mail have an inherent insurance based on weight and additional insurance can be purchased. This is also true for the larger Flat Rate boxes. First Class Mail International and Priority Mail Small Box Flat Rate do not include insurance and NO additional insurance can be purchased. Responsibility for an uninsured package will transfer to the buyer at the time I deliver the package to the Post Office. Customs declarations will be the price you paid. Items will ship within two working days of cleared payment (i.e. a payment received on Thursday may not ship until Monday).PAYMENT DETAILS An eBay system invoice will be sent within 24 hours of the close of sale. Payment is expected within 5 days. Write me if there is a problem. Cash or business checks are accepted for local pickup items. Texas residents must present a valid resale number or pay 8.25% sales tax. Again, just drop me an email and I'll adjust the invoice. RETURNS & GUARANTEES All items guaranteed to be as represented. However, I am an antique dealer who deals in old, used items. Unless I call it NEW it isn't, and will probably show signs of age or wear. I will describe anything that I consider to be more than normal wear. Returns must be preauthorized (send me an email or call), otherwise, no refunds will be made. Returns must be shipped within 3 days of receipt of authorization with item in original condition. Insurance required if the original package was insured. Tracking required on all returns. Any refund issued will be for full purchase price only. No shipping charges refunded. FEEDBACK I leave feedback after successful completion of the sale. I determine that the sale has been successfully completed when I receive your feedback. AND FINALLY Seller reserves the right to cancel sale and relist item if: 1) payment has not been received within 5 days of receipt of invoice, or2) overseas buyer is from a country on my exclusion list or excluded above. Thanks for looking and good luck.
