IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE SEEN THESE APRONS BEFORE YOU ARE
CORRECT, THEY WERE RECENTLY SOLD ON BOB, BUT THE BUYER
DECIDED NOT TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION AS HE FELT THE
ITEMS WERE ABLE TO BE PURCHASED ON ANOTHER AUCTION SITE
FOR A LOT LESS. NOW I MUST STATE THAT AT NO TIME IS IT MY
INTENTION TO DECEIVE THE PUBLIC WITH WHAT I SELL AND THAT IS
WHY I USUALLY BEGIN AN AUCTION WITH A LOWISH START AND NO
RESERVE, I WILL DESCRIBE AN ITEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, BUT
IT IS REALLY FOR THE BUYER TO DECIDE AND ASK QUESTIONS. I
DID HAVE A LOOK AT ANOTHER AUCTION SITE IN COMPLETED ITEMS
AND WAS AMAZED AT WHAT VERY SIMILAR ITEMS WERE FETCHING,
BUT AS THESE ARE TRADED ON OUR LOCAL MARKET, I REALISE IT
HAS NO BEARING ON THE OUTCOME WHATSOEVER. I WISH TO
EXTEND MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO THE ORIGINAL BUYER EVEN
THOUGH I THOUGHT I HAD DESCRIBED THESE ITEMS ADEQUATELY?
ANYWAY ENOUGH OF THAT..........THE ONLY WAY TO BE 100% FAIR
TO ALL SUBSEQUENT BUYERS IS TO OFFER THESE 3 LOVELY MASONIC
SASHES AND APRONS WHICH MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 36X34CM
(APRONS) TOGETHER WITH ALL THE PARAPHENALIA SEEN, A BOX CONTAINING
ASSORTED MASONIC COSTUME JEWELLERY, A BOXED TYPE OF MEDAL, LOOKS
PLASTIC WITH ACCOMPANYING RIBBON. THE RED SURROUND APRON
APPEARS TO BE A MIX OF TAFATA AND SILK WITH EMBROIDED MEDALLION
THE SAME APPEARING ON THE MATCHING SASH, AN INTERESING MEDAL
HANGS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SASH, GILT METAL. THE OTHERS APPEAR TO
BE MADE FROM TAFATA AND SIMILAR FABRIC. CONDITION IS GOOD, NO
TEARS OR DAMAGE, PERHAPS SOME AGE MARKS I DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO
DESCRIBE THEM AS, BUT THESE COULD BE PROFESSIONALY CLEANED
IF THIS IS REQUIRED IF INDEED NEEDED? ANYWAY ORIGINALLY OFFERED
AT LESS THAN R100 FOR THE SILK ONE AND R65 FOR THE OTHER TWO,
NOW ALL BEING OFFERED AT R1 NO RESERVE AND THE VERY BEST OF LUCK
TO THE WINNING BIDDER BECAUSE I THINK THESE ARE AMAZING QUALITY
MOST ESPECIALLY THE SILK ONE. POST ABOUT R30 ON THESE, R5 MORE
SHOULD THE BUYER REQUIRE FULL INSURANCE. SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS
FOR MORE GENUINE COLLECTABLES.
