Items purchased were vintage & in excellent condition. I have never seen delicate items such as these packed more carefully. The seller went to great lengths to ensure they arrived unbroken. The seller was very easy to work with and was a great communicator. I would buy from Scott again, without any hesitation. I wish all eBay transactions went this smoothly.
