The Caley Collection of Sierra Madre California
I have acquired an extensive private collection out of Sierra Madre, California. The collection is the William P. Caley private family and business ephemera and photographs along with personal day to day journals spanning well over 60 years.
There are several hundred holiday cards, letters, reciepts, bank notes, family photographs, yard long photographs and a written history by then historian Maybelle Caley, William Caley's youngest daughter.
The ephemera centers in and around Sierra Madre! The day to day journal entries tell the story of the true Sierra Madre as it unfolded into the little town it is today.
It speaks of notables of the time, the sick, deaths, historical events in the USA, town gossip, the Womans Club, births, weddings and so much more!
The Caley women were intelligent, resilient pioneering women. I will be listing the collection over the next several weeks so if you are a collector or historian of the area please bookmark me.
Feedback
I strive very hard to satisfy my customers. There is no problem that cannot be resolved with communication. Please work with me if you have a concern before you are hasty to leave Neutral or Negative Feedback. If, you item is lost in the mail it is not my fault. I have been told by my Postal that the USPS scanners do not always scan the labels if they are taped over with clear tape... So they won't show on the USPS Online Track System.
Please note Ebays new Feedback Policy. Even Neutral Feedback effects your percentage rating. I was left Neutral Feedback on a transaction that I refunded the same day I was notified by the buyer that she had not received it. She waited 3 weeks after shipment to let me know it was not received. It was vintage greeting cards sent by First Class mail. It took my 100% rating that I have worked very hard for to 98.7%. So... with that said Please choose your feedback with wisdom not haste or frustration. Regards, Paisley Sage.
