I offer free shipping. I use the USPS. If you want an alternative service or priority shipping when the item weighs less than a pound, you will have to ask for it and pay for additional services. Shipping time frames have changed. First class is slowing down, and this is out of my hands. So, if you want to faster, you have to pay for it. Sorry. I ship books MEDIA MAIL, NOT FIRST CLASS OR PRIORITY. Same idea applies: If you want your book faster, you must pay additional fees. On many items, Pricetronic wants the year of production. This is not possible with many vintage items. I choose a year based upon the contents of an estate or common collectible sense. I have had this drawing for a while, and I am ready to part with it. I removed the old backing because it was not acid free. The original owner said it was drawn in Oklahoma. I cannot see a date or a signature. It is nicely done. It is in fragile condition. The edges are tearing. I believe it can be framed with an acid free backing and admired again. Sold as is. 11 in x 15 in approximately. I believe it is pencil, rather than charcoal. Could be a combination.
