You need gifts; I need to buy gifts - maybe we can help each other out here a bit?!

Yep, here are a small selection from my overflowing comb collection. I don?t use these - and I do use my combs, they don?t sit and vegetate. So they need homes where they are far better appreciated.

Maybe yours? Maybe someone on your gift list who has the good taste to know that the beautiful objects from our ancestors? times still possess the ability to enhance our lives, as well.

Please PM with your interests - I go on a ?first come/first served? basis. It?s as fair as I?ve been able to make it. I do my best to make this as fair as humanly possible. I want everyone happy with their experiences here on LHC?s Swap Board.

Paypal is the preferred payment method and, as my special gift to you for this Holiday, shipping within the U.S. is FREE! I will consider international sales, but can?t mail them off for free and it has been my experience that there are often problems this time of year with the customs. Though more often with our Homeland Security than other country?s (tell the story of a wonderful hot chocolate mix from a Rotterdam friend that ended up ripped open and poured all over the other contents of the box?.).

Please ask any questions you might have. Hope there?s something here that catches the eye and ignites the pocketbook! ;o)
