Miami Arizona Anchor Cigar Store Blue Twins antique advertising match safe vesta

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.
In the past few years I have sold many of my match safes from my 40 plus years of collecting
2.     I still have some left which many were my favorites, those that I had more than one of possibly, or other reason of no concern other than to me
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 don't consider this a derogatory item, just a charming non offensive part of American History
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.
over the years I acquired several of this one & perhaps it is the best condition of any of them
8.     condition on all my match safes is good or better although some have pocket dirt leaked in under the celluloid protective cover
9.     often the celluloid cover has yellowed with 100 years of age or more but that is a natural occurring thing with old celluloid and the normal
10.   much of the original nickel plating still remains on the lid and base of this match safe
11.   this match safe 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
