Description
- This listing is for a
Birch Beer tap knob
- that is the typical ball knob style with a yellow insert that is probably from around 1950.
- This originally came from an extensive Goetz beer collection since it mentions Country Club, but my further research seems to indicate that it was more likely a tap knob from the
COUNTRY CLUB SODA Company of Springfield, Massachusetts
.
-
Markings
- as shown in photos -
This tap knob has fancy lettering in black
OLD FASHIONED BIRCH BEER  -  COUNTRY CLUB
with a small union or manufacturers mark on a yellow panel and a black body.

Shipping
We tried doing listings
with minimal policy & process info in the past
and since there were
many potential bidders with the same questions
, we are again showing the detailed info about our policies.
-
Potential
International Bidders
/ Buyers
---
International shipments will be considered as
NON-RETURNABLE
.
-
We have decided to limit International
bidders
due to the very high shipping costs, the larger box required for the
c
ustoms papers,
the
potential
for
non-delivery claims and we
will
consider both your Ebay Feedback ratings and your time on Ebay.
-
International shipping defaults to Priority Mail
and
First Class could be available
for most items (under 4 pounds) when we send an invoice.

mark
merchandise values
below the ending value
or mark items
as gifts
.
- Shipping was determined by the estimated weight of the item and the planned box.
-  We will
ALWAYS combine shipping
on multiple items to minimize your final shipping cost, plus
we try to list similar items
so you can buy more items with a lower overall shipping cost per item.
-
Local pick-up is also available
, but we will need to collect the required Iowa Sales Tax.
- If you have multiple items, we will package your items and obtain a
COMBINED SHIPPING TOTAL
(usually done the next day or two after the items have closed depending upon how many items must be processed) and we will then send you an updated invoice with the proper shipping total.
-
If you pay immediately via PayPal (before a combined total is determined)
,
excess shipping is refunded
when the items are shipped.

Please advise us if you are
planning to bid on additional items
so that we
CAN WAIT
and combine shipping for you.

normally shipped the next business
day along with your shipping notification.
