PROVENANCE: THE STRONG NATIONAL MUSEUM, sale to benefit the collections fund. EACH PIECE FROM THIS SALE I WILL BE LEAVING THE MUSEUM NUMBER ON. I WILL LET YOU DECIDE WHETHER YOU WANT  TO KEEP IT OR REMOVE IT, MOST PEOPLE LIKE THE NUMBERS TO REMAIN. THE CONDITION IS WONDERFUL AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, I GOT SOME NICE UP CLOSE SHOTS FOR YOU. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MARKS BUT VERY HARD TO READ, I THINK IT'S GERMAN AND I KNOW ITS SILVER, BUT NOT SURE OF THE AMOUNT.  IT TESTS CLOSE TO STERLING. SORRY TO NOT KNOW FOR SURE.  REGARDLESS, THIS IS ONE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL COLLECTOR'S PIECE, AND I KNOW YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!  THE CONDITION IS VERY NICE, IT OPENS AND SHUTS PERFECTLY AND TIGHT...AND JUST NORMAL AGING / MINOR WEAR.  PER AUCTION HOUSE IT'S 19TH CENTURY. PROBABLY 4TH QUARTER.

Bye for now, Margie
Please read very important!
All my items are from Maine; I will not be listing anything NEW. All items will be vintage and/or antique.  But, I promise that YOU will love anything you buy from me!  I’m very picky as to what I list and each piece will be in the best possible condition I could find.  However
, please note, I SOMETIMES list “lots” with “as found” items.  I hate to see the end of some really neat items, so I’ll list them in hopes that somebody can repurpose it/them somehow, someway
. Most of the items will be anywhere from 50 – 150 years old, so please expect normal aging, and anything other than normal wear from age I will point out.  My return policy is easy…. if I missed something please return it…I will gladly refund your purchase price and depending on why you’re returning it, half (to all) of the return shipping costs.  It’s really important to me that you have a great experience with buying an item from me,
if you’re not happy, please let me try to work it out before you give negative feedback.
My goal is that you become a HAPPY  buyer as I am sure that I will be listing something you’ll want again
