Antique .925 Victorian "FRANK M. WHITING" Sterling Cigarette Lighter & Holder

Description: Genuine Authentic - Pre-Owned - Like NewAntique Victorian "FRANK M. WHITING" Sterling Cigarette Holder & Lighter. Stamped on both pieces “Sterling”, as you can see on the photos. Do not believe they have ever been used. No noticeable dents or issues whatsoever. I did use some silver cleaner to rub out some black toning. These can be polished much brighter. Cigarette Holder measures 3” x 2”. Lighter measures 2” x 2.25”. Note: the cigarettes in the one photo are not included. They were just for a prop for what these are designed for. Background on the Silver Maker: Frank M. Whiting Co. began making silverware in North Attleboro, Massachusetts in 1878, when it was known as Holbrook, Whiting & Albee. The company became a part of Ellmore Silver Co in about 1940, and that firm went out of business around 1960. Crown Silver Co. of New York later acquired the Whiting dies. The company mark of a griffon and a shield with a W was used up to 1896, and later a W in a circle flanked by stylized leaves. Some pattern names: Adams, Athene/Crescendo, Botticelli, Georgian Shell, Lily/Floral, Neapolitan/Kings Court, Princess Ingrid, Rose of Sharon, Talisman Rose, Troubadour and Victoria/Florence. The holder can be used to hold pretty much any small items besides cigarettes. Like pens or something. It’s just a very nice addition to your period collection. 📝 Note: Recent Estate Sale purchase. With that said, If I list an item as new sealed, it is, but I may have opened it for the purpose of taking a photo for you or verifying the product & after since it was previously purchased. I immediately seal it back with a piece of tape. On Packaging, many times the packaging may show shelf wear especially on new/old stock & just normal handling during the estate sale. Packaging is mostly intended to keep the item safe & is usually destined for the trash can once opened anyways. Slightly dinged packaging does not affect the item whatsoever.📦 Shipping is Below actual cost as always. We never over-charge or make a profit on Shipping. This is a rare issue because I go overboard on my packaging. See my feedback. 🚨 WE ONLY SHIP TO THE CONTINENTAL U.S. & ship prices are set for this. If in Puerto Rico, Alaska or any of the territories, message before buying & I will add the extra ship cost. I can’t sale a $30 item & ship to PR for $30. It’s a common sense thing. USPS prices are ridiculous. Just contact me & we will promptly get it sorted out to your liking.Thanks for Stopping By 🙂 🇺🇸 💯% GUARANTEED to perform as Advertised or Your 💵 Back 📦 Shipping below Actual Cost as Always Created with Eselt - Mobile Optimized Listing Designs for eBay Sellers Payment Ebay Managed payment settings. Local Delivery - cash or any options used online. Taxes are collected by eBay. Shipping Your item will ship as stated above & we cannot control delivery time after it’s dropped. Shipping is predominantly through USPS with some larger packages delivering through UPS. Charged fees will always be lower than actual cost & I never over-charge or make a profit on Ship Costs. Shipping charges have become ridiculously high as has everything else, Packaging materials included. I take extra time to ensure that your item will be packaged safely & arrive to you in the condition that you expect. They have at times broken something that must have taken an extreme effort to do so. I sale items obtained from estate sales with product size & weight varying widely between listings. Unfortunately the ship cost will be higher depending on weight, package size & location of course. I DO NOT OFFER INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, only eBay does this. 🚨 I only Ship to the Continental United States & *World-Wide International (This is through the ebay program). They have auto-enrolled sellers into a new international plan where we ship to a local shipping hub located in Chicago IL, USA & they handle the international shipping. Once received, they handle the shipping out of country & any returns. So my obligation is complete once it arrives at eBay. They will charge handling fees & your country may add custom fees. I have absolutely nothing to do with this & the ship charges that I post are for US only so it pays to go to Chicago. Also, Please check your tracking number periodically because I have seen some really long international delivery times. Please contact me for Alaska or any of the Territories before purchase. I can ship to you but the EXTRA SHIP COST is on the buyer. I will never charge more than actual cost, however, I can’t for instance sale a $50 item & pay $95 to ship it. I will have to cancel any orders when the package weighs too much, normally a pound or more, so please understand & don’t ding my feedback when it’s right here in print. If I cancel, I will message you, explain why & provide you with the proper ship cost. Then you can re-purchase it if you wish. 🚨 Most important either way, I will NEVER Over-Charge or make profit on shipping. Returns 1st of all, if there is ever an issue, simply message me & I Guarantee to satisfactorily fix it. Returns are Free for 30 day’s if the item was not described correctly or is not functional. Buyer is responsible on other type of returns so please read the description & check out the photos carefully to make a decision on size, style etc. As you can see on my items, I provide detailed descriptions & multiple clear photos so the you can easily decide if the item is what you want. My prices are also very fair. My list price is reflective of recent sold price’s & current trending price’s coupled with what I have in it & eBay selling fees & shipping cost in mind. The vast majority are priced at the lower average & at or below what the same item has sold for reflective of condition. On make offer listings I will always sale at fair market prices. I list so low with such a minimum mark-up that I would lose so much money if people casually bought something without checking out the provided info to just get it & it not fit or work for there needs & return it if I just paid for every random return. Luckily, I have only had 1 return over 18 + years selling online. However, every case is different so please advise me of any problems & I will respond quickly & fairly. Item must be in the same condition as when received & all accessories must be returned.THE INSURANCE WORKS BOTH WAYS. I can file,or you can file. If damaged during delivery, notification must be made to us within 48 hours. 🚨 I will need photos of the broken item & the PACKAGE, especially in the area where the damage occurred. Insurance I pay for works both ways. Or You can file it when you drop the package off & it is fast & easy, about 5 minutes or less. USPS will require the package with item to be taken to your local post office. I obviously cannot do this since I am hundreds of miles away. We will work it out promptly. If they pay you back, you will also get the extra postage I paid for. Either way, just contact me & we will get it fixed to your satisfaction. Contacting me after 48 hours of receipt does not qualify for refund for damages. And waiting a week & not having the shipping package really won’t work. It’s hard enough dealing with the USPS insurance carrier as it is. I will also need full name, phone number & your email address. It’s what they require. I package very well & have only had 2 packages damaged over a 19 year period. These polices are pretty straight forward to help both of us. If you disagree on anything here, please do not purchase my item. International buyers - I do not individually offer this service. The eBay International Program handles all shipping out of country & I just ship to them in Chicago. eBay handles these returns but still contact me & let me see what I can do. Ultimately, you will have to contact eBay since they handle those returns. Other FEEDBACK - is very important to me. If for any reason that you cannot provide full 5 Star Feedback, then I haven’t done my job. Please contact me so that I can have the opportunity to address & correct any issues to your satisfaction. Please remember that Shipping Feedback is for the Seller getting the item to the Post Office on time & Not the USPS Delivery Time. I use ALL of my discounts from (see my badge, (they won’t let me spell it out) towards my customers ship costs. So even 4 star rating hurts. Please give me that chance to deliver to you the full 5 Star Service. I don’t know if I am not told. It also gives me an opportunity to change if I goof, but I need to know. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY - All items have a Guarantee / Return Policy, 30 days that will be listed on that particular item. Unless otherwise specified in a listing, there are no warranties given or expressed on any item from me. Manufacturer warranties may be listed if one is printed on the product but it is up to the individual company whether or not they will honor such warranty. Some will do so by saving your invoice from us & some won’t. We are not the authorized representative of any company so we cannot guarantee any product warranties. Also, you should be aware that we sale some items that are New / Old stock & the manufacturer may not be in business any longer, has merged and / or changed names since the product was introduced years ago. TRADEMARKS & COPYRIGHTS - We're not affiliated with nor endorsed by the companies mentioned in this listing. All trademarks and copyrights are acknowledged, they are only used for informative description of the items offered for sale. All items are authentic as evidenced in photos, legally acquired & owned. As the the legal owner of said item, I am protected by the “First Sale Doctrine (17 U.S.C. § 109(a)). I’m going to stop here because Big companies such as eBay, HP & many others are going to do whatever they wish to do with there so called policies trumping common sense as well as federal law. So just do what you must. CONDITION / DESCRIPTION - The photos should be considered 90%+ of the items Description. I provide many focused & well lit photos from all angles so that you can enlarge & view the item as good as you could in person. Condition - Mint (Used) - Mint items are in essentially new original condition but may have been opened or slightly used. New items are New with possible handling marks on the cardboard box that in no way affects the product. Most items are New, from estate sales & will be New old stock & items listed as sealed are indeed sealed. However, I may for the purpose of verification & / or to provide you the customer actual photos of said item, open for the sole purpose of photographing & then immediately replace the item back as it was, to let you see it and not just photograph a box or use only stock photos (which many asked me to do in the past). Depending on the item, it’s usually sealed inside the box anyways. On containers with liquids. I will check pesticides / insecticides to ensure the bottle is sealed. Same on cleaning products. At times when a product sits for a while, the seal may harden & simply pop off during these checks. Some of the common cleaners where the liquid can be seen & are relatively safe, I don’t remove the cap since the seal will usually pop off and just be up in the cap. INFORMATION - As you can see by most of my listings, I do a lot of research to provide you with as much details as possible to enable you to make a decision if my item will suit your needs. I try not to just post a one liner unless it is a very very common product that all of us know about. I used to sure hate looking for something that I need & having to spend half of my Saturday clicking all over the internet trying to find details. So I spend hours searching, reading, pasting & providing you as much as I can. I feel that I owe this to you because without you, I have no business. I am going to have to move quicker on some of the common cheaper stuff soon. I can’t keep spending 3 hours on a $15 item that I may make $3 profit in but I’m going to try as time permits. I sure appreciate being thanked for this from my customers. That’s worth more to me than what I made money wise. 😊 🚨BOTTLES WITH LIQUIDS: hey, if it’s full, near the top, it’s full. Go to Walmart & scan a section of liquids & you will see varying differences in the fill level of the small neck with a tolerance of about an inch. Machines filling these are not perfect. Please don’t ding my feedback for an inch of liquid missing. Thats only like 1 or 2 cap fills, who can clean something with that? I can’t certify if someone opened & sniff checked the bottle before it was purchased at Walmart & maybe spilling a cap full. We’ve all done it & we see it done all the time. I bet you if the liquid is poured into a measuring cup, it will be dead on or very very close.😑 I am only going to list it if the item fully checks out by using common sense. About once or twice a year, I get the (I WANT A DISCOUNT) message that an inch is missing, holding my feedback over my head. I am listing these very low with very little profit margin & if the product doesn’t look right, I don’t list it. Period… please don’t hit me on a $19 item for an inch missing or a seal that comes off with the opening of the cap that I only made $3 profit on. I’m doing this mainly for something to do & to help people out by offering quality products at super great prices. From now on, I will have anyone that says an inch is missing simply return it & they can just find it somewhere else for $8 more & 6” missing. 🤣 All photos will be of the actual item with stock photos used only sparingly & I will mention when this is done. Many customers have mentioned this to me when I listed in the past that they would prefer to see actual photos of the item. I photo the seal & liquid level when possible. And again, these durn seals sometimes come off when checking the bottles & it will be stuck up in the cap.
