Shipping
:
FREE
DOMESTIC shipping. We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders UNLESS BUYER SPECIFICALLY REQUESTS THIS AND WE ARE ABLE to provide an insurance estimate. It is becoming increasingly difficult to insure international orders and the price can exceed the price of the item, which can negate the sale. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
These old calendar plates are always a favorite with antique collectors as
1) they always have advertising on them,
2) have colorful scenes, pictures, designs, logos on them,
and
3) are dated so it takes the guesswork out of wondering how old they are
which is a
HUGE PLUS
as one of the first and foremost hardships in dealing in antiques is being able to date them, especially right down to the very year as these are dated.
Note that the plate has
L. L. HASKINS
on it.  A look into an early day Polk City Directory from this part of North Dakota would tell who Haskins was, what and where their business was, and document this plate in history.
Antique plates like this with the '
Compliments of ...
' were likely given out to celebrate the opening of a store or business, to commemorate the existence of the business, or even given out to loyal customer's when they paid off their credit.
What a great old piece,
super rustic looking
