A Most Unusual, Small 18th C. Chest  (in all likelihood Pennsylvania) Painted in a Bold Salmon with Wavy Black BrushstrokesA six-board chest with applied lid and base moldings.  The moldings are both decorative and functional theyhelp to stabilize the wood, such as preventing the lid from warping.  The lid is fastened with cold-rolled fishtail strap hinges, seen with frequency on  18th century pieces.  The joint construction is shiplapped, a construction often used in place of dovetailing in 18th C American pieces. (photo #6)  The Paint is original, a strong salmon milk base with black freestyle brush strokes.  The salmon base coat is seen on the back of the chest (photo # 10) for those areas that were not exposed were not decorated.The back of the lid has shrunk a 1/4 of an inch with time (photo #9) however, the hinges were not affected becauseof the position of the nails.  The chest never had a till box nor feet.  The top has two small missing pieces of wood (Photo #8) the front has two small holes(one causing a small splinter-photo#5) where the lock was removed from the inside of the box.  These condition details are noted for accuracy.   The box is in excellent condition having clearly been well cared for over the years. A wonderful early paint decoration small chest.           (20.5 w x 11.75 d x 10.75h.)We fully guarantee the piece as described!  Please email with any questions, more photos are available upon request.

Handmade Wrought Iron Coat HooksOne of the best parts of my job is meeting the amazing people out there making simple wares in the style of years past. I ran across this guy who is a knife maker by trade that wanted to hone his blacksmithing skills and chose a simple coat hook to practice on. I must say this man has some real talent, while they are all hand made and definitely not identical they will look great individually or in a group. They measure 4″ long, the hook will stick out about 2″ from the wall. We have several, each bid gets you one hook, buy one or buy them all.We asked him not to coat them so they can rust naturally, if you do not desire that look you will need to coat or paint them. Each bid gets you one hook, buy one or buy them all. We always combine shipping to save you money, so shop til you drop. We’re happy to combine your items to save you money on shipping. Just send us a request for total when done shopping. We accept all forms of payment through PayPal. Once payment is received, your item will be shipped from our smoke-free home the following business day.International Buyers – Please Note:Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

*** OVER 13,875+ POSITIVE FEEDBACKS (11,535+ UNIQUE) ***By EBAY’s ratings 100% Positive.(Only 2 Negatives in 12 years, one apologized in his comments, the other left a neg before the Post Office said it would be to them while their package was enroute. YES, it was shipped in a timely manner!) Back when we last could count repeat buyers, (the changed feedback does not allow that anymore.) we had OVER 4,103 REPEAT CUSTOMERS!!!(They must know something.)(Maybe they have fun here.)SO YOU CAN BIDWITH CONFIDENCE!!Please note: We put up a very ecclectic collectionof items and are not experts in every area,so descriptions are our best guess as to what something is.While we try to research each item to the best of our ability,it is the buyer’s responsibility to know what they are buying.TERMS OF SERVICEEBAY is ALL we do for a living, husband and wife (Norb & Marie) working together, while we home school our kids on our farmette in Rural Delmarva. We have worked very hard to build our little business and it is very important to us. We try and do business the old fashioned way and have a rather simple outlook.Treat all of your customers as if they are family.Be courteous, answer emails, be fair in all your deallings and try and make friends of each and every customer.BUT… with eBay’s new star rating and the rate increases in the U.S. Postal rates we needed to define and explain our methods of business. ONE – Who We Deal WithWe sell and ship world wide to anywhere, so please email us for a quote to wherever you happen to be. TWO – Shipping ChargesWe charge shipping based on the USPS system, we will sometimes ship via courier if we can get it to you within the same time frame or faster. We add a reasonable cost for materials, normally that is $2.00 for regular sized packages. For small flat items $1.00. That covers the expense of boxes, envelopes, bubble wrap, peanuts, (We only use new packing materials, life is too short to scrounge through dumpsters). For larger items that take a larger more expensive box, we charge a little more, to cover the special box, example paintings or lamps. For oversized items or items that will take special attention to package, (Build a crate, wrap a zillion things individually, etc.), we ask you to email us for a quote on shipping prior to the auction ending. If you do not, we charge the same amount as if you did. In other words WE NEVER GOUGE SHIPPING COSTS!! TWO POINT ONE – International ShippingWe charge shipping based on the USPS international system. The rates follow the same guidelines as number two above, though for international customers we add an additional $1.00 to cover the extra paperwork involved in international shipping. If an amount goes over $50 in value we will only ship it with Priority or Express Mail, regardless how small an item. That allows for us to have international tracking. There is no tracking available on First Class Mail. TWO POINT TWO – InsuranceWe require insurance on any item that goes over $27.00 in value. Because eBay does not have a way of kicking in insurance when it reaches a certain level, we have to put down that insurance is required on all purchases. This is reflected in the shipping quoted. (eBay’s calculator adds insurance into what you see on the site.) BUT… if an item ends under $27.00 we change the invoice insurance area to “Optional” and leave the choice up to you. We reserve the right to use the insurance carrier of our choice. Sometimes that is Postal or the Carrier’s Insurance and sometimes that is a private insurance company such as DSI or U-PIC. If we use a private insurance company the package will not be marked insured, but it will be.

THREE – Methods of Payment AcceptedWe abide by eBay’s rules and try and stay abreast of their changes. We accept Paypal. We also take Credit Cards Directly over the phone, (MC, VISA, DISCOVER) For American Express, you must use Paypal. Bottom line, whatever method is most convenient for you. FOUR – Time Frame To PayWe ask all auctions to be paid for in the fastest possible time frame. (This is all we do for a living and we need the money to pay the bills and buy more unique and fun items to put up on eBay) FIVE – Shipping Time FrameWe make every effort to ship in a timely manner. We are home schooling the boys, listing tons of items, and as like any of us are just plain swamped, so we have to schedule a special time to pack and ship. We ship on a first paid, first shipped basis. (We do not ship any item until it has been paid and the funds have cleared.) With the ebb and flow of payments we manage to get everything out of the door within one week. If there is a rush, we will make every effort to work with you in getting it out of the door faster. As you can see from our feedback, we do not disappoint. OF COURSE, items that need special attention, crating, etc adds to the time frame of those items. SIX – CommunicationPlease feel free to contact us at anytime, with any question or comment. Unless we are out of town we make an effort to answer all emails as quickly as possible. We PREFER PAYPAL!! We accept MC, Visa, and Discover via phone or dual e-mail or via PAYPAL!!TO PAY WITH AMEX (American Express) PLEASE GO TO PAYPAL, THEY WILL TAKE IT FOR US!YES, BUYER PAYS SHIPPING DESPITE WHAT EBAY’S PAGE SAYS BENEATH THIS DESCRIPTION.We estimate shipping weight & packaging materialsand e-mail winning bidder shipping costs at auction end.We package well, as our feedback attests.We use NEW boxes and shipping materials, bubbles, peanuts & envelopes.To get an estimate to your zipcode, e-mail us for a quote BEFORE the auction is over.Please Click to See Our Other Auctions.One last note: Thank you!!
