Description
From Mendel Petersons collection an interesting English pop ? bottle with a glass stopper inside to keep the contents pressurized ? – I’m guessing here. Mendel was diving near St. Croix in 1973 with Brett Gilliam when this was recovered – see condition above.  Mendel Peterson was well known in his field of underwater archaeology and worked at the Smithsonian Institution here in Washington D.C. for years.  Still unsure (?), see my feedback. Free fully insured shipping to the USA. $26.95 uninsured shipping to countries I ship to, with proof of mailing –
I no longer ship to Italy (unless we have done business before) or China
.   I have been in this business for 50+  years and have thousands of positive feedbacks dating back to 1998, bid with confidence.  If paypal is a problem let me know and we’ll work something out.  I combine lots to save shipping costs, thank you for looking & good luck.  mp1992gbabylot
Payment
Paypal is ok, as are other forms of payment (inquire).  If you need a little time to pay, please let me know up front so I won’t file a non-payment claim against you.
Shipping
Shipping costs are generally in the lot description. I use a secure “Safety Mailer” to ship a small number of coins, and a larger padded envelope or priority flat rate boxes for quantity lots. I don’t gouge on shipping but I charge a wee bit over the actual postage to cover these costs and cover the 13.5% commission that eBay and PayPal charge me for shipping. I sometimes refund some shipping in cash if I can (if I like your profile & feedback).. I sometimes ship to countries not listed, please email me to confirm.
Terms of Sale
We would all like to be paid a nanosecond after the auction closes, however if you need a little time let me know. If you would like to wait after winning a lot & combine it with an upcoming lot (saves shipping) let me know. If you want to pick up lots locally (and save shipping) let me know. I accept alternative payment venues to Paypal & sometimes share the savings, email if you need to. I am easy to do business with – I make any mistakes or errors good.
Unfortunately I block bidders that I feel uncomfortable doing business with (unfair feedback, unreasonable returns, fraudulant undelivered lot claims, ect.).
I share blocked bidder lists with other dealers.
