**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Up for auction is a rare Vintage Sportco's Super Castor Oil Lubricator Bottle, measuring 4 1/2 x 2 x 2 inches. This vintage collectible is a must-have for model engine hobbyists and enthusiasts of aviation, cars, and boats. The bottle, which still contains 4 FL. OZ. of product, features a distinctive paper label with some age-related discoloration, a yellow price sticker, and a fascinating story behind its production before the introduction of ZIP Codes in 1963. The product inside has separated, showcasing sediment at the bottom, which adds an air of authenticity to collectors on the hunt for original, unopened examples. Although the black metal screw-on cap shows minor surface wear, this piece remains a unique find in good overall condition considering its age. Don't miss your chance to own this piece of model engine history!
Checkout & Payment:
After the auction you can checkout two ways: Pay the invoice via Live Auctioneers/Proxibid or pay via the Lodestar Auctions website. Credit card fees apply both ways. 2.9% & $0.30 (4.4% & $0.30 international) through Lodestar Auctions and 4-5% through Live Auctioneers/Proxibid . Lodestar Auctions collects 7% sales tax for Illinois residents only. Live Auctioneers/Proxibid collects sales tax for most states. Check with them for sales rates for your state. Any unpaid items will be automatically charged by Live Auctioneers/Proxibid three days after end of auction. At checkout pay for the item only, shipping will be billed later. See below for shipping options to choose at checkout.
Shipping:
Pick up and buyer arranged shipping is always welcome. We offer in-house shipping for items that can ship through common carrier. All items will be professionally packed at a reasonable rate. If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.
**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
Issues:
All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.
Thanks for your patronage and happy bidding!
