SOLD $23.50 Sold: May 5, 2025 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Guaranteed vintage. 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.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.Uncorked uncrimped crowns: Some unused crowns of the cork-lined era were never corked as they were pulled from the production line to be used as a salesman's sample. Sales reps handed these out to potential customers, or they could be mounted in a display book to show customers. In other instances, employees would take one or two of a design off the line prior to the cork being installed and take them home for displays or souveniers.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 $4.95 no matter how many auctions you win this week IF you wait for a combined invoice and pay on ONE invoice.I am now using the eBay International Shipping Program on a trial basis. I must ship each order in a separate package. eBay rules do not let me combine orders, so be sure to pay for all your items on ONE INVOICE as that will become an order.I will combine S&H on all auctions ending the 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 2-5 business days, however, I am now advertising my S&H time as 15 business days just to give me a buffer for those occasions where I have 100-200 auctions ending on the same week. I still work full-time so shipping out that many auctions will take me more than five evenings, even working late nights. Some packages will ship in a couple business days, while others may ship in 5, 6 or possibly more business days.**Unless 15 business days has elapsed after payment, PLEASE DON'T CONTACT ME ASKING WHEN I'M GOING TO MAIL YOUR ORDER. It only takes up my time that I could be using packing orders. I don't use drones, or have an army of elves or ship using Amazon Prime. I pack all orders myself with great care. I live in a rural area and I drive nine miles to the post office two or three times a week. If the above shipping program is not satisfactory for you, then please don't bid. To get a revised invoice with combined S&H simply contact me through the Contact Buyer messaging system and request a total. 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 email me before bidding, please. --No returns accepted.I belong to and support the following organizations:CCSI (Crowncap Collectors Society International) member #273 CC.I (Crown Caps Info) member #134APCS (American Pencil Collectors Society) member #2022BCCA NABA ABA Cornhusker ChapterShipped from the home of a non-smoking cat.Thanks for looking and good luck!Bottle cap collecting should be fun!Go Huskers!
