This auction is for a vintage tin windup ocean liner made in Germany by the Fleischmann company. The boat is about 20" long not including the rudder. It is missing the masts, life boats, and flags. While the boat is very dusty the paint is exceptional. The motor runs very strong. A key is provided but it is not marked Flesichmann so I don't think it's original. It looks like it was dropped on the stern as there is some denting and paint loss. This boat was made from the 1930's thro...ugh the 1950's. I think this one is pre-war, as the rudder is stamped "Made in Germany" and the decal is an early one and says "Gebr Fleischmann GFN Nurnberg N." As I understand it, after WW2 this would briefly have had a "Made in U.S. Zone" mark, and then it would have had "Made in Western Germany." Please see my other auctions and my eBay store for vintage German and other metal animals, figural desk items by Heyde and other makers, vintage toy soldiers, tin and windup toys, Marklin cannon, and vintage and out of print books on old toys.
Taxes: eBay now automatically adds sales tax to your cost for items going to states that require it.
Payment: I accept all the payment methods that eBay offers. Payment is due within four days from the end of the auction. If your payment is not received within this time period the eBay automated sales tool takes over and starts hounding you.
Shipping: My auctions end on Saturday. If you pay by 5:00 E.S.T. on Sunday I'll have them in the mail on Monday. Payments made later in the week or purchases made from my store are shipped as soon as I can get to the Post Office, but that can take several days and may not happen until the next Monday. I combine shipping on all purchases made and paid for at the same time (unless you're combining a book and toys as books use inexpensive media mail in the U.S. while toys can't). I use First Class (up to 16 oz) and Priority mail. Books ship media mail. I only charge actual postage - no added fees. I use lots of bubble wrap, peanuts, and good boxes. In a group of multiple pieces each item is wrapped individually. Original boxes or other original paper item go into a plastic bag in case you get delivery on a rainy day.
International Shipping: I gladly ship international. Please note that there can be lengthy delays at Customs. Per eBay rules, import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges -- these charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Return Policy: Returns are accepted. I use a loupe to examine the toys while I'm listing them and I try and mention the significant condition issues I see. I value my eBay reputation and I'm not knowingly going to put out false or misleading info on a toy. I leave feedback so please do the same. If there is any problem with the item contact me first before leaving feedback, and we’ll work it out.
