  • Item must be returned within: 30 Days

  • Condition: eBay requests a condition description be attached to every listing -- New or Used. I describe my vintage paper goods as USED to satisfy that requirement. Most all of my items are actually UNUSED, that is, NOS (new old stock) or never used. They are USED only in the sense that they have left the custody of the original owner/manufacturer and are now in the vintage merchandise market. If an item is actually USED, such as a cancelled postcard or letterhead with writing, I will note that in my description inside the listing. I include dates when available to give buyers an understanding of the age of the item. NO reproductions or recent, contemporary new prints unless clearly noted.
