Description: *****THIS ITEM SHIPS TO ALL COUNTRIES SERVED BY THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM!***** *****SPECIAL NOTE: EBAY is now charging sales tax on all in state purchases and on many--if not all--out of state purchases. Please refer to the eBay Sales Tax Policy for more details.***** Greetings and best wishes from Mr.Allied and welcome to my sale! Please have confidence in my 100% honest descriptions and please read the following carefully: Even though I quote "flat rate" shipping, I am more than happy to combine shipping of multiple items and to discount the total shipping charges, when feasible. To take advantage of this, simply put multiple items in your cart, buy them, but DO NOT pay for them until I send you a combined invoice.This is an Original, "Buddy L Lines" 5/8" Scale, "Ride-On" Toy Locomotive & Tender, Produced by The Master Craftsmen of The Moline Pressed Steel Company of East Moline, Illinois, Circa 1927 or so. This MASSIVE & very heavy toy is made of heavy gauge pressed steel and was meant for a child to sit on and ride, being rolled by "scooting" it with their feet. The locomotive & tender together measure approx. 43" long and weigh approx. THIRTY POUNDS! This particular example has spent its entire live in Southern California and shows very little rust, most of which is surface rust. It is a prime specimen for a restoration. The pilot or "cow catcher" is bent, as is the cab roof. However, I am quite sure that one of you talented folks out there can make short order out of straightening these areas.Replacement couplers are available, as are replacement Buddy L decals. Other than the above description, I am selling this loco & tender based ENTIRELY on the photos, so please look them over carefully. These old eyes don't see like they used to, so I ask that you take the time to "ZOOM IN" and look the photos over very closely, to determine for yourself just what we have here. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PHOTOS ARE AN INTEGRAL and a VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS LISTING. You NEED to "ZOOM IN" and STUDY the photos very carefully. What you see is what you get. I am selling this Very Old Buddy L Loco & Tender "as-is, as-found." Please look the photos over VERY carefully and ask any questions you may have, BEFORE you make your purchase. BUYER PAYS $100.00 FOR EXPERT PACKING & FLAT RATE SHIPPING IN THE LOWER 48 UNITED STATES! IMPORTANT! THIS IS HOW I SELL ON EBAY--PLEASE READ:1. On most all of my listings, I offer FREE SHIPPING, within the lower 48 States. Sometimes, shipping to Alaska or Hawaii will also be free, but many times, on larger or heavier items, I may charge shipping to those states. I most always use either USPS Priority Mail, First Class or FedEx Home Delivery. Please note that when I offer free shipping, the choice of carriers is MINE, regardless of what is noted in a particular listing. Your purchase will be PACKED WITH CARE, by someone who has been packing and shipping delicate items for over 50 years. And, your shipment will be FULLY INSURED, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU! All shipments valued at $200.00 and over will require a signature when delivered.2. I've been around for a while--a LONG while--and I have dived into my last dumpster looking for shipping cartons! So, I purchase brand new, 200# test, shipping cartons and I use anti-static, 100% BIODEGRADABLE, environmentally friendly, loose fill packing material--MOST OF THE TIME. I say "most of the time," because I will, on some occasions, ship in previously used cartons and I may reuse other types of packing materials, which best suit the item(s) being shipped. I sometimes use USPS Priority Mail shipping cartons as well. 3. I ship to all countries served by the eBay Global Shipping Program. I will NOT ship internationally on my own, sorry.4. If you are buying for resale and have a valid resale permit, YOU need to contact eBay. Here is what eBay says: "eBay's Buyer Exemption Program for Sales Tax: If you are a tax exempt buyer, we have a buyer exempt system that allows you to submit sales tax exemption certificates to eBay and make purchases without paying sales tax." Please understand that sellers cannot help you with this, YOU must contact eBay to set this up.5. If you have a problem with something you buy from me, PLEASE contact me at once, so we can try and resolve the matter. It is my goal to have all my buyers be TOTALLY SATISFIED and HAPPY with their purchases. I want to EARN positive feedback from you, along with 5 Star Customer Service.
