3 Vintage Mid Century Elf Gnome Pinecone Putz Christmas Ornaments ~ Japan

Description: Offering 3 Vintage Mid Century Elf Gnome Pinecone Putz Christmas Ornaments. They are all in good preowned vintage condition. All three have plastic faces, chenille beards and arms. The one on the left has a pinecone body, his feet are spun cotton and there is a 3rd spun cotton lump at the back for balance. He is holding a wire staff with a spun cotton lantern in his right hand. The Elf in the middle does have spun cotton feet, but you can only see them from the back. He is holding what I guess is a lantern made of gold glass beads in his right hand and a wood staff in his left hand. The 3rd elf (on the right) has a spun cotton body and sits on a pinecone. His feet are gold glass beads. He is carrying a stocking in his left hand. He has a rather large bell on his head that I believe is not original. He has a mushroom at his right side, but it has lost its red paint. He sits on a gold base. All 3 bases are marked Japan. All three have plastic faces, chenille beards and arms. They measure 2 1/2" to 3” tall. This is a great set to add to your Christmas décor. (#88a, sbr) Please examine all photos as they are as important to the description of this item as the words that are written about the item. Photos of ornaments always include a photo of 4 sides plus the top and bottom and may also include any special features of the ornament. Supersize them while you are examining the photos. Please remember that vintage ornaments are usually from 40 to 80 years old. All have been used and are thus probably not going to be in perfect condition. All are subject to some surface scratches, flaking to the paint, crazing of paint, age spots, oxidation, silvering loss, nicks around or under caps, may have tarnish / discoloration to metal caps, and some may not have the original caps. These are all signs of age ~ commonly called age patina. NOTE: I do offer combined shipping discounting when used with your shopping cart before you pay. Hints for using your shopping cart for requesting discounts: After putting your items in your shopping cart, check each of the items that you will be requesting the discount on and use "Request Total from Seller" button PRIOR TO PAYMENT. This prevents anyone else from purchasing your items and sends a request to me for a revised invoice. I will then package all your items and send a revised invoice to you with the new lower shipping cost. Thanks for looking at my auction, please look at my other auctions for more vintage items and good luck in the hunt for your piece of the past. Payment: I only accept PayPal at this time. Payments must be received within 3 days. If payment will be longer than 3 days, please send me an eBay message and I will work with you. If you have additional instructions or questions, please feel free to correspond with me. Shipping & Packaging: I package with 20 years of experience - if anything, I over package. I always look for the least expensive method of shipping to save buyers money on shipping. The shipping cost is clculated by USPS according to box size/weight and your location. I do not charge anything above that price, not do I add a handling fee. Delivery confirmation is always included. I also combine multiple items in shipping whenever possible - just let me know that you are planning to bid on additional items. Shipping should be quoted at the top except for items weighing over 1 lb., then there should be a shipping calculator for your use - if not, please e-mail for shipping information. My goal is always to ship within 1 business day. I sometimes mail on Saturdays, but that is one of the days that I am going to estate auctions & sales, etc. to get more items for my buyers. If you need your package quickly, just let me know, I will do all I can to meet your expectations. Condition of Items: I am out shopping constantly to bring you the best vintage holiday items I can find. Please keep in mind that vintage/antique items are OLD ~ 50 to 100+ years old. Thus, they will probably NOT be perfect. They may have paint loss, glitter loss, mica loss, dents, bumps, scratches. They have usually all been used in the past and thus have the patina of age and use. As with all my auctions there plenty of pictures for judging coloring and condition - remember to supersize them for your best view ~ they are part of the description. Because they are items from bygone days, I cannot guarantee that they are from a smoke free or pet free environment. Every effort has been made to describe the item as accurately as possible. I urge bidders to examine all photos and descriptions carefully and to e-mail me with any questions, concerns, or clarifications prior to the end of auction. If I have made a mistake, refund is for item price not postage. Returns: Returns are accepted only if I have grossly misrepresented the item. Refunds are for the cost of the item only. Return postage paid by the buyer. International bidders: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyers responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as gifts- US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Feedback: I will provide feedback for you, regardless of your returning the favor, but feedback from you is greatly appreciated. If I have not met your expectations, please allow me the opportunity to make it right before leaving neutral or negative feedback. Please do not use feedback to voice a complaint or problem, give me the opportunity to resolve your issue quickly. I do not end auctions early, please do not ask.
