Whether displayed proudly on a shelf or carefully handled as a cherished memento, it’s a piece that’s bound to bring smiles and fond memories of childhood dreams and simpler times. **Condition:** Pre-owned vintage item with areas of rust and wear that add a genuine, rustic appeal.

The price of the shipping is an estimate of the furthest location possible we can ship. We are happy to provide a refund for any extra in the shipping.

This allows you to see the domestic (USA) shipping costs as well as international shipping, handling, and other fees. The import charges include any customs duties, taxes, brokerage, and other fees.
