Description
One of several belt buckles I am listing today...This one is for an Ettore-Bugatti belt buckle hat shows a vintage car with number 57 below it.  It has a bronze color to it (but I am not sure of exact metal).  It does show some wear, oxidation & discoloration in spots on the front.  There are scratches on the back.  It is just as found & has obviously been used. While I do not know the exact age I was told it is at least 25 years old.  On the back it is marked "G-38" on the bottom & to the right of that there is a circle with a lot of what I guess are script letters inside of it (though I'm not sure what that represents).  In the very center where the front & the buckle connect there is a circle with a head in it & writing on eithere side that, again, I cannot make out.  It measures about 4" across x 3" top to bottom.  Great collectible for that car enthusiast!
PLEASE NOTE: Win multiple auctions, save on shipping BUT please do NOT send payment UNTIL I have sent an invoice to you or you will NOT receive the discount!
Please also note:  I have absolutely NO control over how much an item costs to ship to you! That is based solely upon weight, zone & is determined by the USPS!! I wish the costs were lower & if they were in my control, they would be but it has NOTHING to do with me. Nor do I have any control over how long it takes the post office to get it from my location to yours!! It is ALL the USPS!! Anyone who shipped holidays gifts to friends/loved ones across the US or abroad should completely understand this!! I do NOT charge a handling fee! I base my shipping costs on the weight of the package & Auctiva/Ebay computes it based upon my zip code to yours! There is absolutely NOTHING I can do about those charges or the time it takes to arrive!
Payment
Please send payment within 4 days of auction ending.  Please note ebay allows payment through PayPal only.  Sorry!  I try to ship within 2 days of CLEARED payment...e-checks will not ship until they have cleared.
New York State residents must pay sales tax on all purchases unless they have a valid resale certificate.  Sorry NO exceptions!
Shipping
Please note that while I offer foreign shipping, it is A GREAT DEAL MORE THAN DOMESTIC SHIPPING so check cost either through the shipping calculator or by e-mailing me before you bid! I don't set the prices I just go by what the USPS says..sorry! Also, I do not lie on customs forms, please do not ask me to, it is not worth it to either of us!!
Unfortunately, I can only control the time it takes me to pack the item & bring it to the PO; I have ABSOLUTELY NO control over the time it takes the PO to get it to you! Even ebay states (in very gray inoccuous print:) "Sellers are not responsible for service transit time. This information is provided by the carrier and excludes weekends and holidays. Note that transit times may vary, particularly during peak periods." So please keep that in mind, if your package is slow to arrive or does not meet the guestimated time the PO says it should take to get from my PO to you. If you have any concerns, feel free to e-mail me & we'll work together with the PO to figure out where the package may be (they have a better tacking system than the online one & will work with the shipper)
Terms of Sale
Please note that the winning buyer is responsible for shipping.  Please also note that foreign bidders are solely responsible for all their country customs duties & fees.

Please ask questions before you bid.  Please honor your bid.
Hope you check out my other auctions & bid with confidence.  Thanks for making ebay a pleasurable, fun experience!  Good Luck if you bid!
