    Description
    …and I DID bring back a truck full! We shop each year down beautiful western Ohio at the World’s Longest Yard Sale, and it’s going to keep me posting for weeks. Looooots of oldoldold farm primitives, folk art, and uniques – I’ll try to post at least a little every day, so, be sure to check back and keep checking!
    AND…I might as well say it from the get-go. ALL of my items this week are DIRTY, DUSTY, COBWEBBY AND DEBRISY, all barn or attic lived for a long time, and ALL will need a good cleaning. I do not clean or mess with as found patina in any way.
    Also please note that I’ve made some changes to my payment and combined shipment policies, which you can see highlighted in my detail below. With recent increases in USPS mail charges, it might not always be less expensive to combine, especially if a box is over 12.”
    What can I say?!? I really try to find the unique and unusual for you - and that definitely describes this one! I don't know if it was made for just decoration, or if it was going to be framed at one time -but it does not stand on its own - it lays really well when you tell it to, though :)! It's a deco ear (1940s, I'm told) dog cut from natural leather hide - I'm assuming cow hide, and cut into the shape of a Scottish Terrier Dog. I want to note that in my first photos, I didn't realize that his tail was tucked under him, so please see my last photos as he does have a tail, and it did straighten out for me! In photo 12, you can see that there's two rows of stitching at the back on his neck - it can't be seen from the front. Now, it doesn't look like a repair, and it doesn't look like he's made from two pieces stitched together, so I am betting that either the maker added that to shore up his neck, or maybe he once had a collar? If so, you cannot see it. He's in excellent solid and sturdy condition structurally with no rips, holes, structural issues, or really, no wear that I can see at all. The black fur is in nice condition without wear that I can see. It is dark brown suede at the back. The leather is supple and pliable - he's not stiff at all, and no, he doesn't stand on his own! He measures 5" nose to tail, 4 1/4" tallest to the tips of his ears, and he's maybe 1/16" or a little thinner at the sides. He's light - maybe an ounce or two at most.  Looking for a new home - fenced in yard not required :)!
    Customer Satisfaction is extremely important to me.  If you receive an item and are not satisfied in any way, please contact me before leaving feedback.
    If you are using a phone or tablet to look at listings, you may not be seeing full descriptions – please make sure you are – I list sizes, condition and many photos on all of my items – so if you are not seeing that, you’re not seeing all I have about the listing.
    Please ask if you have any questions, or feel free to inform me if you have any information about one of my listings.  As with any of my items, if you ever need extra photos, let me know.  My white stool, my rug and anything else that you see other than the item discussed are not included in the auction!
    PAYMENT IS DUE IMMEDIATELY(SAME DAY) AFTER THE CLOSE OF AN AUCTION.
    I’m happy to combine shipments for you, when possible - depending upon size and weight,
    it might not always be possible, though
    .
    I have found recently, with USPS latest rate hikes, that it now is often cheaper NOT to combine, if by doing so the box goes above 12." Please know before bidding, or check with me if you have questions.
    If you win an item and plan to bid on another, please email me to let me know that you are looking at other items, hold to pay for the first item and
    request a combined shipping invoice once you’ve won the other item/s
    .
    If you pay for an item, I have to ship it
    , I cannot hold for items that close another day, if you pay for the first item. Unless you ask me for an invoice earlier, I will invoice on Sunday for multiple items purchased the week prior, or after 5 days have passed since the item that you won has closed.
    5 (FIVE)
    days from the closing of the FIRST bought item will be the
    longest
    I can wait time wise to combine, and
    I ask for immediate payment after invoice for combined orders
    .
    I NOW HAVE EBAY'S UNPAID ITEM ASSISTANT SET TO AUTOMATICALLY FILE A CLAIM FOR PAYMENT 8 DAYS AFTER THE CLOSE OF AN AUCTION, WHEN NO PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE -  PLEASE KNOW.
    Please know that some items cannot be combined, though, do to size, weight, or safety of the items.  Many items that are set to ship in USPS FLAT RATE boxes; I cannot combine due to size restrictions. Please look at the shipping alternatives in the listings.  I only mail USPS and pack in the best manner that we feel safe – I cannot change shipment methods after the close of an auction (i.e. rolling an old map to save money when I have it set to ship flat), especially if I feel the requested method is not safe.  Again, I only ship USPS and charge actual cost to ship only. I ship within one business day of receipt of your payment, unless there’s a holiday that closes the post office, or I will notify you otherwise.
    As I shop for treasures on the weekends, I most often do not ship on Saturday. Most items closing and paid for on Friday will be shipped on Monday.
    Many of my items come from local rural estate sales and auctions.  They are coming right from the barn or attic to you - dust, dirt, cobwebs and all!  I do not clean and polish before I sell – they are in the condition found, as you see in my photos, and I leave the patina exactly as it was when I bought the item
    .  I do my best to photo and describe all thoroughly.
    With postage rates increasing regularly, I am shipping more and more items Parcel Select. Parcel Select travels by land or rail and the packages do not leave the regional post office until they fill up a bin going in the same direction (so the estimated delivery is truly only an estimate – not exact).  The post office estimates 5-7 days, but it can go up higher, sometimes even 3-4 weeks in peak mailing times like the holidays.  I always provide a tracking number, so you can see where your item is on any day.
    Sales tax will be added for states as required.
    …and thanks so much for looking, I appreciate having you as a customer!
