Saber Cases

You must treat the wood with the same care you would treat any wooden article of furniture, to include regular polishing with a product like Pledge.  Use care not to get any polish on the velvet.  Oil based polish and even water can permanently stain the velvet.  We use lacquer to finish the cases and if water is allowed to sit on the wood, white spots can occur.

When hanging the saber case, use only approved hardware made for the express purpose of hanging pictures.  The hardware you use must be capable of supporting both the case and the sword.  We recommend the hardware be able to support at least 20 pounds of pressure on each side, just in case a curious youngster wants to get the saber out to "play" with it.  We make no claim that our cases can be locked and so you also bear the responsibility to make sure youngsters know their limits. Only the glass cases offer some inherent security as screws must be removed to get to the saber.  The glass is double strength and if broken will cause a hazard.  We accept no liability for accidents arising from any broken glass and stress that you must be diligent in the location you place the case to keep it out of harm's way.  Again, make sure all cases are not easily accessible to children.

Letter Openers

We also accept no liability for any accident or injury caused by carelessness on the part of the user.  The letter openers are not sharpened, but they can still cause injury to children if they are not supervised correctly.

Ornaments

These ornaments are real glass and as such they need to be treated with care.  Do not use any kind of thinner to clean the bulbs or the protective lacquer coating will disintegrate.  A mild soapy water solution and a clean, lint-free cloth will be enough to keep the ornament in a near mint condition.  After the holiday season is over, we recommend that you store your ornament in a container that will protect it from breaking and also one that will block out UV light.  UV light can cause the protective coating to yellow over time.  The yellowing can actually improve the look and give it character.

We also accept no liability for any accident or injury caused by carelessness on the part of the user.  The ornaments are glass and can cause serious injury to adults and/or children if they were to break.
