Vintage eversharp and parker 45

[Terie_Benjamin]

I picked up these pens at a flea market. I think I'd like to sell them. 1 Arrow 45 and two Eversharp Challengers. sell the lot for $70 or individually for $25 each.

The price of a 45 depends on a lot of things, from condition to filling system to nib. If that is a medium nib that is not gold, with a cartridge filling system, in good but not mint condition, then I have gotten ones like it for probably in the teens and up. I think the all plastic ones are less common than the ones with metal caps - not sure what that does to the price, though.

I think the Eversharps of the same style are probably less - big question - do they take a cartridge that can still be purchased? If not, that makes it more difficult to move them. I really don't know if they do or they don't.

You can use a Quink cartridge or even Lamy cartridge in the Big E's. I've used a Parker converter in mine. But I agree with scrivelry on the Parker as far as price. I've gotten Arrows at all kinds of prices; pristine ones with chalk marks go for higher prices, but I've picked up user grade pens with steel nibs for anywhere from $9.00 to $20.00. I've sometimes scored user grade pens with 14K gold nibs for that price, too, though. I recently looked at the ones on ebay and laughed at what they are asking. They aren't even an unusual color or mint or anything.

They all take cartridges it has a b on the underside of the nib
