These measure approximately 7 1/2 inches in length. They were on display in a sealed display case and are in immaculate condition. I DO NOT use any padded envelopes at all. I always have large supplies of bubble wrap, styrofoam peanuts and newspaper and I’m not afraid to use them. I recycle as much packing material as I possibly can, but not if it means unsafe packing for your items. My hectic, unpredictable schedule is not able to accommodate any local pick-ups. Any & all requests for cancellations WILL NOT be responded to.
