For a better view, enlarge the photos above. In good condition for age with expected handling/storage. Feel free to ask about the issue you are interested in before ordering. No names or markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard and wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then sandwich in cardboard and wrap in brown paper when sent via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a one-pound Media Mail package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
