Payments – All payments are appreciated immediately after purchase. If you are unable or can not pay right away, please let us know when and how your payment will be made.
Ending Listings Early - All my items listed in eBay are also for sale in our antique shop. If an item sells in my shop we will end the listing in eBay as quickly as possible, so listings may end early and without notice.
Local Pick-Up – You may pay for and pick-up your item from our antique shop located in Lebanon, IL just 30 minutes east of St. Louis, MO. If you choose this option, please contact us right away after the sale of the item so we can ensure a smooth pick-up for you.
Sales Tax – All items shipping to an Illinois address will include Illinois State and local sales taxes totaling 7.35% (before shipping charges).
Payments with PayPal are Preferred!
Combined Shipping ? Yes, we combine and discount shipping for multiple items as long as they are paid for on one invoice. If you buy multiple items, please wait to pay until you receive the invoice outlining any combined shipping discount.
Shipping Charges ? Sometimes eBay?s shipping calculator can run a little high, or we overestimate the final shipping weight of an item, so the invoiced shipping comes out a bit high. We are not in the business of making money on shipping so after we wrap, pack, box, weigh and ship your item, we will refund any shipping & handling charges over the actual shipping & handling costs. That is just the right thing to do 
Wrapping & Packing ? Please rest assured that we wrap and pack things with love and care, just as we would like to receive the package ourselves.
FREE SHIPPING! ? You can pay for and pick-up your item for FREE at our shop located in historic downtown Lebanon, Illinois 62269. We do not charge a pick-up fee. We are open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm.
SHIPPING OF LOCAL PICK-UP ITEMS ? If you wish to buy an item that is listed as Local Pick-Up only, and you are not able to actually pick it up, you must make all arrangements to have the item picked up from our shop and have it wrapped, packed and shipped at your own cost from the shipping company of your choice. PLEASE GET YOUR SHIPPING QUOTES BEFORE YOU BID OR BUY. You may already have a shipping company, but if you do not, we recommend using Pak Mail in Swansea, IL. Please call Tess or Craig at (618) 277-4884 and let them know you need a quote for an item shipped from Aunt Bea?s Antiques and they will give you a shipping quote. You will need the items dimensions and weight; that information is in the item description.
Please get your shipping quote before you bid or buy!Buyers are responsible for obtaining their own quotes and making all of their own shipping arrangements.Unless other arrangments are made, all shippments and pick-ups must be made within 10 days after the item is purchased.
NON-US SHIPPING ? We ship worldwide and to APO/FPO addresses. If the item is not a local pick-up item, please email me for a shipping estimate before you bid. I ship only via Insured Priority U.S. Mail to non-US addresses and to APO/FPO. I know this is expensive, sorry, but it protects you, protects me and protects the item. If the item is a local pick-up item, please see the information above about making pick-up and shipping arrangements with the carrier of your choice.
INSURANCE ? Insurance is included in the shipping & handling costs for any fragile or high value items. We will insure items if they are fragile or cost $25 or more. Damage to our shippments are very rare, though if it does happen, we work through our insurance carrier for all claims. We will help with all the paperwork.
Zero (0) Feedback / Low-Feedback Bidders – Due to an increase in non-paying zero feedback eBayers, I am forced to cancel bids on any of my items with buyers with LOW FEEDBACKS (5 or less). BEFORE you bid, please send me an e-mail regarding the item you wish to bid on, as well as your name, address and phone number and someone from my shop will call and verify your interest in the item so your bid will not be canceled.
Returns – We provide very accurate details in our descriptions coupled with lots of photographs of each item to buyers as much information possible to make the most informed purchase decision possible. However, should an item turn out to be grossly not as described, I will gladly accept the return of the item and issue a full refund, including shipping costs both ways. All I ask is for you to contact me as soon as possible before leaving feedback and we will work out the details.
Thank you,~Aunt Bea
My Guarantee:My family and I have been collecting various treasures for years, as our parents did and their parents did before them. Nowadays, we run a small antique shop in the heart of the historic district in Lebanon, Illinois, the home of the Mermaid House, where Charles Dickens once stayed.
We believe in treating everyone fairly and offer a variety of goods at a fair price. Though we are not experts in any particular field of collecting, however, we have a pretty good eye and we describe each listing to the best of our ability. We do our very best to list every detail about an item and have enough pictures for a customer to get a great view of the item from just about every angle, as if you are actually holding it in your own hands. We will not intentionally misrepresent any part of an items description; if we see a crack, nick, chip, scratch, or any distractions of note, we will clearly list it in the item description and try to get a close up picture of it too. However, we are human and subject to err as humans do. So, if you find that we missed a flaw or were mistaken about an item, I will happily give you a full refund (including return shipping) upon return of the item in the same condition as it was sent by us within a reasonable amount of time. All we ask is that you allow us to make it right before you leave anything but positive feedback :)

You’re bidding on an interesting little Daily Planner from the New York Underwriters Insurance Company in 1941.
I found this little book, buried in the wall of an old Victorian house I’m rehabbing. It‘s from a New York Insurance Company for the year 1941. It’s similar to many contemporary “pocket” planners, which are given out as promotional gifts every year.
The company that distributed the planner is:
New York Underwriters Insurance Company
90 John Street, New York
Under Management of A. & J. H. Stoddart
Established 1864.
The first couple of pages provide areas for personal data. Then there’s the obligatory information; distances between American cities, census information, postal information (2 cents for a first class letter!), weights & measures, Presidential information (FDR is the last entry), etc, etc. The balance of the book is a fairly standard, daily planner.
The entire planner is void of any personal notes except for what seems to be a time schedule, penciled in on the memoranda page. Obviously, this planner was used once & discarded. I can’t imagine why or how it ended up inside a wall! The cover seems to be made of a type of ridged, laminated fabric. The back of the cover has a very nice embossed logo.
Overall, the book is in good condition. The cover is a bit worn & slightly curled due to moisture. However the pages are very clean & only slightly yellowed. None of the pages are tattered, bent or ripped. The pocket sized book is 2 5/16” x 4 3/16” x ½” thick.
In researching these two companies, I discovered nothing specific. The only reference I could find was in relation to the building at 90 John Street. Based on the predominance of insurance companies, Johns Street was once referred to as “Insurance Row”. The building at 90 Johns Street was built in 1931 & originally called the “Joseph Neumann Building”. Recently, this same building was converted to (so called) luxury apartments.
This would be a great little collectible for any history buff.

AUCTION POLICIES also known as the f i n e p r i n t . . . . .
By placing a bid on the above item, you are agreeing to all the terms and conditions listed below.
LISTING INFORMATION I always endeavor to describe and illustrate an item to the best of my ability. This is every seller’s responsibility. The item you see in the photo(s) is exactly what you will receive, as described in the listing. On the other hand, it is every buyer’s responsibility to ask the questions. Never assume anything. If after reviewing ALL the information provided, you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Remember . . . . an accepted bid constitutes a final sale. Consequently, all sales are final. So please ask your questions early and bid responsibly.
BIDDING TIPS I deal primarily in unique, family and found items. Every item is thoroughly inspected and researched. Typically, I’ll list an item twice in consecutive auctions. The initial listing will reflect an even numbered, starting bid. When ever an item is listed a second time, eBay’s re-listing fee is added to the starting bid. If an item does not sell after the second auction has ended, I return it to inventory and it goes to the back of the line. Ultimately, most (unsold) items will be listed again; but it might be months before my inventory has fully recycled. Therefore, it’s always to your advantage, to bid on an item during its initial offering. Of course . . . . this is just a suggestion.
COMMUNICATION Contact between eBay members is fundamental. Unfortunately, eBay’s email system is unreliable & difficult to use. To guarantee a response, I suggest that you include an alternate email address with your message. I check my email several times a day & promise to respond to all questions within 24 hours. Remember to ask your questions early, so I can reply before the auction ends. Also, if you have any payment questions or shipping preferences, you should email me before or immediately after the auction has ended. I ask this as a simple courtesy.
PAYMENT Online payments are preferred through Paypal. I will send an invoice to the winning bidder, within 12 hours of the auction’s conclusion. Payment is due within 5 days of the auctions conclusion. We’re all expected to play by the rules. If you choose to renege on your commitment, I will immediately file a Non-Paying Bidder Complaint with ebay. The item will then be re-listed and negative feedback will submitted on your behalf. An Unpaid Item Strike will adversely affect your feedback score & hinder your ability to buy & sell on ebay. For this reason, it is to your advantage to bid responsibly & remit payment promptly. Of course, honesty is the best policy. If you have payment issues or questions, email me & we’ll work on an agreeable resolution. Sorry, NO personal checks will be accepted. Obviously, an instant or rapid payment, results in a quicker turn around. Items are shipped per the payment date & NOT the day the auction concluded. International buyers welcome per the shipping proviso below.
SHIPPING Domestic Shipping: Within the Continental United States, I prefer to ship via the U.S. Postal Service. For larger items, I can ship via United Parcel Service or FedEx. The size and weight of the item will determine which service I use. If the purchaser has a shipping preference, they should contact me immediately before or after the auction has ended. I will gladly combine shipping if more than one item is purchased consecutively. The purchaser is responsible for ALL shipping & handling charges. Insurance is required for all items. I will typically add $3 – $5 per parcel, for handling (possibly more, depending on the size of the item). This nominal (handling) charge simply helps to defray the cost of packing materials, my time and effort. I can normally ship within 3 – 5 business days of receipt / confirmation of payment. Once an item leaves my hands, after your payment is confirmed, shipping time is out of my control. As you know, the U.S. Postal Service is notoriously slow, so please don’t email me until the estimated shipping time has lapsed. (Note: Choosing Priority Mail will reduce shipping time by several days. Parcel Post can take up to 15 business days.) International Shipping: For smaller items, less than 12 ounces (shipping weight), I may consider Priority Mail International. International buyers must contact me prior to submitting a bid, to confirm that I offer shipping to their location. Also, I’d be more than happy to allow an international buyer to bid on any item, provided they can provide a U.S. mailing address.
FEEDBACK is the benchmark by which all ebay users are judged If you are happy with your purchase after you receive it, please submit a positive feedback for me on eBay. Once I receive yours, I will respond in kind.
