Vintage advertising promo ad pencils x9 Bakery Candy Bread Rolls Pastry

Description

[International bidders: please read the International Buyers section below, prior to bidding.
I have made a number of changes to ensure my shipping policies line up with PayPal’s requirements for PayPal Buyer and Seller Protection and you will need to understand the impact this has on the cost of international shipment.
Please do not pay for your item(s) until I have sent you my final invoice.
Thank you for your understanding.]
A nice selection of older advertising pencils for bakers and bakeries, and one for a candy shop. Most are from small Kansas towns and while a few may be outside the range, most date from the 1950s and 60s. Although unsharpened, expect some signs of age, minor blemishes on barrels and ferrules, and the possibility of grubby or gently used erasers that are mostly just for show.
There may be some duplicates or a mix of pencils for the same companies. Please look the pictures over carefully; I tried to make the photos clear enough so you can make out city names, companies, etc. However, if you have questions drop me a message. (Please excuse any glare on the pencils from the camera flash, by the way.)
(The boilerplate…
As with any vintage items, pencils may show their age in a variety of ways: colored pencils often need sharpening to clear off oxidation, barrels may have minor deflection or hairline openings caused by drying of the wood, the chemical composition of the compound used in pencil lead can be adversely affected by age and light, and so forth. Thus, while I believe these can be used as intended, I can offer no guarantee, implied or stated, that they will function as well as a similar new product. I will note any major condition problems but do want the buyer to be aware of typical issues that may occur with vintage goods.)
I accept PayPal, of course, and will ship these to you with great care (nicely packaged),
AT NO COST
in the United States. If you purchase any additional items from me this week that do require a shipping charge I will work with you on an equitable arrangement to combine shipment in such a way as to provide you with the best value and secure packaging.
I am also happy to ship outside the USA. My customers include eBayers from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Cyprus, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
Please read carefully the following section for further details about international shipping and contact me if you need more information.
Your total satisfaction is important to me. If you would like further information about this listing write to me and I will get back as soon as I can with a reply.
Please look at the other items I am listing this week and keep me bookmarked; I will be listing many vintage pencils, as well as slide rules, diecast toy cars, and other items, in the coming months.
International Buyers –
Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are
not included
in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
I do not charge any handling or packaging fees for international shipments; you will pay only what it costs to mail your package.
There is an increasing difficulty in offering accurate estimates of delivery times on international shipments sent via First-Class Mail International and, in some cases, Priority Mail International. This may be because of security and customs delays but, in any case,
delivery of your package can take up to eight (8) weeks
, though typically it takes 2-3 weeks to most locations.
My default service is First-Class Mail International (Priority Mail International if the package weighs more than four pounds – roughly 1,8 kg). If you need to have faster delivery or Guaranteed Date Delivery, please write for a shipping estimate before bidding.
There are two tiers I use to determine the international shipping cost:
1) For item(s) with a total value, including shipping, of less than USD.
The
actual cost of shipping the item(s) in this listing will be
determined after purchase but to most countries it’s about .00, a bit less to Mexico and Canada (NB: I do refund overpayment on postage in the event you pay the initial PayPal invoice and the shipping calculator overestimates the rate, or, if the rate on my final invoice to you is above the amount I actually pay at the post office). No insurance or tracking is available with First Class Mail International.
2) For item(s) valued above USD, including shipping
, the following applies:
In order to satisfy the PayPal User Agreement regarding seller verification of package tracking in the event of a Dispute or Claim,
I will only ship using trackable and/or insured service.
The actual cost of shipping the item(s) in this listing will be
determined after purchase but to most countries it’s approximately .00, a bit less to Mexico and Canada (NB: I do refund overpayment on postage in the event you pay the initial PayPal invoice and the shipping calculator overestimates the rate, or, if the rate on my final invoice to you is above the amount I actually pay at the post office).
Furthermore, if your total purchase amount, including shipping, totals 0 USD or more, or its foreign currency equivalent, I will require Signature Confirmation of Delivery (the cost of which will be included in the final shipping price I send you). Items with a value of over 0 USD, or its foreign currency equivalent, must be sent
using Global Express Guaranteed service, Express Mail International service, or Priority Mail International service (other than Flat Rate Envelopes or Small Flat Rate Boxes, which are not insurable). UPS or FedEx may be offered as alternative shippers if the size or weight of your parcel requires it.
Please, no requests to mark foreign-bound parcels as gifts or at less than full purchase price; that is illegal.
