We photograph, describe and send the article to the best of our knowledge and belief. Detailed photos give a good information about the condition of an object.
Nevertheless, we can not rule out color deviations due to different screen settings (calibration of the monitor).
Since we sell vintage items, they usually have a story - ie traces of use, minor defects or may be incomplete - but to highlight the charm of these pieces, we set ourselves the task! Exciting, funny, curious, forgotten, but also simply decorative, beautiful articles are our passion.
We utilize used wrapping and padding material for our packaging, but never dirty or broken boxes.

Thank you for your interest in our article! Have a very nice day!
