This was found with some other society material from Beaumont Texas, 1 or 2 items of which I may still have listed in my ebay store (subject to prior sale).This would have been just over 2 weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and less than 2 weeks after the U S Declaration of War against Germany (11 December 1941).Of course I'm sure the invitations were already in the mail when the U S declared War against Germany.Still, having a "German" (a type of dance party) in late December 1941, seems odd.Frank Williams and his Orchestra provided the musicInvitation measures 5 1/2 x 3 3/8 inches. Lacks original mailing envelope.Light soiling & creases; penciled math on the verso; still NEAR VERY GOOD_________________________________________________________________ (the fine print ... [sigh] ... but please read :-) WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT NO EXCEPTIONS.FREE SHIPPING with a stiffer piece of card stock + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE. Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #) at checkout if they choose to do so.I ship twice a week so turnover time or handling time is 3 business days (Mon-Fri) max - often less than that.Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND NOT FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT. PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS. In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
