Condition:
Very Good/Good (seems like there is little evidence of use/wear, not sure what the interior of the gourd is supposed to look like when it is used)
Note on Sterling/Silver items: Since we are aware that different people like different levels of patina/shine on sterling, we (usually) offer most vintage sterling items in the state they are found.
Only polishing a little to show detail when needed.
PLEASE NOTE: that side(s) not shown may need polishing or entire article may have tarnished since pictures were taken. We leave polishing the item up to the potential buyer.
Please message any questions or information that you may have. Please view my other listings for more Antique, Vintage /Collectible Sterling, Silver and Silver plate. We always recommend that if someone is hoping to use something for a specific event that they check before hand to make sure that there is sufficient time to get the item after the listing ends. I am often called away to work on a moments notice and shipping might be delayed at times by as much as TWO WEEKS.
Due to the nature of Antiques/Collectibles all items are sold as is/as described. All items in usable condition when applicable unless otherwise specified. Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use/wear. Even items that were never used may show signs of age or exposure to time/elements. As a collector I always list the obvious staining/spotting/discoloration and damage/defects to material to the best of my abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect displaying/using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning. Please be very specific in your questions regarding condition.

SHIPPING NOTE: If shipping seems high please contact us for a corrected shipping quote. All items are shipped USPS Priority Mail unless otherwise noted or requested. I gladly ship overseas but items worth over 100.00 will have to go Priority Insured or
First Class Mail International Registered (for tracking purposes). I automatically add insurance to domestic invoices on items valued over 100.00 (which means that you pay for it and it will be added to the handling fee).
