TO ALL buyers, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE LISTING AND POLICIES BEFORE YOU offer! MOST OF THESE OLD ITEMS COME FROM ATTICS, BARNS, BASEMENTS ETC... AND HAVE LIVED THROUGH MANY GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES! IF SMOKE, PETS, MUSTY ODORS ETCBOTHER YOU, PLEASE DO NOT offer HERE. LIVING IN SOUTH LOUISIANA MY ENTIRE LIFE, I HAVE SINUS ISSUES AND NO SENSE OF SMELL!!!For your offerding consideration today, we have an attic fresh Civil War era wire hoop. We have four listed tonight, so check them out, we love to combine on shipping! This hoop has written in the back MRS MASONS IMPROVED WOVEN SKIRT FOR 1862. EVERY SKIRT MADE UNDER THIS STAMP WARRANTED _______WUTCHSPRING STREET_____UNIFORM AND_DURABLE ___OTHER IN THE MAKER. I cant make out all of the words, I did take a close up for your viewing. As you can see from the pictures, there is heavy soiling, breaks in the wires in spots, breaks in the strips that hold the wire, and the closure is missing at the waist, it is being held by a safety pin. For an item this old, and something that has held up in the Louisiana heat, it is still decent for its age. The bottom measures about 35\" across, the height from top to bottom is 32\", the waist as it is is 26\". International buyers, this would be too large of a box to ship, the shipping fees would be very high.Emails with offers to purchase items at reduced prices will not be answered. I have other outlets to sell items, so if you are interested in an item, please offer on it!!
International Buyers – Please Note: * Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer\'s responsibility. * Please check with your country\'s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to offerding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. * We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as \"gifts\" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. All international packages, with the exception of Canada, UK, Australia, and Netherlands, are now shipped priority mail so that the package can be tracked, with delivery confirmation.Email if you would like additional photos, or if you have any questions, as this is a final sale. Please don\'t wait until the last day to ask for more pictures, or questions, I am not online during the day. Buyer pays actual shipping only, whether you buy one item or several, we love to combine on shipping, and I never charge a handling fee.(Please remember this when you leave your star rating). Our home is smoke and pet free, but a lot of our items come from estate sales, and we don\'t know what the conditions were in the homes. We also use recycled packing materials to keep the costs down, so the same applies to these materials. Contact should be made within two days, and payment in five days. Paypal payments ship out same day, or next day at the latest, unless it is the weekend when we are usually at estate sales
