Frequently Asked Questions


What do we sell?
      We specialize in pre-1900 Militaria and related items, but we are constantly updating our inventory, so there's no simple answer to this question. We don't have our entire inventory listed on the website, so if you're looking for something particular, please ask -- we may have what you're looking for!
Can we tell you what your antique or collectible is worth? Will we buy it?
      We are not certified appraisers. If you have an antique you would like to offer us for sale, we may be interested in making you a fair offer, but we are not in the business of providing formal appraisals for insurance or other purposes.
How can you buy something we have for sale?
      You can purchase online by paying with a credit card via PayPal through our website. If you prefer to send a check or money order, please email us and we will hold your item(s) and make payment arrangements with you.

How do we ship your purchase?

      We normally ship with the US Post Office. Items are shipped First Class, Parcel Post, Media Mail (for books) or Priority Mail, depending on your speed and cost preferences. Insurance is optional, though recommended, for purchases under $50. For purchases over $50, we provide shipping insurance at no charge to you. Vintage ammunition ONLY ships via UPS Ground - special shipping regulations are listed on each page when relevant. We have received much positive feedback about our safe and sturdy packing practices and fully expect that you will be pleased with a safely-delivered purchase.
