Original Listing Description

untitled RARE Original Vintage 1950s Harley Davidson Black Leather Wallet and Chain This is an extremely rare authentic 1950s era Harley Davidson black leather bi-fold wallet with its original chain and all of the original hardware. In searching the internet for examples of this wallet, I was able to find only more recent examples that were similar in design. I'm basing my assessment of this wallet's age on the design of the snaps as well as the logo art printed on the back side of the piece. This wallet is used and in perfectly good, usable condition. The leather is still soft and supple. It's really just nicely broken in. I've tried to provide enough pictures to give you a complete sense of this piece. All opened up, this wallet measures 9 inches in width and 4 3/8 inches in height. Completely snapped shut(as you would keep it while carrying it in your pocket) it measures 3 5/8 inches in width. The chain's length is just over 28 1/2 inches in length. Please email me if you have any questions or need more pictures. Thanks BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS IMPORTANT!!! I strive to receive 5/5!!! I do not charge any handling fees. You only pay the cost of the actual shipping. If I could afford to offer free shipping I would, but most of my profits are small and I really just can't swing it. Unfortunately, because of ebay's new Detailed Seller Ratings system, a 5=A and a 4=F. I say this because even though you may think you're giving me a "Good" score, if I or any other seller just receives 4s we will be thrown off of ebay. That's they're new system. I really do strive to give each of my customers the best service possible, but also, I specialize in selling rare, unusual and hard to find items. The very items that helped build ebay into the empire that it is. When all of us little sellers are gone there's going to be nothing left to buy on ebay but a bunch of Buy.com overstock. Many of my items only wind up costing $6.80 to ship. Heavier items will cost more. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS do need to realize that the USPS calculator is often inaccurate with international shipping rates. So I do sometimes add a couple of dollars to the cost to cover myself. I guarantee everything I sell. If I make a mistake I will always give you a full refund. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy this item!!! I will ship internationally but I will not falsify documents so as to help you avoid customs!!! I accept Paypal. All items are guaranteed to be as described, if I have made a mistake I will gladly refund your money, minus the cost of shipping. However, I go to great lengths to provide correct measurements and nice big pictures of every detail. it is your responsibility as a buyer to ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid. If you fail to do so, or the piece doesn't fit properly, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. I usually ship upon payment via USPS. You, as the buyer, are responsible for the cost of shipping. IIf I can find a box that will work to safely ship your item I will pass the savings on to you. I strongly suggest you also insure your purchase as I cannot be responsible for damage or loss through shipping. If you require special arrangements or shipping through UPS, please allow additional time. Also, I charge a $10 handling fee for UPS shipping, i charge this fee because i do not want to ship via UPS. The only exception to this would be when I'm selling a heavier item which must be shipped via UPS. In that case it will be specifically stated in the auction description. I almost always leave positive feedback, unless there's some extreme problem. However, I sometimes don't get around to leaving the feedback for a week or so. Please be patient. Please email me if you have any questions. Here's a link... (Condition: Pre-Owned)
