I have compiled a wealth of unique treasures,
antiques and artworks from Asia with a fantastic
and mysterious history from travels, China,
Japan, Bali, Tibet, Burma/Myanmar, Cambodia,
Taiwan, Philippines, Laos and Vietnam.
My fascination with Asia inspired me to move
here from England and become an avid
collector/buyer of Asian oriental antique
statues, carvings, puppets, bronzes and unique
objects, other items have been from years of
collecting and accumulating from estates,
private collections and auctions.
ORIGINAL 1970's
LARGE WOODEN CASTROL OIL BIKE STOP
GARAGE THAI
SIGN
Back in the early 70's when
oil companies were trying to get a foot hold in
Thailand, they employed the man above and his
father to paint signs for the companies as
they were the only sign writers in the north of
Thailand, I met him a few years ago and have
been selling the odd sign every now and then
when he needs a bit of extra cash, him and his
father painted 1000's of sign for various
companies, most have been destroyed or replaced
with more modern signs but he still has a few
nice ones stashed away in his work shop, he is
now 75 years old. 1 of 3 signs up for auction
this week, see photo's above.
PLEASE NOTE
Due to the size, shape and being
slightly fragile, some pieces will
have to be specially wrapped, boxed
and insured for loss only which
shows in the shipping cost, I do not
intend to take any chances with
these pieces,
better safe than sorry, it would be
heart breaking to think it arrived
broken and deserves looking after.
There are a lot of retired American,
English, Germans etc living here in
Thailand enjoying their last days in
hotter tropical climes. With being
out and about every day looking for
items to buy I meet many foreigners
living in strange out of the way
places, I also do a lot of
advertising in local papers etc
saying I will buy any collections,
Antiques and so on, things are
starting to pick up, I am getting a
few Thai ladies calling saying their
husbands have passed away and have
items that they do not know what to
do with, there is some great stuff
turning up.

CHECK OUT MY WEIRD AND WONDERFUL ITEMS UP FOR AUCTION.
PAYPAL ONLY
READ THIS BEFORE YOU BID:
The Thai
postal service charges $30.00 a kilo by air, land sea is
a lot cheaper but takes longer. I cannot be held
responsible for your countries import taxes or any other
duties that have to be paid or control what Thai post
charges for shipping.
Shipping
from Thailand can take between 10 to 28 days depending
on the postal service and area so please be patient.
Thai post only insures for loss and not
damage.
I try my best to bring
you unique and sometimes very rare items, I
travel to many out of the way places where there
are no hotels, its normally my bike, sleeping
bag,
a tree and lots of mosquito's, to bring you
these pieces. I can sell you an item, wrap it as
carefully as I can and then ship it to you. I
cannot control what Thai post charges for
shipping or tell you the exact time it takes to
arrive to you, and can only give you a rough
idea from past dealings, I have no control what
so ever over any postal service's or U.S. customs.
I use bubble wrap and peanuts to cushion each
item from possible mishandling during shipping.
If for any reason, the item is broken, please
email within 24 hours along with pictures of the
broken item, original box inside and outside.
I try to take good
photo's with different angles, I also put all
the information I know about the piece on the
page including Height, Width and Weight, I also state clearly at the bottom of the
page what it will cost me to ship it to you, I
do not charge for the box and wrapping which is
also expensive here as it has to be imported.
Don't be leaving me a 2 or 3 star rating about
shipping or anything else, everything you need
to know is here on the page, if you disagree
with these conditions go elsewhere. There are many
new buyers now on ebay taking advantage of good
honest sellers leaving negative feedback and low
DSR's for silly reasons.
