FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL
Original 1920s-1930s b&w snapshot photo showing 5 men surrounding a small railroad engine that has a metal plate on the front of it saying "------eer Company" [Pioneer Company?], Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
According to an alert ebayer, "
The locomotive was manufactured by the H.K. Porter Co. They made light duty locomotives used in the logging and mining industries from 1868 to 1950."
Photo measures 5 x 7 inches. Nothing on the verso.
As of 5 March 2021 I could find NO OTHER for sale on ebay.
(Starting 18 March 2020 - though I'm social distancing myself and have absolutely no symptoms - I will rub [until dry] a fresh dollop of rubbing alcohol into my hands immediately before picking your items from my shelves and packing them - and again when I mail them).
Very good; a short 1/4 inch marginal tear near top of left side but ONLY IN THE MARGIN; sharp focus on the central theme of the photo
. . . . . . . .
Remember that the
Abraham Lincoln Penny
is not attached to the item. It is put on the scanner bed merely to protect the uniqueness or near uniqueness of an image so that the high bidder gets an item that has not been copied via someone's computer. The penny DOES NOT hide any faults or any damage!

(the fine print ... [sigh] ... but please read :-)
WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
NO EXCEPTIONS.
FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
I ship AT LEAST twice a week (and OCCASIONALLY 3 times per week) so turnover time or handling time is 3
business
days (Mon-Fri)
max
- often less than that.
PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT.
Thanks!
Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
NOT
FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
