VINTAGE BRASS LIONS HEAD DOOR KNOCKER

Description

I BOUGHT THIS DOOR KNOCKER FROM A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ENGLAND (somewhere outside of London) ABOUT 40+ YEARS AGO.
I WENT FOR THE FIRST TIME TO VISIT MY FRIEND AND WE WERE DRIVING AND I SAW A FAMILY  WITH TABLES SET UP AND THINGS FOR SALE.  I INSISTED SHE STOP AND SHE WAS RELUCTANT BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME THEY WERE “TRAVELERS”.  WHAT  WE CALL “GYPSIES”.  WE ARGUED AND SHE STOPPED.
A LITTLE RAGAMUFFIN GIRL OFFERED ME THIS DOOR KNOCKER AND I COULDNT RESIST.
I ONLY USED IT AS A PAPERWEIGHT.
ITS NOT MARKED AND ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS HOW I ACQUIRED IT.
ITS HEAVY, 12.5 oz.
IN THE MANUFACTURING THE KNOCKER PART WAS SET AT S SLIGHT ANGLE.  I BELIEVE YOU CAN SEE WHAT IM TRYING TO DESCRIBE IN THE PHOTOS.  THIS DOESNT EFFECT ITS USE  IT WORKS JUST FINE.
I DECIDED I SHOULD HAVE AN ESTATE SALE WHILE I'M HERE TO ENJOY IT!  PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE OTHER ITEMS I'VE LISTED AND WILL CONTINUE TO LIST FOR A GOOD LONG TIME.  THEY ARE FROM BOXES AND DRAWERS, ETC. SOME OF WHICH I HAVEN'T OPENED FOR FIFTY YEARS!
PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE PHOTOS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU BID.  IF YOU'D LIKE MORE PHOTOS, JUST ASK ME AND I'M HAPPY TO SEND THEM ALONG.  I DO COMBINE SHIPPING, IF POSSIBLE.  IF YOU DO WANT COMBINED SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT.I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL AND I ONLY SHIP WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL USA.  I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS UNLESS YOU FIND THAT I HAVE MATERIALLY MISREPRESENTED AN ITEM, AND AS YOU'LL SEE FROM MY FEEDBACK, I DON'T DO THAT.  MY HOME IS SMOKE FREE AND I DO HAVE A DOG.
RECENTLY, I HAD AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE WITH A BUYER.  AS YOU SEE ABOVE, I DO HAVE A DOG. AND, LIKE MOST DOGS IT SHEDS.  INVARIABLY THERE IS DOG HAIR ON ME AND IN THE HOUSE.  I MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SELL AND SHIP ITEMS THAT ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM DOG HAIR.  OF COURSE I DO!  HOWEVER, ITS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE A HAIR MAY ESCAPE MY NOTICE AND END UP IN THE BOX I USE TO SHIP OR ON AN ITEM.
THAT SAID, IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC, SEVERELY OR OTHERWISE TO DOG HAIR, PLEASE DON?T BID  BECAUSE AS UNLIKELY AS IT IS YOU WILL BE EFFECTED BY A STRAY DOG HAIR, WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THE CHANCE AND I WILL NOT REDUCE A PRICE OR ACCEPT A RETURN BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE STRAY DOG HAIR.
ALSO, IF I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A PIECE, THE PRIOR OWNERS HOUSEHOLD CONDITIONS ARE UNKNOWN TO ME.
I EXPECT PAYMENT WITHIN 3 DAYS OF YOUR WINNING BID AND I WILL SHIP WITHIN 3 DAYS OF PAYMENT (EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS).ONE MORE THING THAT I REGRET HAVING TO ADD.  OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS I'VE HAD PEOPLE BID AND WIN AND THEN NOT MAKE PAYMENT.  I ALWAYS SEND A POLITE REQUEST/REMINDER THAT PAYMENT WAS DUE 3 DAYS AFTER THE WIN.  I REALLY DON'T LIKE HAVING TO REPORT TO EBAY THAT A BUYER HAS NOT PAID BUT IF YOU DON'T CONTACT ME TO TELL ME THERE'S A PROBLEM.....EBAY WILL CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND REFUND THEIR FEE AND I WILL PUT YOU ON MY "BLOCK" LIST.  SO, IF YOU BID PLEASE PLAN ON MAKING THE PAYMENT WITHIN 3 DAYS.  I APPRECIATE IT.  THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE BE SAFE!
