Description
KANGAROO
Different varieties of this animal can grow up to 2 metres and they hop on strong hind legs using the tail as a balance. It can travel up to 50 kph over short distances and hops up to 9 metres in full stretch. They feed on grass, mostly at nights and live in scrub lands of Eastern Australia. Also featured on the Coat of Arms with the Emu.
KOALA WITH BABY
An accomplished climber, this tail-less marsupial is one of Australia’s esteemed inhabitants. Koalas sleep during the day and feed at night on particular types of eucalyptus which have a high water content. Koalas never drink. They have a soft grey fur and sharp claws and live in South and Eastern Australia.
PEWTER
Since earlier times, craftsmen have been extracting a small amount of a shiny precious metal (Tin) from a mass of rock, and then using that metal to manufacture articles to decorate their homes.
Tin is the fourth most valuable metal in general use, after Platinum, Gold and Silver, and has been used to manufacture Pewter since those early times.
Modern Pewter is an alloy that contains 92% Tin, 6% Antimony and 2% Copper. The Antimony is used to harden the alloy, and the Copper is used to improve its workability.
To maintain the finish of your Pewter articles, wash in hot water using liquid soap and rinse in almost boiling water. Immediately dry and polish with a soft cloth.
We are a non-smoking household and currently without pets.
I will mail out usually within the day of purchase or the very next day.
USPS is making changes to how they handle First Class and Media Mail and has been taking a
VERY LONG
time to deliver.
Therefore, the handling on my listings is for 10 days hopefully to compensate for their slow delivery.
