Military Artifacts: ORIGINAL

This is an original pair of Men's Sateen Coveralls in size Small (42). The label has a DSA stock number which dates these to the Vietnam War era. These are well used but clean and surprisingly in pretty good shape with all buttons and straps still intact. There is a hole in the bottom of the pant leg (see picture #3) and some light stains on one leg. The name, "MARTIN" is stenciled over the left breast pocket as well. I measured these out at:

Shoulder to Shoulder: 17"

Armpit to Armpit: 19"

Inseam: 26"

Waist: 15" (x2 equals a 30 inch waist)

I will also combine auctions and accept local pick up. I recently have been having good luck once again selling to some overseas locations. I will start to ship to Australia, Canada, Japan and might test other areas, but will still not ship to certain parts of Europe, noteably Germany, Italy and France nor will I ship to APO's. However, certain items CANNOT be shipped outside the United States such as military radio equipment. I will not bend, tweek or break any laws restricting the shipping of certain items.

Comes from a smoke free home, feel free to ask questions.

PAYPAL ONLY, I will ship within 3 business days of receipt of payment. I will only charge for shipping. I will NOT charge or pad my auction with handling charges. If there is an overcharge in shipping I will refund the difference.
ABOUT HANDLING CHARGES: I still hate handling charges and view them as a loop hole for some unreputable sellers to increase their profits.  I won't use handling charges unless a buyer requests special services.
ABOUT POSTAGE RATES. I do refund any excess postage the eBay shipping calculator charges if and when it happens and it does. If postage comes out to more, I eat that cost so I try to be careful about postage. I never deliberately try to increase profit by boosting postage. That has been suggested by a couple of people. You know what? Just because you had something shipped from somebody that came from someplace else cheaper doesn't mean it's that cost for all 50 states. And size of the box determines excess postage sometimes. When anything gets over 12 inches in width, length or depth some postage goes sky high. That's why I OFFER OPTIONS, because some postage will be much cheaper. I had one brainiack tell me something was outrageous and yes, the Priority shipping was very high, but if Dr. Spock there had bothered to look at the optional shipping he would have seen it could have been shipped three times cheaper via Parcel Post. Sometimes when this happens and I notice it I try to bring that to the attention of the buyer and will refund if they made a mistake after payment. You would be surprised to know how many people just accept Priority shipping without even thinking or looking at the optional shipping rates.
NO I WILL NOT GIVE A DAMAGE REFUND OR DISCOUNT if it's damaged in transit.  You DO have a FOURTEEN DAY RIGHT OF INSPECTION and return it (at buyer's cost) for a full refund of the auction bid amount. I have had more than one person tell me they wanted some money back for damage they wouldn't prove. Basically they wanted to get a kick back for what they bought. It's doesn't mean I won't work with somebody if it's a reasonable request, but sometimes people just have to have a little something extra after all is said and done. I try to pack things as best I can, and if I feel I was amiss on that I will gladly work with somebody. Sometimes I forget people value boxes and packaging and I can feel their pain so if I feel I didn't package something good enough I am more than happy to work with someone. Most of the time I am very careful although I do try to use whatever boxes I can find instead of buying them to keep from charging a handling fee.
RESTRICTED INTERNATIONAL SALES AND NO APO ADDRESSES!   I'm sorry, but I've had to many problems shipping out of the United States and will not do so any longer, SEE ABOVE FOR EXCEPTIONS. The last person I shipped to at an APO address turned out to be in Japan and that cost me $160.00. I am VERY sorry if your kid has a birthday and a rare uncurable disease (I really had a buyer tell me this), but I am not here to save the world, only sell an item and it may not be fair to you to exclude you from this sale or sell it out from under everyone else, but I don't think it's fair to change the rules of an auction and cut everyone else out. However, if I am offered enough to retire and buy an offshore island I might consider ending this auction early and ignoring my morals. I try to be honest and fair, please don't ask me to do otherwise.
PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS. Or I will file a claim with eBay and relist item for sale.

Original Iraq War "Most Wanted" Playing Cards (2003)

These are the Original playing cards. All the reproductions have the camo boxes. The cards you are bidding on are sealed in plastic in an un-opened box with the box seal from the company that made them. Please read about the cards below and also follow the link at the bottom to verify that these are in fact the original cards. Any questions, please feel free to ask.

In the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition, the U.S. military developed a set of playing cards to help troops identify the most-wanted members of President Saddam Hussein's government, mostly high-ranking Baath Party members or members of the Revolutionary Command Council. The cards were officially named the "personality identification playing cards".

Each card contains the wanted person's name, a picture if available, and the job performed by that individual. The highest-ranking cards, starting with the aces and kings, were used for the people at the top of the most-wanted list. The ace of spades is Saddam Hussein, the aces of clubs and hearts are his sons Qusay and Uday respectively, and the ace of diamonds is Saddam's presidential secretary Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti. This strict correspondence to the order of the most-wanted list was not carried through the entire deck, but some time later in 2003, the list itself was renumbered to conform (almost) to the deck of cards.

Texas-based Liberty Playing Card Co. received an order to manufacture the cards for the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait and by claiming to be "the authorized government contractor" quickly became another popular domestic supplier for the commercial market. The U.S. military inadvertently included in the jokers the trademarked Hoyle joker owned by the United States Playing Card Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. Although The U.S. Playing Card company does not object to the government's use of the image, they do object to other companies using the trademarked image. Thus, in some sense, the U.S. military inadvertently granted The U.S. Playing Card Company exclusive rights to manufacture the authentic decks, if the trademarked images on the jokers are considered a requirement for being authentic.

All Information can be verified that these are in fact the original cards by checking the link below.

ORIGINAL WWII US ARMY WWII - POST WAR OD7 CANTEEN COVER

ABOUT HANDLING CHARGES: I still hate handling charges and view them as a loop hole for some unreputable sellers to increase their profits.  I won't use handling charges unless a buyer requests insurance or delivery confirmation. Remember! The Post Office DOES NOT have true tracking!!!!! Delivery confirmation is the only service they offer with Parcel Post and Priority and all that does is show you when it was delivered, it does NOT track nor does tell you if the package was actually delivered to the right address. The Post Office will swear up and down they offer tracking but experience shows otherwise. If you want true tracking you have to mail out United Parcel Service which costs more, but has tracking AND insurance (up to $100.00) included in the shipping costs.
ABOUT POSTAGE RATES. I do refund any excess postage the eBay shipping calculator charges if and when it happens and it does. If postage comes out to more, I eat that cost so I try to be careful about postage. I never deliberately try to increase profit by boosting postage. That has been suggested by a couple of people.

You would be surprised to know how many people just accept Priority shipping without even thinking or looking at the optional shipping rates.
NO I WILL NOT GIVE A DAMAGE REFUND OR DISCOUNT if it's damaged in transit.  You DO have a SEVEN DAY RIGHT OF INSPECTION and return it (at buyer's cost) for a full refund of the auction bid amount. I have had more than one person tell me they wanted some money back for damage they wouldn't prove. Basically they wanted to get a kick back for what they bought. It's doesn't mean I won't work with somebody if it's a reasonable request, but sometimes people just have to have a little something extra after all is said and done.

2 original rare photos, Boer War Dead in Trenches 1900

Another Great Find from <br />fineamericanart”border=

2 photos of the dead in trenches at Natal during the Boer War, January 1900. I checked online and learned that while noone had these listed for sale outright, I could “buy the rights” from a vendor to use the image of one of these photos for one day for a mere $185.00. So our beginning price represents an excellent buy for the serious collector. These each measure 8.175” x 6” without the mounting. Condition is as shown in the photos below, and we rate that condition as good with the condition of the mounts being fair-to-good. This is a consignment sale. Be sure to read the entire ad and examine all the photos below. Condition: While we provide a written description of condition, our photos constitute an equally important part of that description, so please examine all of the photographs below carefully. In addition, all older and antique items and art can reasonably be expected to have signs of handling, oxidization (toning) of canvas, paper, and wooden components. Please note, too, that all of our photography is done in outdoor shade with ambient sunlight, producing the best approximation of the item’s true colors. When you unpack your purchase indoors under traditional lightbulb (incandescent) lighting, its tonality can appear darker. Second Chance Offers New eBay procedures prevent fraudulent “Second Chance” Offers. Now on higher priced items your bidder’s ID can only be seen by the seller of the item. But if you want to make absolutely sure that any second chance offer I may send you is legitimate, you can look under your own “My eBay” where my offer would appear under your “My Messages” and also under “All Buying” which is in a column on the left side of that area. I do occasionally make second chance offers. If you didn’t bid on my item to begin with, it is impossible for you to get a legitimate second chance offer.Questions about any item: please when you ask a question, please refer to the item by name or number. Because when you ask a question through eBay’s message system, the system does not always refer to a specific item! Important: I never eMail bidders with a private offer to sell during an auction. The latest scam involves bidders receiving “offers” from the seller while the bidding is going on. Ignore all such offers.Shipping: Automatically calculated shipping: shipping amount includes packing, and USPS Priority shipping and insurance. This item is being sold Worldwide. Packages in excess of 104 inches length and girth combined are shipped using UPS, usually UPS “3-day select.” I make every effort to ship within one business day of getting payment, as the feedback I’ve received attests. Our experience is that United Kingdom buyers’ packages are considerably delayed by UK Customs. Return and Refund Policy on Consignment sales:. Except for consignment sales we have a broad return policy. Consignment sales may not be returned, so read the entire eBay ad carefully, look at all the photos, and ask all questions before bidding. This is a consignment sale, and we have indicated that elsewhere in the ad, too. We will do our utmost to describe the item accurately and thoroughly, however the buyer is responsible for making an informed bid. Payment: Online payments via PayPal. I cannot mail to unconfirmed addresses given to PayPal: that makes me liable to chargebacks: An unconfirmed address is one potential indication of the addressee and credit card or bank account owner not being one and the same. Our Feedback: We have the greatest customers in the world. They love art, communicate with us, and pay remarkably fast. As soon as I get your payment I enter your positive feedback. Then I knock myself out priority-mailing your item within 24 hours of payment. So thanks for entering the positive feedback that good art, great packing, fast mailing, quick and open communication, and top customer service warrants! Make us a Favorite:24% of our feedbacks are from repeat customers. We specialize in finding early 20th Century paintings in these categories: abstract art, abstraction, modernism, art moderne, impressionism, impressionist, art deco, cubist or cubism, or modern art. If you join our satisfied customers, consider adding us to your Favorite Sellers. Please Note:
As a gesture of fairness to all bidders we do not reveal the reserve when we have one. This item is available for sale locally, off-eBay, so it is subject to removal from eBay for private sale until the reserve is met. Please do not request that I understate your bid amount or item value on invoices or customs forms. We are happy to answer any other questions about an auction. If payment is not received within 10 days of end of auction, unless buyer and I have made other arrangements, sale will be automatically revoked and/or item will be re-listed. I take pride in describing items accurately. I cannot always be sure of the age, origin, maker/artist, and sometimes not even materials of an item. Otherwise, if I have firsthand knowledge about an item, or anecdotal or documentary material, I will always include it. I occasionally get eMails with the question “Do you guarantee this items authenticity?” When the eBay ad does not explicitly guarantee authenticity, authenticity is not guaranteed, and will not be guaranteed after the sale or privately during the sale, so please read the ad! I like hearing from you and I want to resolve any questions you might have before you bid. I reserve the right to remove and block bids and bidders with low feedback or no feedback who fail to adequately identify themselves on request.
