Day after Christmas pen sale, still some leftovers, some vacumatics, a neat conklin, etc....

Usual... all working unless noted, all have a 1 year warranty, if working, etc.. not sold "as-is"

Shipping... Domestic priority! is $5, Domestic first class is free, International is $5, pay only one time, buy one or buy them all...

Payment... Paypal most preferred.

How it works... Send me an email (not a PM, facebook message, or letter) at ckrantz3@msn.com, saying "I want it" not... can you send me a few more pictures, that does not reserve a pen. I will however gladly send you additional pictures, really I will. I'll confirm it's yours, and you sorta pay, in a timely fashion, please. It's that simple....

Okay.....

Left to right....

A Wahl Oxford (eversharp student brand) lever filler in green marble. Nice looking pen, had a broken 14K wahl oxford nib, but I installed a nice skyline 14K fine point nib. writes really well. Nice easy to use fountain pen, inexpensive writer! ITEM PRICE $35 NOW $25

B Eversharp Skyline in brown, gold filled cap, pretty clean, nice 14K fine point, kinda firm, lever fill, full size. ITEM PRICE $50 NOW $40

C Eversharp 5th avenue ballpoint set, black, GF caps, not working, original ink refill, clean. ITEM PRICE $30 NOW $20

D Parker Vacumatic standard sized lockdown, three band. one of my favorite vacumatics, the early three band pens, nice size, write nice, problem free pens. This one is super clean, vibrant color, clean trim, nice fine point 14K proper two tone nib. ITEM PRICE $200 NOW $175

E Parker Vacumatic in red and black marble. This one has been an almost 1 year project, I was dead set on saving this pen. It actually is a nice pen, with a few tiny flaws. So you can get a great looking nice writing vacumatic, for a really good price, if you want to live with a few tiny issues... here they are... 1) nib has a tight and tiny base crack. 2) few tiny bite marks on the blind cap, 3) filler was sticky, but it seems good now. 4) section was broken off in pen barrel, required some "work" to get it out. Listen, I may be well overboard on a lot of these, it comes with a 1 year warranty, if anything creeps up and goes wrong, send it back, I'll make it right or your money back. simple. I think whoever gets this one will question whether I have OCD, but I wanted zero surprises... there are no chips, cracks, engravings, etc... my concerns were with the filler, the nib, and the section, but I feel that I addresses these, and it is a fine writing pen. If you find anything that you don't like, well, fear not. with that said, it is a nice writing fine point 14K parker vacumatic nib, lock down filler,, nice clarity. trim is real nice! ITEM PRICE $90 NOW $75

F Parker Vacumatic in black, two band junior style, vacumatic filler, nice clarity of barrel, nice smooth 14K fine point, clean pen. ITEM PRICE $50 NOW $40 SOLD

G Parker Duofold Geometric, (toothbrush duofold) larger size, in grey, slight discoloration. Button filler, decent pen overall, nice fine point Parker pen 14K nib. Trim is real clean, nice writer. ITEM PRICE $135 NOW $125 SOLD

H Parker Vacumatic Major in black, super clarity. nice fine 14K parker nib, vacumatic fill, clean pen. This one is a nice writer, there is a tiny flaw, two fine and small scratches on the nib, hard to see, don't affect writing. ITEM PRICE $65 NOW $50

I Conklin Glidder in stripped plastic. 14K fine nib, slight flex. it is a conklin marked nib as well! Visulated section, trim is average plus. lever plating is worn, band has some light pitting, clip is nice. The cap has a snug spot, when you remove or place on the barrel, typical, it is likely a slight shrinkage around the band. it threads nice, and probably from use, it will relax a bit. not major, but figured if you are interested, you want to know. Real pretty pen, writes well. ITEM PRICE $60 NOW $50 SOLD

J Sheaffer oversized balance in black. lever fill, really clean pen. This one has a great story. Bought new in 1928 (as a flattop) every item on this was replaced, except the nib, over the original owner's lifetime. It was last serviced in the 70's, where Sheaffer told the owner, they could not honor the lifetime warranty, and offered to replace it with a 60's era left over stock imperial. The long history of service is why this flattop is now a balance, with an early style nib. Writes great, neat story. ITEM PRICE $150 (last time, this is a super nice pen, surprised it did not sell) SOLD!

K Water Pen in black, lever fill. yes, you like it weird? here you go ya freak... this pen has a tiny ink tube that gets installed into the feed. fill it with water, it makes it's own ink. How many fills? I dunno. Does it work? not likely. Will it write for me? yes! It has been resacced, and rebuilt. I did not fill it, but if you fill it with ink, it will write like a regular pen. Fill it with water? I dunno. It has one new capsule installed, otherwise it would leak out. 4 more in the compartment in the back of the barrel. nice warranted 14K fine flex nib. ITEM PRICE $60 (last time.... really neat item)

L John Holland in green pearl celluloid. beautiful pen, nice applied trim, rarely seen. has some spread at the lever, correct 14K fine/medium John Holland Jewel nib, semi flex. ITEM PRICE $75 (last time as well, rare pen, surprised it is still here) SOLD

M Boston piston filler, I think from the UK. fine point 14 CT nib, seems to move, but not filling, as-is, pretty pen, requires servicing. ITEM PRICE $80 NOW $65

N Esterbrook J in pale green, lever fill, nice pen, fine 2556 nib. ITEM PRICE $25 SOLD!

O Esterbrook SJ in gray, pretty pen, great color. 9550 nib, lever fill, ITEM PRICE $30 NOW $25

yeah, the duofold is super cool. I am surprised that only two items sold at this point. Usually this is an active time, the space between Christmas and new years....

I'm happy to see that the Sheaffer Balance-Flat top sold, looked and sounded neat. The 'toothbrush' is a neat pen (I have one) so I dont need another one. If I had any money, the John Holland would be gone, sigh.
