Condition should also be considered by viewing the photos York, Pennsylvania City Clockwise from top left: Appell Center for the Performing Arts, William Goodridge house, York Friends Meeting House , and welcome sign York, also known as Yorktown in the mid 18th to early 19th centuries, was founded in 1741 by settlers from the Philadelphia region and named for the English city of the same name. By 1777, most of the area residents were of either German or Scots-Irish descent. [12] York was incorporated as a borough on September 24, 1787, and as a city on January 11, 1887. During the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), York served as the temporary capital of the Continental Congress . The Articles of Confederation were drafted and adopted in York, though they were not ratified until March 1781. York styles itself the first Capital of the United States , although historians generally consider it to be the fourth capital, after Philadelphia , Baltimore and (for one day) Lancaster . [13] The claim arises from the assertion that the Articles of Confederation was the first legal document to refer to the colonies as "the United States of America". [14] The argument depends on whether the Declaration of Independence , which also uses the term, would be considered a true legal document of the United States, being drafted under and in opposition to British rule. The Conway Cabal , a political intrigue against General George Washington , had its origins in the Golden Plough Tavern in York. [15] (thanks wiki) You can check the Stores, Shows and Sales. Risk Losing a last second auction, if another one is ever available. Or I'll send it from my kitchen to yours for the price listed Looking for something to enhance your collection? Trying to find that gift for a family member or close friend? Check out my store, there's something for everyone inside :) I'll be listing a large number of unique hard to find items, clothes, cards, books, comics, mags, music etc... Listing will be a little less descriptive than what I usually do in order to get more listed - Please ask if you have any questions Reasonable offers are always considered. These aren't cheap. Here's a chance to pick up one at a great price. I’ve bought and sold on eBay since 1997 – collecting and selling just about everything – if you’re looking for something let me know, I’m preparing to downsize portions of my collections and a large portion of my proceeds will be going to my daughter’s (aka: Little Nubby) college fund. Please check out my eBay store. Many great and interesting items will be listed… I treat everyone fairly and my feedback shows that. Special requests, wish lists and all inquiries will be answered to the best of my ability. I may not an absolute expert on anything, but I’m pretty knowledgeable about a lot of things…. Shipping Notes: - I try to get everything out the next available postal day after payment clears, but my ‘day job’ is very hectic and chaotic from time to time so there might be a couple days delay until I can get to the post office. Further with the Federal closing of smaller post offices (mine included), it might take a couple extra days to arrive. - If you need it quickly, just ask and I usually have no problem accommodating your wishes. - I combine shipping. - I sell and ship internationally. However, once it leaves the United States, buyers assume the risk of the package getting there, if it makes it to that country intact, which is more than fair. Blame France for that one..... Shipping rates vary due to location of where the item is being sent. If I offer free shipping on any items it is for the United States only unless noted. Other Legal-eze: - I offer a money back guarantee provided I get the item back in the condition it was sent and it’s within 30 days of receipt of said item. - Payment must be made thru Paypal (per eBay). Unless you are local and can pick the item up. There are other arrangements that can be made if necessary – feel free to ask. Happy Hunting and Thank You for your time looking at my ‘trinkets’!
