I have just placed an order with you for a locket (Victorian Style Engraved Locket Silver Birmingham 1983 Item no: L0002)but didn't see the opportunity for any special instructions. I would appreciate if this item could be sent by the quickest means possible as it is to be a gift for my daughter's 21st birthday at the end of this week. I realise I may have left it a bit late, but would be very grateful for anything you can do! Many thanks, Michele L

Hi! Just got my 1925 gold pencil from top banana antiques. Looks really nice.

Hello. This is the second item I've bought from Top Banana Antiques, the first was a gold 1920s art deco propelling pencil. Now I've just bought the silver horse shoe Coin . if you come across an antique gold. half/ coin, don't care what country, as long as date/ marks clearly. And I'm looking for a solid gold Antique Calendar propelling pencil. Nice, clean, clearly marked. Thank you. Eddie

From Martin Staples Just quick note to say really pleased with Horseshoe Brooch. Thanks so much for quick delivery and the nice box. Martin

Hi - I bought the emerald horseshoe from your website as a gift for someone just last week and then subsequently found out that they don't like emeralds. I don't know if it's possible, but I would like to return it. Regards, Selina
Hi, please return it and we will sort out a refund for you. Kind regards TBA
I just spoke to paypal and apparently refunds take 2-3 days to show up in the system. Thanks for your efforts! Regards, Selina
