Condition
After considering age, with lots that have condition issues beyond what we consider "normal and expected wear and usage", we have tried to point these out in the above general description. We always attempt to point out any flaws or repairs that may affect the value of the lot in question and almost always refrain from using certain positive descriptive language like "all original" or "excellent condition", even though we may sometimes feel that the lot deserves such language. We specifically cannot guarantee the originality or mechanical condition of clocks or mechanical antiques; but again would attempt to point out any obvious mechanical defects that may substantially affect the ultimate value of them. WE DO NOT DO OUR OWN SHIPPING. The arranging and paying for packing and shipping is the buyer's responsibility. We ask that you carefully read the detailed information in the "Terms and Conditions" from the preamble to our sale before bidding.
