The items I list come from various sources. I purchase what I like and from where I find the items. Some of the items are family heirlooms looking for TLC and new homes. Some have come from estate clean outs that I have done to keep great stuff from the land fill, auctions where I got carried away, garage sales that I just couldn't resist, and sometimes even a few things that I've been asked to sell for other folks. I attempt to describe items accurately to the best of my ability with photos and text. Also, I will clean off the surface dirt but I usually won't attempt to fix things that I'm not sure about fixing and I won't assure that items are spotless when sold. Remember that this is, for the most part, old stuff which has been used and been the object of a variety of emotions.
The condition description is my best observation of the item.
