How many of these throwaway items survived? Here's some info on the auction house: Auction house at Wellington Street from 1864 to 1917. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Sotheby's was the leading auction house for books and manuscripts. From 1886 they held sales of the famous (and enormous) collection created by Sir Thomas Phillipps. Other important sales of medieval manuscripts in this period included the sale by Henry Yates Thompson of the Ashburnham Appendix collection in 1899 and that of the rest of Lord Ashburnham's collection in 1901. Sales at Sotheby's set British auction records. These probably included the sale of the manuscript now known as the Rothschild Canticles in 1903 for £2,500. This is an ORIGINAL item, NOT A REPRODUCTION item! Postage information is listed at the bottom-$ 6.95 postage is required. Payment We accept Paypal payments. Shipping We will try and combine shipping on multiple purchases wherever possible. Please e-mail us with auction item numbers before sending payment. However, if the items are heavy or require special packing / tracking, the postal rates might not be significantly reduced. We no longer ship overseas first class mail. We will only ship Internationally by Priority Mail, and that starts at $30.00. So please be aware that we NO LONGER SHIP FIRST CLASS MAIL INTERNATIONALLY unless seller agrees to ship by USPS Priority mail at an increased rate. Postage rates are non-negotiable and non-refundable. We pack every item professionally using new packing materials and appropriate mailing supplies. We send all items via US Postal Service.The U.S.Postal service rates change fairly regularly every year and we don't make money on postage like some other ebay sellers. I think you'll find that we're quite fair. Thank-you! Terms of Sale I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item. The standard sized Lincoln head penny in the photograph is there for size comparison ONLY and is not included in the package. We're just trying to help you figure out how big the item is. We try and always be as accurate as we can in the item description and will gladly answer any question about item size & description when needed. Please e-mail us with any questions BEFORE the end of sale and BEFORE placing a bid. Postage is determined by the U.S. Postal service and is never refundable. Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago. So if you intend on using the old item, please be aware that we are selling it for collector value only. In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don't get mad at us. It may be hard to believe, but we have received a couple negatives because people broke vintage items while trying to use them.
