Cloverine talcum powder general store drugstore antique advertising match safe

Description

We have not listed things for the last few months as summer has kept us pretty busy.  But colder weather is here now with the more active times on eBay & we have decided to sell off some of our collection or complete collections.  That said, we have devoted the guest bedroom for things we have brought home from the storage rentals & the move here from the larger house in the north.  When company lets us know they are coming to Las Vegas we just say "what hotel are you staying at & let’s get together".  We are at the age when our time is worth more to us than entertaining out of town moochers wanting a free room. LOL
We just can't keep everything as much as I'd like to and paying rent to store things makes little sense. I've decided to use a new format for describing things on the KISS level with just the basics and then if somebody needs to know more, don't hesitate to ask.
1.
I have sold many of my match safes from my 40 plus years of collecting & now time to sell some of my advertising pieces for products
2.     match safes advertising a product were some of my favorites and some of the hardest to find
3.     back when collecting, if I saw a good one in nice condition at a fair price that I already had, I purchased anyway for trading or resale in the future
4.     I never deliberately purchased those with abuse or damage no matter how cheap they were & if I accidently did such as a broken spring, I will define
5.     I will consider an offer but keep in mind, hungry & greedy eBay now charge in excess of 20% commission which many are not aware of
6.     insulting lowball offers under my starting bid or my cost will be ignored & that person more than likely blocked from bidding in the future
7.     Cloverine talcum power must have been a popular brand because I found several of this one over the years
8.
some pocket dirt has leaked in under the celluloid and the celluloid cover has yellowed some over time but that is to be expected
9.     colors are bright and clear
10.     most of the original nickel plating still remains on this piece and I doubt it was handled or used much
11.     this comes with nice old wood matches that came with it when I purchased
12.     if not to your satisfaction, just return it for a refund
in anticipation to some questions you might have:
We
combine items
to save buyers money on shipping costs
Our goal is to get any win or wins to the buyer at the least expensive cost possible
Cash, checks, MOs, and PayPal are accepted forms of payment
Offers are considered to change the auction to a “Buy it Now" for your strong offer over the starting bid
Any extra
overcharge for shipping is refunded
to the buyer when we access the total cost on the receipt
All items leaving the U.S.A. must be insured
Cost to ship outside the continental U.S. is not known until after auctions end & we know how much to insure for
We quote shipping costs, not eBay's misguided & deceitful almost always overpriced shipping calculator
All items going to Hawaii or Alaska are sent Priority mail because there are no cheaper methods
No charge for packing materials or any hidden or handling fees
I pay eBay’s 20.4% greedy commission, not you so no offers under my cost which often is my starting bid
eBay does gouge you for sale tax which they claim to give to the states but many doubt it
Refunds given if a good legitimate reason is given, not if it doesn’t match your drapes or your pink panties
This is an auction, not a department store with a pink panties return counter
