    Product was as the seller described. It was packaged well. The Seller's communication was excellent! Shipping superb! I ordered 3 pins from three different sellers the same day. Two other sellers and this seller. This product arrived before the other sellers an on time. It was the 2nd furthest away from me. One seller took a couple of days to get the product to the Post Office. The 3rd has only created the label as of this writing. This seller is fast, efficient and a pleasure to work with.

    As Mom of bride, item is exactly what I was looking for! Packaging and shipping was first-rate, with lots of cushion and bubble wrap. I love vintage! I Item is as described and pictured. I think the value of item is very fair. I could not find any similar fancy hair combs in local area stores, so decided to try eBay. Lots of sellers of these types of items appear to drop ship from Amazon, which I don't like since I don't shop Amazon. This seller is A+++ and sells the real thing. THANKS!!
