Costumes can be purchased using personal checks, money orders, and Paypal. My address is Stuart Schneider, P.O. Box 64, Teaneck, NJ 07666 and my Paypal name is Stuarts1031@ erols.com (note, I put a space in there so that automatic email harvesters don't get my email address). Postage and handling, and insurance (if you want it) will be added to your order once the weight is figured. I mail using the US Postal Service with delivery confirmation. Email me at Stuarts1031 at erols.com to reserve the item numbers that you want.
Terms: You can return any item to me within 10 days for any reason. If I totally misdescribed it, I will refund your postage both ways. If you are dissatisfied, you pay postage both ways. Note: These costumes are 20 to 70 years old. Generally, they are not in Mint condition. Some have been worn once, many years ago. All cloth costumes have all been ironed some time ago, photographed for my book, and then put back into the box (if there is a box). The thin plastic that was used to make the masks is very prone to getting cracks at the edges. Assume that all thin plastic masks will have these cracks. The fireproofing material that was used on these early costumes has a tendency to darken with age (it will usually show in the photograph). There may be some discolored areas due to age. If you have concerns, please ask in advance.
