1954 VTG ARTLEY SILVER PLATE PICCOLO with HARD CASE & CANVAS BAG SERIAL #169600
1954 VTG ARTLEY SILVER PLATE PICCOLO with HARD CASE & CANVAS BAG SERIAL #169600
This Mid Century Vintage Silver Plate Piccolo with Hard Case & Canvas Bag was made in Elkhart, Indiana by Artley in 1954 according to the Serial #169600.  The hard velvet lined case is 9 3/4” long, 2 7/8” wide and 1 3/4” thick, and the 2 piece Piccolo is 12 1/2” long when put together. It looks to be in very good vintage condition, all the levers/buttons work as designed to, the pads are fairly clean looking and not obviously in need of repair, but I neither know how to play one of these nor how to truly test its condition, so I am selling it in AS IS condition, if you have any specific questions or concerns please ask before bidding. I have many other unique Antique and Vintage Collectible items listed on Ebay right now including other Antique and Vintage Musical Collectibles, so please be sure to check them all out.
A Message to all my Valued Ebay Followers:  I wanted to assure any who are considering making a purchase with me, at this time I am healthy and sheltered in place and at very low risk of exposure.  I hope and trust we will all choose to be safe and smart so that we not only protect ourselves but those we love and care for, or those who we don't know but who love and care for someone else - we are all connected somehow.

PAYMENTS
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
Your payment is due within 7 days unless previous arrangements have been made - I send an email invoice separate from what ebay sends you, shortly after your purchase is made that includes your total due and with my shipping schedule for the week. I would greatly appreciate getting a response from you within 24 hours of the sale that you have received my invoices and payment has either been made or is scheduled.
Your item will be mailed to you through USPS usually within 3-5 business days once your cleared payment has been received, sometimes sooner depending on my schedule that week. I charge a minimum handling fee on all my items and I add the cost of insurance in my handling fee for any item selling for more than .00 or that is considered Fragile. Once I have shipped your item off I will notify you with an email after I get back from town that your item is on its way and provide you with the tracking #, and I will leave feedback for you at this time. Once you have received your item safely I would greatly appreciate hearing from you that all is well - if you have any problems or issues at all, please contact me directly so that I can find a resolution for you.
For All INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - For most of my listings I use the Global Shipping Program.  I am willing to ship International without this to most countries - if this would be your preference just ask, but Proof of Delivery or Tracking is NOT available with 1st Class International so I do not offer it on any of my items. All Import duties, Taxes, or any other possible charges at your end are not included in the item price or my shipping charges, these are your responsibility and by placing your bid on my item you are agreeing to these terms.
