This piece is in excellent condition with no readily apparent cracks or damage.  The intricacy of the symbols and carvings are truly amazing and speak to the unique talent that was Jim Rumph.  If you're looking for an item to make your Rumph collection truly special, the Magic Wand is for you. The shipping and handling charges are a tad high due to the extra care needed to ship this delicate item properly.  I will ship for free if the bidding exceeds $1,000.00. Payment is expected within 7 days of the auction close.  I prefer Paypal but will accept a check and will ship after the check clears. CAUTION: Although a true magic wand is said to stem from the right thighbone of a magician (which this piece is), I must report that I am not convinced of the magical properties of this particular wand.  I've been waving this over my wife for 2 1/2 years -- but she's still here. Maybe you'll have better luck.  Place a Bid!
