Here\'s some info on the company:

Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions (formerly the Aurora Casket Company) is one of the largest manufacturers of caskets and funerary urns in the United States, selling over 38% of the country\'s caskets as of 2005. The Aurora, Indiana–based company is a subsidiary of Pittsburgh-based Matthews International. The company makes both wooden and metal caskets and urns for holding cremated remains. It also provides supplies and consulting services for funeral homes. The company traces its roots back to 1890, when John Backman began making wooden caskets by hand. At the time, the Aurora Casket Company employed 20 people. In the 1920s, John\'s son William Backman and his son-in-law William Barrott joined the company. For decades, the company was controlled by the Backman and Barrott families. In 2012, the Aurora Casket Company was acquired by private equity firm Kohlberg & Co. By 2014, the company had about 850 employees and was one of the Cincinnati metropolitan area\'s largest private companies. In June 2015, it was acquired by Matthews International and renamed Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions.

Shipping

We will try and combine shipping on multiple purchases wherever possible. Please e-mail us with sale item numbers before sending payment. However, if the items are heavy or require special packing / tracking, the postal rates might not be significantly reduced. We no longer ship overseas first class mail. We will only ship Internationally by Priority Mail, and that starts at $30.00. So please be aware that we NO LONGER SHIP FIRST CLASS MAIL INTERNATIONALLY unless seller agrees to ship by USPS Priority mail at an increased rate. Postage rates are non-negotiable and non-refundable. We pack every item professionally using new packing materials and appropriate mailing supplies. We send all items via US Postal Service.The U.S.Postal service rates change fairly regularly every year and we don\'t make money on postage like some other sellers. I think you\'ll find that we\'re quite fair. Thank-you!

Terms of Sale

I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item. The standard sized Lincoln head penny in the photograph is there for size comparison ONLY and is not included in the package. We\'re just trying to help you figure out how big the item is. We try and always be as accurate as we can in the item description and will gladly answer any question about item size & description when needed. Please e-mail us with any questions BEFORE the end of sale and BEFORE placing a offer. Postage is determined by the U.S. Postal service and is never refundable. Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago. So if you intend on using the old item, please be aware that we are selling it for collector value only. In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don\'t get mad at us. It may be hard to believe, but we have received a couple negatives because people broke vintage items while trying to use them.

Thanks & happy offerding to you! Good Luck!
