501st Transportation Co. Stein 2 1/2 Ton Truck Lid Mannheim Germany SGT Potter
This listing is for a wonderful, unique stein inscribed to SGT Frank P. Potter, 501st Transportation Company, Roadmasters Mannheim Germany 1959-1960. The china portion of the stein is approximately 6 5/8" tall; measured with the metal lid in place, the stein is approximately 8 3/8" tall. The lid features a 2 1/2-Ton truck (deuce-and-a-half). The metal lid has some pitting on the inside. I have seen no chips, cracks, or flakes. The bottom of the stein has a risque lithophane. This unique stein would make an excellent addition to your collection.
I appreciate that buyers would like to buy for the best price possible, but half-price offers are never considered or acknowledged. Thanks for understanding.
Items can only be mailed to the address shown on the payment.
I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but this is an ebay rule, not me trying to be difficult.  If you wish to have the package sent to a different address, please contact me BEFORE paying and I will try to assist you.
I combine shipping whenever possible.  "Like items" ship well together.  Books and breakables do not.  Only items that meet the stringent regulations of the Post Office can travel by Media Mail.  If you wish to have items combined into one package, then ONE Paypal payment must be made.  Multiple Paypal payments means multiple packages--again, it's a Paypal rule, not me being difficult.
We are not set up for pick-up.  We've tried it in the past and had too many "no shows".  Our schedules can be erratic, so please allow us to mail your package.
This is a non-smoking home; however, most of my items are antique or vintage and have been purchased at estate sales and auctions.
I'm sorry, but
I am not aware of how the item has been stored or used before I received it.
I frequently get asked about odors.  I have a fairly "sensitive" nose
-- if an item has a
disagreeable
fragrance, that information will be included in the description.
Ebay automatically adds sales tax when they deem it is appropriate -- I have no control over it.
I try very hard to please all of my buyers.  Please understand that delivery times and the cost of shipping are beyond my control.  These are controlled entirely by the Post Office, UPS, and FedEx.  Your rating will be for me, not one of these agencies. If you do not feel that you can give all 4's or 5's on the DSR's, please contact me with your concerns BEFORE leaving feedback.  Low ratings affect my income -- it only takes 3 1's or 2's in any category within a 3 month period (regardless of the volume of sales) to lower my standing.  Please do not cost me money because of frustration with the continuously increasing rates from the PO.  Most of my items are not listed with shipping included (unfortunately, there's no such thing as "free" shipping).  Please do not rank my stars low because I charge for shipping and some sellers do not. I do not make a profit on the shipping.
