Condition
: Our photos are the most important part of our description so please enlarge them, zoom in on them and carefully examine them. This piece, part of the Chicago estate of a former Princess Pat sales representative, is new-old-stock, but not in mint condition. Very light shelf wear is present. Overall excellent, with far better than typical condition for a 100 year old brass compact. We have made no attempt to clean, polish or otherwise improve its appearance. Very clean, nothing sticky or gross. Bright and shiny, with the color changing depending upon the light. Stable, opens and closes smoothly, and snaps shut tightly.
We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and we'll let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (
or anything else
) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us.
The Fine Print:
We expect payment within 1 day of purchase. If you're waiting for other auctions to end so that you can combine shipping, shoot us a message to let us know.
If you're unable to pay within terms, please reach out with your Plan B. Things happen. Especially these days. So just shoot us a message.
We don't accept buyer-remorse returns but we will grant you the use of our description and photos so that you can re-ebay the item yourself.
Although we don't accept buyer-remorse returns, reach out if you're unhappy with your purchase! If we messed up -- everybody does -- give us a chance to fix it. We promise it was unintentional, and we'll do what we can to make it right.
