Dept 56 Williamsburg Village TALIAFERRO-COLE HOUSE, 4018969, NEW IN BOX

Description: PRODUCT DETAILS From Department 56's limited Williamsburg Village Department 56, in conjunction with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, introduced this collection in 2010 at a special Announcement Gathering in Williamsburg, VA. The pieces, in this authentically reproduced Village, showcase early American life. This series is similar to other Heritage Village Series pieces and are made of porcelain. The Williamsburg Village is designed to stand alone, or it can easily be an extension of New England Village. The collection is ideal for patriotic Fourth of July displays or vignettes. After five years of production, it was announced in 2016 that the collection would be suspended until such time as new items would be introduced. Today, the majority of the city's restored buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. * This building was built in the 1760s and was originally owned by coach and chairmaker, Thomas Taliaferro. * In the early 1800s, his business associate, Jesse Cole, acquired, restored, and enlarged it. * The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation bought it in 1939 and named it following a 1941 renovation. * Companion building for "Taliaferro-Cole Shop" (listed in a separate sale in our eBay Store). * Light cord and bulb included. *** ALL Department 56 buildings and accessories FRAGILE. Many buildings have one or more areas of increased fragility, such as signs, lamps, spires, balconies, etc. Please take care to only handle by the solid porcelain sections of the building or accessory. ** We recently received almost the entire Christmas in the City, Alpine Village, North Pole, Disney Parks Village series and other Dept 56 villages from a former dealer and serious collector who took great pride in her collection. In order to list as many pieces as quickly as possible, we may just show the box/sleeve in the photos. We absolutely promise that all buildings and accessories list are in perfect, working condition with all separate attachments included. For serious buyers, we are more than happy to take pictures of the individual items prior to shipment at the buyer's direction. USE & CONDITION New in box. Removed for inspection and, possibly, photos. Box / sleeve with minimal shelf wear as expected for this item's age. SHIPPING $15 shipping and insurance through either UPS or USPS (seller’s choice) to the contiguous, lower 48 United States or to International countries that are included in eBay's Global Shipping Program. We will ship to destinations not included in eBay's Global Shipping Program at the buyer's expense. Combined shipping is available for multiple purchases on the same day. Request to "Combine Shipping" when purchasing more than one item. Only the USPS/UPS expense, the cost of the box & shipping materials will be charged. SHOULD YOU CONTACT US TO ASK FOR A LOWER PRICE? Being mostly a consignment service, our prices are set by each item's owner. Each collector or former retailer listing merchandise with us is given the option of including a "Make An Offer" tab for buyers to use for their BUY IT NOW listings. The vast majority of our long-time, serious collectors and former retailers prefer NOT to include this option in their listings. They feel this lessens the value of these very popular collectibles. They attempt to price their listings close to the current, fair, market price and prefer not to be contacted several times for each piece they list with us discussing discounts in a “garage sale” or flea-market type of interaction. Many of our sellers tell us "If we were wiling to accept a lower price, we would have listed it at that price". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For INTERNATIONAL purchases and shipping for buyers cut and paste the link below into your browser. https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/shipping-delivery/changing-delivery-address-method/international-purchases-shipping?id=4057 ALSO FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS If the shipping costs seem extremely high, please make sure that you are selecting “eBay’s Global Shipping Program” as your shipping service and NOT any other standard shipping method. Additional Customs charges and Sales Tax are added by eBay which are completely out of our control.
