Hi All,
Here are two great pens that I'm just not getting enough use out of lately.
1. Montblanc 142G in black--Great condition--no engraving, no bite marks, no serious trim or body wear (some minor corrosion on clip however), just restored by expert repairman Eldon Braun (fills very well). The ink window clarity is o.k.--not totally ambered, but definitely on the more orange side. Nib is a stubbish medium (the piston knob is marked "M", so I suspect the tipping is original) that has a lot of potential. As is, it is relatively smooth but on the dryer side of things. There is some very slight 'banana-ing' to the cap, but it does not whatsoever affect function and is barely noticeable. This is an excellent user or collection starter, but it will really only be comfortable for those with small hands. Now $155 OBO[I]
[I]I would also be willing to trade this for one the following pens:
Pelikan 400 brown tortoise
Parker Vacumatic Standard in burgundy pearl
Conklin Nozac
Waterman's flex nib lever filler(1920s)
Soennecken 111
22064
22080
22092
2. Parker Vacumatic Standard in black--a later production (1937?) 1st generation translucent-striped vac. Translucency is passable--it functions well when held up to any light, but is pretty ambered. USER GRADE--bite marks, trim wear, nib plating perfect but nib has a little dent on one side (doesn't affect function), and the clip assembly needs some work but functions as is (just is not perfectly flush with captop). Restored less than a year ago by Danny Fudge, fills very well. Nib is a smooth, slightly toothy (in the good way) and relatively wet medium-fine...really nice for notes. $45 Shipped CONUS SOLD
If interested, send me an email at dabantur@gmail.com.
Thanks!
