Description: VINTAGE MCM ** COUROC of MONTEREY **~ "HUMMINGBIRD KACHINA" ~*~ 7" INLAID PLATTER or TRAY ~*Small, Inlaid Wood with Metal Outline _______________________________ SIZE: This piece measures 7" in height; 6 " in width DESCRIPTION: This auction features a Couroc of California tray. The theme and title is "Hummingbird Kachina." The image appears to reflect a Southwestern theme and has the image of said Kachina in the front middle. This appears to have inlaid small wood pieces -- some that appear to have been dyed. The back bears the original sticker which outlines information about the Hummingbird Kachina in Hopi culture, and further details information about the company itself. It definitely an interesting piece to look at. Please do view the pictures (and video) as a part of the overall description. I do feel it gives a pretty good indication as to how this piece looks in person. As always, please feel free to message me with any questions you may have, too. CONDITION: FAIR ~ I am considering the use when factoring the condition rating. This tray would likely be considered in Fair condition for the age and use of it. There are some minor surface scratches seen on both sides, but nothing I would personally consider unusual for a vintage piece. I did note some minor storage soiling, which includes fingerprints (these can even be seen in the pictures and video). That said, I will leave any cleaning to the new owner. Ultimately, I do not see any chips, cracks, or other major issues. The coloring and image on the front appears to be doing well, with no missing inlay or other problems. I would ask that the pictures (and video!) are viewed as an extension to the overall description of this piece, too, as I do feel it gives a better view of what you would see in person. That said, if there is anything I may have missed where the condition is concerned, please feel free to message me and I will be happy to help. With age and use considered, I would still say both of this pieces rates in Fair PLUS condition overall. AGE/YEAR MADE: Vintage (circa 1960s) ———————————** IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PLEASE READ! ** ~ GENERAL ~*** I do my very best to accurately describe the items I sell her on eBay; listing their imperfections as much as their attributes. I always note flaws so there are no surprises when an item is received. The items I offer are nearly always used, though, and therefore are not in, "mint" condition. In fact, I never use the word mint to describe an item. With that said, please do not misunderstand my sometimes low opening bids. They almost never truly reflect the actual value of any item. In fact, they are priced in such a way because I like to keep with the fun and excitement of an actual auction. ~ PAYMENT & SHIPPING ~*** I kindly ask that payment for purchase(s) be made within 5 days of the close of the auction. Occasionally, I will offer a "Buy It Now" option: in those cases, payment is due as soon as the "Purchase Now" button is chosen. An automatic NPB (Non-Paying Bidder) notification will be sent after the 5th day if payment is not received. Paypal is currently the only form of payment I accept. I am more than happy to combine shipping on items, please just contact me prior to the auction's end. I can then send a combined invoice which will save you some money and me some time! :) Where shipping is concerned, I do my very best to ship items within 1-2 business day after payment is received.~ PURCHASES & RETURNS ~*** I strive to make your buying experience with me as excellent as I can. With that said, please contact me if you are unhappy! I will do everything possible to correct the problem. On nearly all of my items, if you are dissatisfied with your purchase, you are welcome to return it for a full refund within two weeks (14 days) from the day it was received. Return shipping will be paid by the buyer, though. In certain cases, I may sell an item for a close friend of family member that does not belong to me. Those are usually the only instances that I do not allow returns. I figure, if the item does not belong to me, I should allow that decision to be made by the person who does own it. ~ SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP INTERNATIONALLY! ~
