Terms and Conditions

All documents and manuscripts catalogued on the "History By Hand" website are original antiques, not copies or reproductions.

The Descriptions: We make every attempt to research and catalogue items accurately.  While we believe that our catalogue description and the accompanying background information we provide about a specific document or individual is accurate, we do not intend to state or imply that the information is totally free from error or that we can accept any liability for its use.  Researchers and collectors are advised to do their own research and make their own judgments, using accepted rules of evidence.

Grading of Condition: Because they are original antiques, the documents and manuscripts listed here may have passed through many hands and may have been stored in less than favorable conditions at times.  We attempt to describe the condition of each item accurately.  Remember that each one of the items listed here is unique; unlike books, there are no other copies extant in better or lesser condition to use for comparison.  Since condition is one of the many factors considered when assigning a value to a particular document, researchers and collectors may assume that our current price reflects our evaluation of an item's current condition.  Therefore, all items are sold "as-is".

Shipping:  We reserve the right to select the most appropriate method of packing and shipping for a particular item.  We ship items carefully packed in the most expeditious, cost effective manner.  Our carrier of choice is the United States Postal Service and our preferred level of service is  First Class Mail. We may choose another carrier or another level of service if we believe the size or condition of a particular item warrants. Generally, this will be noted in our catalogue description.
