The box has no tears and only one small stain.   This is new old stock, patent date corresponds to 1915.   The flat metal appears to be copper.   This is a universal part that fit many engines of the day.   There are varied opinions as to whether it worked or not. There may always be small manufacturer's defects or microscopic blemishes or flaws consistent with age and use which is to be expected in antique and  vintage items.   Rest assured that any major issues will always be both documented and photographed to the best of my ability. Be sure and check the photos as they are an integral part of the description and do a much better job of showing condition issues than what I can explain through the use of the written word.    Use the magnification tool and feel free to ask questions. I do have more photos available and can always take more so ask for specific views if you want to see things I may not be showing to your satisfaction **_Photographs are a vital part of the description:_****_If any issue....a scratch, chip, blemish, smudge, crazing, soiling, scuff, crack, hole, bubble, bump, roughness, manufacturer's flaw.....anything....shows up in the photos, even if it is not spelled out in my written condition section, it is part of the description and can not be used for a 'not as described complaint'._** **_I am an old lady with fading eyesight and I do sometimes miss things that the photos catch, or maybe there are other defects that I feel it is more important to point out in the written word.   If you see something in the photos or the description that bothers you, by all means, point it out and ask me about it before you commit to buying._** **_Measurements:_** **_3 1/4" long, 1 13/16" wide, 3/4" high_** **_Packaging: I am making an effort to remember to turn over the ends of the tape I am using on the bubble wrap so that it can easily be pulled awa_** **_y from the wrap without damage to the bubble wrap, thus making it available for re-use._** 5691-5700 (9-2021) 4792  \- box 114 - 1 oz.. unpkg'd - est shipping weight 5 oz. **_Alert !!!!!_** This darn virusthing (I'm not allowed to use the actual word) can live 24 hours on cardboard and 3 days on plastic such as the type of packing tape I use or the plastic padded shipping envelopes.   The good news is that plastic can be easily disinfected and made safe.   If you get a cardboard box in the mail, set it aside in a secure place that is not in your home...maybe your garage or a locked shed...and leave it alone for over 24 hours.   Wash your hands immediately after handling it and don't touch your face before you do.   Then after those 24 hours or more,  wipe the parts with tape on them down with disinfectant.   Leave the disinfectant on for 20 seconds before wiping dry.   Wash your hands immediately when you are done.   A very cheap but efficient disinfectant can be made from a simple bleach and water solution.   Most bleach bottles have the ratios on them for disinfectants.    We used it all of the time in the nursing home kitchen I worked in as a kid, as the commercial stuff used to add to rinse water for washing our pots, pans and dishes was so darned expensive.    So if you can't get the wipes or spray in the store, don't worry about it...you probably already have a bottle of bleach with your laundry stuff or cleaning supplies.    The person who shipped you your package may be entirely safe, but none of us know how many people handle your package while it is on its way to you so take precautions to keep you and your family safe. **_Disclaimer:_**_Photographs with a ruler or the metal tape measures are there to show scale only and usually will not show exact_ **_measurements_** **_due to_** **_the fact that the measurements on a wooden ruler start 1/16" into the wood, and_** **_the ruler,_** **_and also the item being different_** **_lengths_** **_away_** **_from the camera lens than the ruler or tape measure,_** **_even if it is only a fraction of an inch will also create a perspective issue.   Please always go by my stated measurements rather_** **_than guessing at the exact sized based on the photos._** **_Note:_**Because of the way computers and cell phones are set to interpret colors that show on their monitors, and because of people's perceptions of color descriptions,  the colors you see on your screen may not be exactly the colors you will get but might appear a bit darker or lighter, or a shade or two different.   I always do my best to show colors as close to reality as I can get them, but keep that in mind when you make your orders as, although I will accept returns for any reason, I WILL NOT accept a small difference in color shades as a valid reason for a 'not as described' claim so that you can save on shipping.   Of course, if I say that something is black and it turns out to be red when you get it, then obviously the fault is mine and the 'not as described' claim will be accepted      If you need to have a perfect match and can send a fabric swatch or paint chip, or something else that you have that shows the exact color that you need, I will be happy to hold the item you are thinking of purchasing so that you can send me your swatch or whatever for me to use to check for that match.   I can photograph the item next to the color sample that you send and you can make your final decision as to whether you want to purchase from that. **_Shipping:_** I purchase postage online when I package the item.   The tracking number shows when that postage was purchased and does not start when I actually take the item to the post office to be shipped.   Note, I show a 4 business day handling period and although I may get your item packaged and ready to ship on the first or second day, It may take all of those four days for me to get your item to the post office to actually ship it.   Please don't be concerned if you check your tracking number and find out that the item has not yet been shipped if it is within my four-day shipping window.   If you do need your item in a hurry for a birthday or special occasion, just let me know and I will be happy to do my best for you.
