Description: VINTAGE **~ COUNTERPOINT JAPAN ~** ~* FLORAL / FLOWER *~~ REFRIGERATOR MAGNET SET ~4 Small Individual Magnets w/ Original TinNO RESERVE_______________________________ SIZE: Each magnet measures: 1 1/2" x 1 & 1/2" circular ~ The tin container is 4" x 4" circular DESCRIPTION: This auction features a vintage set of "Counterpoint" magnets. There are a total of 4 small ceramic magnets, each bearing a decorative floral pattern on each (colors are orange, yellow, purple, and blue). All 4 of these magnets are held in their own little metal tin. The bottom is a lightweight metal and the top is a simple clear plastic cover. The back reads as follows: "Magnets, Made in Japan, COUNTERPOINT, San Francisco, 94103 ®." Although I did find this set intact, I do believe it was opened in the past (and I have obviously taken them out for pictures, as well!). That said, if they were used, I don't believe they were used very often. I do believe they are likely made from some type of ceramic, and do bear small pottery flecks on the backs, too. Please do view the pictures as a part of the overall description, as well. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me, and I will be happy to help! CONDITION: FAIR ~ I am considering the age and use of this item when factoring the condition rating. This magnet set appears to be in Fair condition for the age and use. As might be expected, there is some minor age and storage wear seen -- mostly in the form of minor surface scratches seen on the small metal tin. The actual magnets do appear to be doing ok -- particularly for being +/-50 years old! There is light wear seen to the backs of each. There also appears to be some tiny pottery / ceramic flecks around the outer edges on the backs, as well. Thankfully, though, the fronts on all 4 pieces do appear to doing well with no major issues. The clear plastic top piece HAS been opened, and I do think they may have been used lightly at some point in the past. There is what I believe to be some type of tape residue on the front cover. I suspect this can be gently cleaned but I will leave any cleaning to the new owner. Even so, aside from minor wear, I don't personally feel there are any major issues. I do not see any major issues that should keep them from being used or displayed. If there is anything I may have missed where the condition is concerned, please feel free to message me and I'll be happy to help. With age and use considered, I would still say this piece rates in Fair condition overall. AGE/YEAR MADE: Circa late 1960s - 1970s ——————————— ** IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PLEASE READ! **~ GENERAL ~*** I do my very best to accurately describe the items I sell her on eBay; listing their imperfections as much as their attributes. I always note flaws so there are no surprises when an item is received. The items I offer are nearly always used, though, and therefore are not in, "mint" condition. In fact, I never use the word mint to describe an item. With that said, please do not misunderstand my sometimes low opening bids. They almost never truly reflect the actual value of any item. In fact, they are priced in such a way because I like to keep with the fun and excitement of an actual auction.~ PAYMENT & SHIPPING ~*** I kindly ask that payment for purchase(s) be made within 5 days of the close of the auction. Occasionally, I will offer a "Buy It Now" option: in those cases, payment is due as soon as the "Purchase Now" button is chosen. An automatic NPB (Non-Paying Bidder) notification will be sent after the 5th day if payment is not received. Paypal is currently the only form of payment I accept. I am more than happy to combine shipping on items, please just contact me prior to the auction's end. I can then send a combined invoice which will save you some money and me some time! :) Where shipping is concerned, I do my very best to ship items within 1-2 business day after payment is received. ~ PURCHASES & RETURNS ~*** I strive to make your buying experience with me as excellent as I can. With that said, please contact me if you are unhappy! I will do everything possible to correct the problem. On nearly all of my items, if you are dissatisfied with your purchase, you are welcome to return it for a full refund within two weeks (14 days) from the day it was received. Return shipping will be paid by the buyer, though. In certain cases, I may sell an item for a close friend of family member that does not belong to me. Those are usually the only instances that I do not allow returns. I figure, if the item does not belong to me, I should allow that decision to be made by the person who does own it. ~ SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP INTERNATIONALLY! ~
