Below are rare and unique items from my
Personal Collection.
I
am not a reseller
, these items are from my PERSONAL collection
from my many years of collecting. I'm looking for a new home since I collect everything and some items just need to find a new home that will cherish the items like I did, I will pack these items, ship them to you as if I was purchasing them myself, the best packing, you can count on that.
Most of my listings are a one of a kind set. Most items are very rare. What's included in this eBay posting:
Very old and not in the best condition When I purchased it 40 years ago, I was told as early as 1870 to 1890. A lot of the paint of the Apostles is flaking awa, glazing was not the best, flaking and slight chipping. The previous owner tried to clean the pewter lid and didn't do such a great job. This is a very old stein. If you want a Creussen Apostle stein with age and character, this is the piece. No chips or cracks but there appears to be an old line repair on the inside and a lot of flaking It's just over 6 inches tall to top of thumblift. Original quality pewter lid. This antique stein shows it's age, but a great original painting.
Again, these items are from my
Personal Collection
and all items are from a smoke free environment. I have been a collector of historical, fun, and unique items that I have picked up in my travels, antique markets & shows, and events over the course of many decades. I do not pretend to be an expert in any one area but have tried to describe and photograph the item(s) to the best of my ability. If the description or images do not satisfy your questions please reach out to me to get a clearer understanding of the item(s) or package. Please note: The images/pictures also note the condition if not specifically called out in the write up. I am
very detailed in my listings
concerning condition, but sometimes my eyes miss something. I have been a member of eBay for about 20 years and have always strive to be upfront, clear and honest on all my listings (no negative feedback going back to 1999). Please also check-out my other listings that are diverse but may be related to what you are viewing.
Note: I only ship an average of two times a week, so I am thanking you in advance for your patience. You can rest assured I will pack the items with the utmost care since again,
I am NOT a reseller,
these are my personal items that I cherished and are happy they will be finding a new home and will be appreciated as much as I appreciated them.
Important note:
The listed shipping price/cost includes the cost of actual shipping,
insurance
and packing materials. The cost for shipping
and
their insurance has gotten just crazy, I have no control over these costs. I am sorry, but the Postal system has just gone crazy with their rates.  Again, thank you for looking and don't forget to check out my other items for sale. Thank you again!
