Description: This auction is for a vintage Vienna Bronze figure of a young bird, perhaps a sparrow. 2 1/3" from tip of beak to tip of tail. It is about 1.75" to the top of the head. It has some stampings on the underside. The 2 holes were drilled through one word, but what's left looks like "Geschutzt", which I believe is basically German for patent. Underneath that are most of the letters of "Depose" which is French for patent. There are also numbers, perhaps "1327" and maybe another after that. In the second to the last picture I show this bird with a 2.5" tall British Reka Boy Scout, that figure is shown for size reference only and is not included in this auction. In the last picture I show this figure with some other Vienna Bronzes and a large Heyde dog I have up in other auctions. I have both vintage (pre-WW2) and newer (1950's up) Vienna Bronzes. The vintage ones are in the Collectibles > Metalware > Bronze channel, the newer ones are in the Collectibles > Metalware > Other Collectible Metalware channel. Please see my other auctions and my eBay store for vintage German and other metal animals, figural desk items by Heyde and other makers, vintage toy soldiers, tin and windup toys, Marklin cannon, and vintage and out of print books on old toys. Taxes: eBay now automatically adds sales tax to your cost for items going to states that require it. eBay collects that money and remits it directly to the respective states, I never touch it. Payment: I accept all the payment methods that eBay offers. Payment is due within four days from the end of the auction. If your payment is not received within this time period the eBay automated sales tool takes over and starts hounding you. Shipping: My auctions end on Saturday. If you pay by 5:00 E.S.T. on Sunday I'll have them in the mail on Monday. Payments made later in the week or purchases made from my store are shipped as soon as I can get to the Post Office, but that can take several days and may not happen until the next Monday. I combine shipping on all purchases made and paid for at the same time (unless you're combining a book and toys as books use inexpensive media mail in the U.S. while toys can't). I use First Class (up to 16 oz) and Priority mail. Books ship media mail. I only charge actual postage - no added fees. I use lots of bubble wrap, peanuts, and good boxes. In a group of multiple pieces each item is wrapped individually. Original boxes or other original paper item go into a plastic bag in case you get delivery on a rainy day. International Shipping: I gladly ship international. Please note that there can be lengthy delays at Customs. Per eBay rules, import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges -- these charges are the buyer's responsibility. Return Policy: Returns are accepted. I use a loupe to examine the toys while I'm listing them and I try and mention the significant condition issues I see. I value my eBay reputation and I'm not knowingly going to put out false or misleading info on a toy. I leave feedback so please do the same. If there is any problem with the item contact me first before leaving feedback, and we’ll work it out.
