Please note:  The low starting bid does not reflect the true value of this item.  

This is a wonderful lot for someone who is into making or repairing hats, chair seats, baskets, ornaments.  Along with a nice roll of cane or reed - whatever it is for basket making, you will get a wonderful book covering cane, rush and straw work.  The table of contents is shown in picture #4. You can click on it and enlarge it to read all it contains.  It is a 1977 First printing of the book.  The book comes with its original dust jacket.   Inside the book is written, "To my valentine , 1981, Lord Jeffery Inn, Amherst, Ms."  It is stamped, " R.G. Sheppard D-004, 300  Willow Valley Lakes Dr. Willow Street, PA  17584-9496."  In the back of the book, there is an envelope containing a lot of patterns and instructions for objects to make.  The book is in very nice condition with little wear.     

I looked over this lot very well and did my best describing it to you.  Please click on the pictures to enlarge them.

I have other vintage items listed this week and will combine wins to save you on shipping whenever possible, and you are only charged by the weight of the package with no additional handling fees.  

NOTE:  I go to extremes to keep the shipping rate down to a bare minimum for you.  I have packaged this inside a plain brown box.  I managed to keep the weight down to 4 pounds, and it can be shipped out via Actual USPS Media Mail.  International bidders will receive First Class International shipping.  There is a small handling fee.  You can check your shipping rate at the bottom of this page.  Insurance is optional on this item.  I package very well; however, I will not be held responsible for lost or broken items once they leave my home.  If you purchase insurance, it will not show up on the shipping label, since it is through Auctiva; however, I will include the print out issuing you insurance through them.  If you live close enough, I have no problem with local pick up to save you on the shipping. 

I am clearing out my house, attic and shed to make room for my kids (grown ones with kids) who have recently moved back home and need storage and living space.  I also need to make a lot of money for all of the changes being made here due to the amount of people I am squeezing in.  My office is now a bedroom for 2 more of my grandsons, and I am operating my ebay sales from my walk in closet.  I actually find that it is much easier staying organized in a smaller space, so their move is helping more than hindering me (-:  They sure put a lot of smiles on my face. 

NOTE: I wish to thank all of the wonderful people who have visited my site.  Your bids have helped so very much.  I was able to furnish the boys room with a brand new bunk bed, desk and bureau.  You also helped to buy them some nice clothing.  God bless each and everyone of you.
