Dico Perpetual Corkscrew - Listing # 1370

DESCRIPTION

Dico Perpetual Corkscrew

Offered is the Dico perpetual corkscrew made by the Diamond Instrument Co. Of Wakefield, Massachusetts. It is fully marked "/Wakefield/Mass." and "Pat. Pend." on the shank just below the handle.

The barrel is silver plated and I consider this example to be in excellent to near mint condition. This example still has the rubber protective ring on the inside-bottom of the barrel, a feature which is often missing on these pieces.

Payment, Postage and Insurance

U.S. buyers:

Payment–I prefer payment by personal check or money order. Western Union is also an alternative payment method. If you pay by check or MO, so there is no delay in getting your corkscrew(s), I will mail the package as soon as you let me know your check/MO has been mailed.

Postage–:For this item, Priority postage is a flat rate $13.50. This includes insurance up to $300 value (if desired), and Delivery Confirmation. For values over $300, please add an additional $5.55 for values up to $400; $6.50 for values $400.01 to $500; $7.45 for values $500.01 to $600, $8.40 for values $600.01 to $700 and $9.35 for values $700.01 to $800. For final values over $800, I recommend Registered Mail. I combine shipping for multiple items. Please note that once mailed, I can not be responsible for damage or loss. By bidding, buyers agree to accept all risk. In the unlikely event of a problem, I will provide insurance and postage receipts for the buyer to file the insurance claim with the post office. Please be assured, however, that I packer well, and always attach the mailing information securely to the item inside the package should it become separated.

International buyers:

Payment--I prefer payment by Western Union if possible, though I will accept Paypal. I also accept personal checks if payable in U. S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. Bank (please, NO international money orders).

Postage–Since the U.S. Postal Service offers a number of options for international postage, depending on the level of security desired and customs issues, please contact me well before the close of auction for available options and an estimate of costs. The cost of postage will include the purchase of a Certificate of Mailing. Since I can not be responsible once I have mailed the item, by bidding the bidder agrees to accept all risk of damage or loss, and that in the unlikely event of such problem, I will only be responsible for providing the buyer with the postage receipt and the Certificate of Mailing as proof the item was mailed. Please be assured, however, that I pack well, and always attach the mailing address securely to the item inside the package should it become separated.

All Buyers at end of auction:

The invoice will include all costs and payment information. I usually email invoices within 24 hours of the close of the auction.
