Description
**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Explore this vintage Nor-West 'Four Historic Locomotives' Hobby Kit No. 606:398, measuring 13 x 8 1/2 x 2 inches. Although the set is incomplete, missing one crucial model, the original box remains present, albeit with significant wear, including tears, tape repairs, and scuffs. Inside, you'll find three unbuilt model kits: 'Cabbage Stack', 'The General', and 'Hand Car', all sealed in plastic bags. The instruction sheet for the 'Hand Car and Work Trailer' is included, although it shows signs of age with yellowing and creasing. Additionally, four vials, likely intended for glue or paint, are present but sadly contain dried-up contents. This nostalgic kit from Northwestern Products Co., a renowned name in plastic modeling, is ideal for collectors of vintage O gauge train models and hobby enthusiasts. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of modeling 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!
