Antique American Indian Handmade Beaded Moccasin TopsFlamingo_cat store. Flamingo_cat antique american indian handmade beaded moccasin tops click images to enlarge if you are a newly-registered bidder, or have 10 or less feedbacks, please contact me before bidding! Thank you. This auction is for a beautiful pair or set of vintage (antique? ) native american indian handmade, decorative beaded tops for moccasins or shoes. I have no idea which tribe they came from. They were foudn packed in a trunk along with some old non-indian clothing, linens, & accessories, & are in excellent condition. I'm not entirely sure if they were ever used. All i can report is some light soil & yellowing on the knit bcak & around the edges as shown. All beadwork is securely intact. These tops are of knitted construction, which is much sturdier than woven or embroidered beadwork, since each individual bead is 'locked' in place with a knit stitch, much like the highly desirable ladies antique knit beaded purses. Colors include opalescent white (with a few opaque white beads mixed in), & clear amber, teal, dark green, lime green, pink, navy blue & red. If you look closely at the 2 heart motifs within the top corners of the triangle on teh fronts, you will see that one has pink hearts with a turquoise blue outline, while the other has a dark blue heart outlined in amber. I don't know what significance or meaning this may have. Each top measures 9 & 1/4l from toe tip to back edge, sides are 1 & 3/4w, & the widest part of the beadwork is 7 across the front. While they certainly would enhance any pair of doeskin moccasins, they are wonderful just as they are, for the collector of vintage beadwork or american indian craftwork. Please keep checking my listings for mroe neat vintage finds. I always combine shipping on multiple purchasse within 1 week. Shipping cost in usa alos includes delivery confirmation tracking. All bidders please read terms of sale/fine print! I want each & every transaction to be a very pleasant experience for both of us. I'll do my very best to fulfill my part of the deal, from providing detailed descriptions & photos, to sending your carefulyl packaged item usually within 1 business day of receiving your payment.

Communication, understanding, & respect are mutual requirements for every successful transaction on ebay! All newly registered bidders, those with negatives for non-payment or feedback rating of 10 or less, must please contact me before bidding. I nede to know that you totally understand how ebay works! The vast majority of newer bidders are wonderful & welcome! But a very small handful have no clue as to the workings of ebay auctions, & they can really ruin things for everyone. If you bid without contacting me first, you may have your bid cancelled, & if you win without contacting me first, i reserve the right to sell the item to the underbidder, & report you as non-compliant with the seller's terms of sale. (sorry to sound so harsh! But a recent rash of non-paying bidders has made this requirement a necessity. )questions? Please ask any & all questions before bidding. As hard as i try to cover everything, there may be something important to you that i've overlooked. But please do not wait until the auction is almost over! I am usually not at teh computer then, or any evenings, but i do check my computer every morning. My listings are done on a launch schedule, & i am usually sleeping when they begin or end! fI you need more photos, please let me know. Winning bidder if a shipping cost is shown, you may click pay now & proceed to check out, if you are purchasing just the single item. If you bid on & win more than 2 auction, please request your total within 2 days of auction's closing so i can wrap your items & send your combined invoice. Combined shipping since i always combine shipping for multiple purchases to keep your cost as low as possible, i don't pre-pack anything ahead of time in case you win more than one auction within the same week. (but i can always give you a pretty accurate estimate of shipping cost before you bid, just ask. ) important all multiple items must be paid for with a single combined invoice, in order to be eligible for the combined shipping discount, especially if using paypal! (while paypal is free for you to use, they charge me per transaction, so combining an invoice saves me some money, too! ) please do not pay for your item yet if you plan to bid on more of my auctions (& let me know! ), otherwise i cannot combine the shipping. Shipping time all items will be pcakaged with utmost care & quickly sent out, usually within 1 business day of receiving your payment, weather & usps business hours permitting. Please kepe in mind, usps is only open until noon on saturdays, & your package might not go out until the following monday (unless they are closed for a holiday! Then it would be tuesday.
) once your item has been mailed, i will e-mail you the shipping details by the next day, including any tracking or delivery confirmation numbers. Please do not bid fi you cannot make contact within 3 days of auction's end!
I need to know that you do want teh item! If you do not make contact by then, i will e-mail you only once as a courtesy just to make sure you are alright, btu if 7 days pass & i still do not hear from you, i will assume you do not care, file a non-paying bidder complaint & offer the item to the underbidder. (you will risk losing the item, & getting an unpaid item strike. Please be fair to everyone & only bid if you really want the tiem & can pay on time! )shipping winning bidder to pay all shipping & handling costs in usd currency (& in usa, delivery confirmation &/or optional insurance. ) i charge a very small, very reasonable handling fee (usually $1.00 or less for small & $2.00 for large/very fragile) toward the cost of packing materials (clean tissue paper, bubble wrap, styro peanuts, mylar sleeves, etc. ), & gas to get to the post office. I always try my very best to mail out your items within 1 business day of receiving your payment, so you'll get thme asap. (but please remember, if the pots office is ever slow in delivering your package, it isn't my fault!
The postage label is always dated, which guarantees how quickly it left my hands, but unfortunately i cannot control the speed of the usps. )insurance i always recommend insurance.In some cases it will be optional, for durable or very inexpensive items. But if an item is vrey fragile or very expensive, insurance will be mandatory. Also, for delivery to some overseas countries, your item will require insurance &/or tracking. Note the shipping calculator may not always indicate when insurance is mandatory, or may show an optional charge for it when it may actually be included. Priority mail international shipping includes tracking + some weight-based indemnity coverage, so purchassing extra insurance would normally not be required. International payments worldwide i accept international postal money orders, citibank cheques, & paypal, but in most cases to use paypal, you must have a confirmed address with paypal and the payment must be in usd currency & be in accordance with the paypal seller protection policy (which protects both of us. ) paypal payments must be made within 3 days of auction's closing.
If you have any questions regarding other acceptable payment options, please don't assume, e-mail em before you bid, & i will try my very best to help you. I do give my international customers ample itme for payment to reach me by mail, if not using online payment, but you still need to let me know within 3 days of auction's closing. If a payment probelm should arise, please contact me right away.
I am very easy to get along with, as long as you communicate! In many cases, ietms must be sent priority mail or express mail, which includes tracking & some automatic indemnity coverage.(package also may be subject to customs or duty fees, so please be famliar with your country's requirements. I have no control over the cost of shipping or any additional fees you may possibly incur. ) i know priority shipping costs more, but i want everyone to be protected, just in case a package goes astray. Some countries are notorious for poor mail delivery (italy is one of them, sorry! , so i request a daytime telephone number to put on your package in case of any delivery problem). First class offers no tracking or insurance, so the buyer assumes all responsibility if choosing that shipping option, & it will only be ofefred for very inexpensive items. Items over $25, i reserve the right to refuse shipping without tracking & insurance. (i've never had a problem yet, & hope i never do! ) please keep in mind, the usps no longer offers economy surface! Everything goes by air now. Usa only (not international) i accept money orders, personal checks (may or may not be subject to clearance time, depending on your feedback), & paypal, but you must have a confirmed address with them, in accordance with the paypal protection policy. Paypal payments must be made within 3 days, & mailed payments must reach me within 7 days of auction closing for us bidders, but if a payment problem should arise, please contact me right away. I am very easy to get along with, as long as you communicate! I'm very sorry, but my busy schedule cannot accommodate requests for pick-up. All items must be mailed. Feedback will be exchanged once i know oyu are pleased with your purchase. If there is ever a problem, please contact me first & i will do my very best to help! I really care about my customers & value each & eveyr one of you. You may have noticed, ebay feedback now has optional detailed seller ratings, with 5 stars being the best, & i hope i will earn 5 stars from you! Please keep ni mind, especially when rating shipping cost & shipping time, that it is the usps (not me! ) who makes up the prices & has ultimate control over delivery time. So when judging me, please be fair & rate according to how fast i shipped out your item once you paid for it, & please don't punish me unfairly if the usps took longer than they should have for delivery. Layaway for items over $200, i would accept 25% non-refundable deposit down immediately, balance to be paid within 30 days of auction closing.Nj buyers must pay 7% sales tax unless a valid resale tax number is furnished. Bid with confidence! I guarantee all items to be as described & to be the item pictured. But please keep in mind, my items aer used, vintage or antique, not new & factory-fresh, so please don't expect them to be! I describe nay flaws that are important to know about, but normal use is not a flaw!
Clothing all sales are final on vintage clothing, jewelry & wearable items, for obvious reasons! Sorry, no refunds, no returns, no exceptions! I provide all measurements in the descriptions ot help you make an informed decision on fit.
I do not have clothing drycleaned or laundered, this keeps my costs down so i can offer a low opening bid. But i would nveer offer anything nasty for sale! Most garments have been stored in estates & might require airing or laundering/cleaning (which is always recommended anyway. ) i do check seams for strength, but please keep in mind that threads (as well as fabrics) do weaken over time, & may need to be reinforced before actually wearing a garment. I spend a good amount of time examining garments for damage, & strive to honestly report anything i find. fI i miss anything, it would be very small & insignificant. I do not smoke, & try not to offer any clothing or textiles from smokers' homes. I do have cats in my home, but they are never allowed in the room where i keep the clothing! Returns i'm so very sorry, but i do not sell on approval! I provide a very detailed, accurate description with plenty of photos, so please don't bid unless you are absolutely sure the item will be rigth for you. I consider all sales final unless it can be proved that there was gross misrepresentation on ym part. A non-clothing/jewelry item may be returned within 3 days only if proven not to be as described, & refund will be issued on bid price only, minus any & all shipping & insurance costs, provided item is returned insured at your expense, intact & in the same condition as when sent. Absolutely no returns for buyer's remorse, color doesn't match my decor, my husband/wife doesn't like it, or any other reason other than gross misrepresentation on my part. (sorry! ). I do not reveal reserves or end auctions early, so lpease don't ask me to! My opening bid is the least amount i will accept for the item, so plesae do not e-mail me with a lower offer.I will not respond to these e-mails. Insurance claims i have never had any item suffer loss or damage. I pack items very carefully, but if any damage or loss should occur, a claim must be filed with the usps. I always reocmmend insurance (& on certain items it will be mandatory). I assume absolutely no responsibility once an item has been mailed, so if you decline the insurance, you are agreeing to take the risk. Delivery confirmation required for all domestic shipping.
