After paying extra money for a rapid delivery I was informed on the day I was expecting this item that it was running late and the possibility occurred that I would receive this item only AFTER I needed it. I then called AMAZON and they immediately got in touch with the Historical Emporium (this was all late at night). What surprised me was that Historical Emporium immediately sent an email refunding the additional delivery charge, and then assured me that my package would arrive the next day. It did. My only regret was that in my AMAZON review, I wasn't sure exactly how a particular prop worked on this item and-due to my own ignorance-claimed that an item was missing (although I pointed out that it was a minor flaw. Afterward I discovered that the 'minor flaw' was me. Thank you Historical Emporium. You came through when so many other companies don't.

Quick and easy to order. The product is even better in person than in the pictures!

My only disappointment at all was the small number of period vests for men in XXL/TG I already have four vests from Historical Emporium which I purchased many years ago; and I still get compliments on them when I wear them. Several of your dress vests are items I would certainly buy, but are only available for those with short upper bodies, and none of course are in the size that would fit me. The Item I purchased this time around is impeccable. It was the silver men's pocket watch with the "Viewing window" to see the mechanism working. I love it. Thank You Longstreet

I love your products. Very authentic and good quality. Excellent service.

Since the item was in stock it was shipped out right away.

WELL DONE!
