07 SEPT 2008
Pelikan 400NN
sb42.jpg

Dating from 1956-1965 or so, the Pelikan 400NN is a nicely made piston filler. The barrel is translucent, so the ink level is easy to monitor. This one is in great shape - nearly new looking. Nib is a 14C fine.  5 1/4", 132 mm.

Price: $200 inclusive of S/H/I

Sheaffer Pen for Men V
sb31 sb31nib 

Beautiful PFM V in very good condition. Has three engraved initials (JRE) on the clip.  Mild wear from use (like where the cap slides over the barrel), but with no brassing or serious flaws. Fine nib. Snorkel filler works as it should. 5 3/8", 137 mm.

Price: $375 inclusive of S/H/I

Pelikan 100N Set
sb31 sb31nib 

This Pelikan set dates from around 1938-39, although it looks like it was made yesterday. Note the transparency of the barrel.  I did a little cosmetic work on the cap - but you shouldn't notice (that's the point!).  Medium 14 kt nib bordering on oblique (there's good fine-medium line width variation. The pencil works well. Pen is 4 3/4", 120 mm.

Price: $375 inclusive of S/H/I

Waterman LeMan 100
lt63 dbx8

A big pen. In excellent condition - no brassing or wear. Cartridge-converter. Fine 18 kt. two tone nib. 5 5/8", 144 mm.

Price: $200 inclusive of S/H/I

English Parker Arrow
sb41 sb41nib

Not the fanciest of English Parkers, but in great condition. Nib is steel and I'd call it a fine-medium. Cartridge converter (piston-type). Excellent condition.

Price: $50 inclusive of S/H/I

Wood Barrel Waterman LeMan 100
lt63 dbx8

A big pen that's made out of wood (olive?). Cartridge-converter. Medium 18 kt. two tone nib. 5 5/8", 144 mm.  These were very expensive collectors items originally, but the wood stains with ink, as you can see below the nib and at the end of the barrel.  If you don't mind the staining, the wood has a very warm feel, and it's a great writer.

Price: $175 inclusive of S/H/I

ECO Pelikan Clone
lt63 lt63

This Pelikan copy is actually an excellent pen on its own.  I know nothing about ECO, but this one has a medium flex nib. It's a piston filler. The hardware is in very good  condition, with a little brassing of the cap band.   5", 125 mm. (ignore the water droplets on the nib - I rinsed it before shooting and clearly forgot to wipe the water off.)

Price: $150 inclusive of S/H/I ON HOLD

Parker Mechanical Pencil with Art
sb40

Parker pencil where the barrel has been replaced by a sterling silver overlay of a bull and bear. Clearly a must have for Wall Street types....

Price: $35 inclusive of S/H/I ON HOLD

Parker Premier
lt63 lt63

Parker's top-of-the-line 75 copy. French. Copper and black lacquer over brass (I believe). Probably more of a user than show piece because there's one area on the cap where the lacquer is a bit worn.  By my age, you can't see it without a loupe, but you can feel it.  And light doesn't reflect as well.  Fine 18 kt nib.   5 1/4", 135 mm. Cartridge/Converter

Price: $125 inclusive of S/H/I

Blue Marbled Conklin Symetrik - Modern
lt63 dbx8

One of Conklin's modern re-creations of a classic pen. This pen is pretty, but the cap bands and clip have lost some plating, as you can see in the photos. The nib is a surprisingly nice 14 kt fine. Very smooth.... The blue plastice is gorgeous - lots of sparkles. Cartridge/converter. 5 1/2", 140 mm.

Price: $60 inclusive of S/H/I

English Slimfold
pen1064

Pretty teal Slimfold. Parker 21-like squeeze filler. #5 14 kt fine nib. Excellent condition. 5", 125 mm

MontBlanc 252
Small MB Small MB nib

Forest Green MB 252 from the 1950s. Piston filler. Engraved (if you're name is "Markku Laine", you're in particular luck...). Fine-Medium nib. 5 1/16", 129 mm. Wonderful condition. With box.

Mont Blanc Generation
sb25 sb25nib

A gorgeous forest green MB for everyday use. Virtually mint. Light weight, but a nice writer with a fine-medium 18kg nib. Cartridge Converter. 5 1/2", 140 mm. (I'm afraid my fluorescent lights don't do green justice - this is slightly on the teal side of English racing green.)

Price: $225 inclusive of S/H/I

Conway Stewart 100
dk17 dk17nib

A nearly new Conway Stewart 100 (modern) with a Deb Kinney prepared medium stub nib. I tried it out - this is a great writer! Large, mid-weight pen. Piston filler. 5 1/2", 139 mm. Stunningly gorgeous. Hallmarked band. "No 381/026"

Price: $425 inclusive of S/H/I

Faber Castell Pernambuco
sb22 sb22nib

A nearly new Faber Castell with a pernambuco wood barrel. Heavy in weight, large in size. Medium 18 kt nib. 5 3/8", 137 mm. A beautiful pen that should work well. Cartridge/Converter (actually a substitute Cartier converter). No box or papers.

Price: $375 inclusive of S/H/I

English Parker Slimfold "Set"
sb27

English made Slimfold fountain pen and ball point in dark blue. In truth, I don't think they're a set, just very close. So close I'm selling them together. The fountain pen has a Parker 21-like aerometric filler. Medium 14 kt nib. Both work. No major flaws - just desk wear. FP: 5", 125 mm.

Price: $75 inclusive of S/H/I

Omas Emotica
dk12 dk12standdk12nib  

An interesting Omas with a matte finish and clip that converts into a stand. Titanium nib - fine. Nearly new with box and papers. Cartridge/Converter. 5 3/4", 147 mm. An unusual large pen that works well and will clearly draw comments!

Price: $300 inclusive of S/H/I

Beautiful Large Italian Celluloid
dk19

Very petty black and white celluloid. Wide and long. 5 1/2", 140 mm. Body says "Atlantica". Nib says "Vereletta Extra Iridio 4". However, like many steel nibs of that era, the flex is very nice - fine to very broad. The pen is a lever filler.

Price: $125 inclusive of S/H/I

Parker 75- Gold Filled
sb12

A beautiful US Parker 75 with a 14 kt gold filled cap and barrel. Medium 14Kt gold nib. Flat ends to the cap and barrel (the older style). Cartridge/converter.

Price: $180 inclusive of S/H/I

Sheaffer Crest - Modern
ha42 ha42nib

Built like a Sheaffer Snorkel, but with a bit more weight. And no Snorkel. This Crest has a fine 18 kt. nib. Cartridge/converter with aerometric-style converter. Looks mint. Gold electroplate cap. 5 5/8", 143 mm.

Price: $150 inclusive of S/H/I

Sheaffer Imperial - Sterling Silver
rw20

Condition is excellent on this sterling silver Imperial. Fine 14 Kt inlaid gold nib. Cartridge/converter. There is a a very slight wobble to the cap (which is otherwise very secure). 5 1/8", 135 mm

Price: $140 inclusive of S/H/I

Parker Brocade Ringtop - Gold-filled
dbd5

There's no way an image can do this one justice, the light, lacey etching. Flexible fine, Vac-like arrow nib. Button filler. 4 3/8", 110 mm. Great condition.

Price: $300 inclusive of S/H/I

Waterman 552 1/2 - 14 Kt Gold Ladies Filagree
dbb2

This gold filagree Waterman is in beautiful shape, not engraved with initials or a name. The nib is a fine flex, with serious flex. There's some wear to the end of the barrel as a result of posting, and a few dents to the lip at the end of the barrel (pretty minor - probably also the result of posting). There are no other problems with the overlay - it's gorgeous. This is a truly beautiful pen that you're likely to use, given the superb flex nib.

Price: $300 inclusive of S/H/I
