Only the item/items in the title of the listings are being sold Notice Regarding Vintage Items: I specialize in vintage items that are usually 50+ years old. It is important that you examine this item carefully before bidding. I welcome all the questions. While I try hard to get my description accurate, you must look at the pictures and remember that vintage is NOT new or mint. Unless otherwise stated, items WILL have age related wear. These are usually items that are no longer manufactured or available by retail. I buy at estate auctions, yard sales, and antique stores, and I surface clean most but not all of my items. I try to describe my items the best I can. There is no intentional misleading information in my listings, but there may be a mistake or something missed occasionally due to human error. I do not smoke, however the previous owner(s) might have. If you buy or collect vintage, you must know that the items come from an era when the vast majority of Americans did smoke. Most of my customers want items in their authentic condition, which shows wear and proves age, so I leave any deep cleaning to the buyer's discretion. My items are sold in "as is" condition. I try to highlight any flaws over and above normal wear and tear, but again, you must look at the pictures and please feel free to ask question
