Glass Flaws that were created when this train was made: [1] The base width of this train varies by 1/8 of an inch. Quite unusual. I can only assume that this train was handled before it was completely cooled. It measures 1 1/16 inch right before the first set of wheels; after the first set of wheels, it measures 1 inch; after the this first set, it also measures one inch across after the second set of wheels; but after the third set, it only measures 15/16 of an inch; Lastly, behind the last set of wheels, it measures 1 inch. [2] The glass on the front of the cow catcher is is wavy. It is not chipped. I have handled quite of few of these trains over the years, and I assure you this is not a chip. Once again, I truly feel this train was handled before it should have been.
Condition: Used Vintage Condition. [a] The cardboard insert is missing. [b] The paint is missing. There are two specks of red paint that can be seen in the last two pictures. But they are just specks. [c] There is a chip on the base of this train. It is located between the two large wheels on the left side as the train is facing you. It is located on the opposite of the specks of paint. Please do not allow a child to handle this train. This is a sharp chip. Once again, DO NOT ALLOW A CHILD TO HANDLE THIS TRAIN. THERE IS A SHARP CHIP ON IT.
I ship using USPS or UPS - whichever is least expensive and quicker.

Additionally, any messages sent to the seller via the Etsy conversation system will also be retained on the Etsy site. None of this information is used for any type of marketing, spamming, or solicitation on my part. (And I will not be sending you a Christmas card either.)

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it normally take you to ship an item?
All orders received by 8:00 PM Eastern Time are processed (mailed) the next day. I usually drop off packages at the post office in the morning six days a week; I normally drop off packages to the UPS drop off point in the afternoon five days a week.
- Etsy does not have a system where we can list UPS as an alternative. I ship via USPS or UPS, whichever is least expensive and quickest. I refund shipping overages paid by you.
What do you do if the shipping calculator has over estimated or under estimated the shipping charges?
If the shipping calculation is over by more than 50 cents, I will reimburse you. Yup, I will reimburse you 50 cents.
If the shipping calculator is under by any amount, you will not know about it; that is, I will not request that you make any further payment because of an error of mine, the calculator, or the system.
If I contact you, when can I expect a reply? What are your normal working hours?
My normal hours seven days a week are 1:00 - 9:00 PM. I answer questions within two hours during this time.
On my off hours, I will normally return your question as soon as I open up for the day.
I do not operate with any smart devices - only dumb ones, as they simply do not work in dead zones, so I periodically throughout my day check the old desktop.
Are there any other requirements to return an item? For what reasons do you allow returns?
1. You, the buyer, shall ensure the items are received by me in the SAME condition in which you received it. You are not required to use the original packaging and box. Feel free to use your own if you so desire
2. In addition, please provide me, via a convo, the tracking number within one eight calendar days of receiving the item.
Returns can be made for any reason whatsoever. You will receive the original cost of the item and the original shipping. I do not charge a bogus restocking fee. Be aware that the cost to return the item (shipping) will not be reimbursed to you.
Do I, the buyer, pay for shipping insurance?
As you may or may not be aware, shipping insurance benefits the seller. I normally pay for the insurance, if any. The only time, you (the buyer) would pay for the insurance is if YOU request it.
I do not normally buy additional insurance as I tend to pack for a nuclear blast...or, at least, for war.
Do you accept offers?
NO, I am sorry. I do not.
I do, however, encourage you to shop around. In many of my listings, I leave a reference at the bottom of the description to assist you in your research. This way, you will be able to compare apples with apples.
What is the difference between purchasing at your etsy store, AtMemoryLane.store and purchasing at your stand alone shop, AtMemoryLane.shop?

---In addition, all purchases made AtMemoryLane.shop, will receive a 4.4% refund on your purchased item.

No. There is no need for me to operate my shop like that. My items are already priced fairly.
If I place one of your items in my cart will I receive a discount?
No. Sorry, but I do not inflate my prices to begin with so there is no need to discount them.
