Original Listing Description

Guaranteed vintage and original !! Condition: Please use the Zoom tool and examine crowns carefully. Crowns may have dings, dents, dimples, discoloration, creases, scuffs, scratches, oxidation, fading, paint loss, paint residue, or other flaws. They could even be misshapen or have a hole, although I try to point out a hole. It is not time-worthy to attempt to describe all the imperfections of a crown. Feel free to ask for additional images, if needed. A salesmen sample is just a regular cap, except the cork was never installed. The caps were handed out to bottlers as samples in an attempt to gain business by the cap manufacturers. These samples are almost always in top condition and heavily sought after by collectors. Corks: The cork-lining in crowns on auction may be intact, partially intact, missing, discolored, stained, fragmented, replaced, or loose. If you are particular about the cork, then ask questions before you bid. Skirts: I don't usually photograph the side(s) of a crown. I usually try to take the time to show a really bad spot, but sometimes time is short, and I overlook it. If it is really important to you on a particular crown, ask for additional images. Reflared: Some crowns I receive in collections and trade stock I've bought have been re-flared. If you are the winning bid on a reflared crown, simply request in the note section of your Paypal payment and I will re-cap your crown on a bottle to eliminate the reflaring, keeping in mind a slight concaveness in the crown could result. Domestic (in the U.S.) S&H is $4.65 no matter how many auctions you win this week IF you wait for a combined invoice and pay on ONE invoice. --To Canada, Ebay does not allow combined shipping invoices on international shipments. I can refund any overpayment, but please let me know what'ss going on so I can get your refund properly processed and avoid buying multiple shipping labels. I will combine S&H on all auctions ending on the same day or same week IF you wait for a combined invoice and pay on ONE invoice. I will combine smaller lots with larger lots at the S&H cost of the larger lot. Shipping Time: FYI: I typically ship in 1 business day, however, I am now advertising my S&H time as 2-5 business days just to give me a buffer for those occasions where I have 250 auctions ending on the same week. I still work full-time, s I'm shipping out that many auctions will take time. Most packages will ship in one business day, while others may ship in possibly more business days. To get a revised invoice with combined S&H, simply contact me through the Contact Buyer messaging system and request a total or request a total in your cart. Then, I will send a new invoice with combined S&H. Or, simply wait while I methodically go through the completed auctions and send you a combined invoice. --If you have any questions about S&H costs or anything else, message me before bidding, please.
