If antique items do not have a upc code, what do you put in the field that asks what it is?

As a point of reference, Bar Codes (aka UPC codes) came into play in 1974. The first to use them was Wrigley’s chewing gum.
No ZIP code means item was from 1963 or older.
Needing to ‘purchase’ a UPC for an antique item that had none (of which I have a few of these items) and only having that single item to sell just sounds like a money generating situation conjured up by the bean counters at Amazon and Google.
Those who thought of REQUIRING a UPC code to do a search as a great idea were probably born AFTER UPC bar-codes were already on items and never realized that they were not always there. “Heavens to Murgatroyd” (another antique saying), I never shopped for an item by UPC code!!!

Just keep it blank , if you want you can purchase UPC and attach it . It is a common practice for creating listings on Amazon.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
