    Description

    Here we have
    an authentic, very British (in so many ways) signed letter to a cranky constituent from the office of Prime Minister/Sir Winston Churchill on 10 Downing Street/Whitehall official letterhead. Typewritten, addressed to a W. Dennis Way, Esquire, and signed in black ink by what appears to someone named M. H. M. Zeid (or something similar) who had a fabulously sense of wit and a very dry sense of humor. Don't even know if April Fools Day is celebrated in the UK, but the date adds a sweet punch to the piece. We have tons of cool ephemera in our store, to which we add new inventory daily, and we're always happy to combine shipping at actual cost. Simply request a combined shipping invoice when you're done shopping with us, and wait to pay until you've received it.

    Our photographs reveal the condition best -- please enlarge and zoom in on them, and examine them carefully. We often add graphics such as arrows, circles, and text boxes to our photos to point out things of interest that might be hard to see, such as a price tag or maker's mark, as well as to highlight many condition flaws. You'll never find anything sticky, growing or otherwise gross on our ephemera, nor will you ever encounter anything with funky odors. Very fresh and clean, overall very very good to excellent vintage condition.
    A few old softened creases, and one hard one across the page. A small yellowed rectangular spot to the left of "Yours truly."
    Rest assured that we will do all we can to ensure that your piece of ephemera arrives exactly as presented in our photos.
    We invest time and appropriate materials into shipping all of our ephemera. Most pieces are sent in envelopes that are sandwiched between cardboard before being sent as Priority or first-class parcels in non-bendable mailers, which ship at rates much higher than first-class letters. We never toss our ephemera into thin stationery envelopes with forever stamps stuck to them expecting the USPS to deliver them to you with great care.
    We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and we'll let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (
    or anything else
    ) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us.
    The Fine Print:
    We expect payment within 1 day of purchase. If you're waiting for other auctions to end so that you can combine shipping, shoot us a message to let us know.
    If you're unable to pay within terms, please reach out with your Plan B. Things happen. Especially these days. So just shoot us a message.
    We don't accept buyer-remorse returns but we will grant you the use of our description and photos so that you can re-ebay the item yourself.
    Although we don't accept buyer-remorse returns, reach out if you're unhappy with your purchase! If we messed up -- everybody does -- give us a chance to fix it. We promise it was unintentional, and we'll do what we can to make it right.
