LEATHOROID HISTORY:
The Leatheroid Manufacturing Company's first existence can be traced to Wheeling, West Virginia.[1] The 1879  The Rogers Fibre Company in Kennebunk was part of the manufacturing heritage and Industrial Age of the town. Rogers Fibre Company bought out the Leatheroid Company in 1915. So well-known was the Leatheroid Company that many people in Kennebunk interchangeably referred to the leatherboard and fibre board it produced simply by the brand name leatheroid. Leatherboard is made from scraps of vegetable-tanned leather that are ground and pressed into sheets. Fibre board has no virgin materials; it consists of old paper bags, cardboard and scrap paper. While leatherboard and fibre board’s histories are intertwined, they are two separate and very different products. Leatherboard was first made in Kennebunk in 1876 at the Leatherboard Mill. The National Fibre Board Company came along in 1881 and was incorporated into the Leatheroid Manufacturing Company in 1884. By 1915, Rogers Fibre Company had united the Leatheroid Manufacturing Company, the National Fibre Board Company and the Mousam Counter Company.
I am downsizing my life, moving out of a very large home I've lived in for 25 years, and into my RV full time, so I have a lifetime of things to sell.

So why should you buy from me? If you are like most folks, you would rather buy new, but want a good deal, which is why you are browsing eBay. Well you're in luck because I'm one of those obsessive people who take very good care of their things, keep all the boxes and manuals and when I sell something, its usually perfect. So when you buy from me, you not only get a great deal, you also get a like new product.
************ ABOUT DANGER ************
My name is Robert Danger Byrd and friends call me Danger, mainly because its cooler than the rest of my names. I live in Houston in the North Heights and I am an individual selling personal items as well as assets from my companies that are no longer in use to keep my life clutter free. I have been an E-Bay member since 1999 and have completed hundreds of successful auctions. I am also a verified PayPal user which  means PayPal has verified my identity and as a result PayPal transactions with me are automatically insured. You can also google me and see that I'm a real person, and  not hiding behind a random username
************ FEEDBACK ***********
As you can see from my excellent feedback I value my "e-reputation" and always take good care of my auction winners. I want positive feedback and will work to get it. If you have a problem with any of my items, please give me the opportunity to resolve it before leaving feedback.
UPDATE: I recently got my first negative feedback in many years from a very unreasonable buyer who was angry that her item didn't include the original box, yet no box was pictured... Offered her a full refund but she declined & left me 1 star.
************ CONTACTING ME *********
Feel free to use the
eBay messaging system to contact me with any questions.  I have a pretty demanding job, but can generally get back within a day or two.
********** LOCAL PICKUP **********
Some items are stored in Baytown (a Houston suburb) and some in the North Heights area of Houston TX. Depending on where your item is, we can work out meeting up for a local pickup at the appropriate location.
************ SHIPPING LARGE ITEMS ************
For large items that aren't practical to ship via UPS, FedEx or the Post Office, I recommend https://uShip.com I have used them a number of times for everything from sofas to car hoods and it easy and remarkably cheap. It works by pairing you with unused capacity. Far example, a delivery driver who is coming back from delivering something will have an empty truck, and uShip connects you with this extra capacity, helps you choose providers w delivery driver feedback and facilitates the transaction.

You must ship the item back within 14 days of receiving it and it must arrive in the same condition that you received it in. By bidding on this item you are accepting these terms & conditions.
