Vintage Bronze Swivel Snap Shackle 3 1/2 Inch

Description

You are buying an old antique sailboat rigging fitting
It is a snap shackle with a swivel
It is made of marine bronze
I think it was made by Brookes and Adams, not the venerable Merriman Brothers or Wilcox and Crittenden
It is made in England
It has a part number MD 171
It is about 3 1/2 inches long
It can be used for sheets and lower loaded jib and spinnaker halyards on small sailboats
This is perfect for a small boat restoration or a boat builder
The eBay shipping cost calculator is not accurate.
It is frequently off from what the Post Office actually charges me by a
lot
.  The rates quoted in the listing are not set by me, it is the lovely inaccurate eBay shipping cost calculator. Give me a shout with
your zip code
if you think the shipping cost is
too high
.
Yes, I will ship anywhere in the world. International sellers must contact me first before paying via pay pal. The eBay shipping calculator does not work very well for international addresses.
International buyers please contact me first before paying
.
I do this part time so I am slower than those eBay powr sellers when it comes to e-mails, finances and shipping and feedback. Please be patient. This is a hobby for me. I work and have a family life so I am not always the quickest eBayer especially when it comes to leaving feedback. I do try to be quick but sometimes I get tied up with non-eBay activities. Shipping can be up to 5 days.
Sorry.
Note: I now charge -4 for shipping depending on item.  The cost of bubble wrap, envelopes, labels, etc is just too much now and I need to come close to breaking even on this stuff.  Sorry.
I value the 100% positive feedback that I have maintained for well over 1700 transactions. I will work with you to resolve questions and issues. If you are unsatisfied with me or the item, communicate with me! I try to be as fair and realistic in my descriptions of the item I am selling. Though I try my best, I am not perfect in my descriptions or identifications of items. I will try to correct any mistakes I make in a listing. Email me if you see something that is incorrect. I will accept returns, but
you will pay
for all return shipping charges.
I am glacially slow in leaving feedback, usually months behind.
Everything I sell is used and old with expected wear and tear on it. You are buying the item as is. What you see in the pictures is what you get, no more, no less.
If you have questions, please email me. Good luck and Happy Bidding. Bid early and often!
