antique cast iron train car Welker & Crosby gondolas 1890

There are paint smears on one gondola, otherwise all original. These gondolas are appropriate with the Welker & Crosby loco we have listed separately.
Condition: Antique items are typically not mint. They likely have signs of wear and possible flaws.  Please view photos carefully to make your own determination of the condition.
Combined Purchases: We will combine multiple purchases won on the same day to save you postage. DO NOT pay the individual automatic eBay invoice. Wait until we pack your items together, get a weight, and send you an invoice for the total.
For multiple purchases we charge actual postage. We do not charge for handling or packing materials.
The shipping price listed is our best estimate before the item is packed. With postal regulations calculated by size as well as weight, it's difficult to make an accurate estimate of shipping cost on larger items. If there's a difference of more or less than the quote for postage, we will issue a refund or notify you of the additional cost due..
Please contact me if there is an issue. Things happen. I'm honest, but I'm not perfect. And neither is the USPS. So if there are any issues with the transaction or the merchandise you receive, please contact me before leaving feedback or opening a case. I'm pretty easy to get along with and I ask that you be the same. Try working with me before resorting to the bureaucracy. My feedback should pretty much tell the story. This is a part time business. Please be patient and allow time for responses and feedback. I can be a little slow sometimes, if real life intrudes, but I generally turn things around pretty quick (within a day) and I always try to take care of my customers. Check my feedback.
