Clearing out some pens that have just been sitting around. Pick your pen/pens and add $6.80 for shipping CONUS (pm me to discuss international rates).
Silver Pearl Vacumatic - second generation pen. The pen has be restored and fills and writes as it should, per former owner - I dipped but did not fill. Nib is a wet medium with some flex, however the tines appear to have damage that was restored. $60
Golden pearl Vac, more significant wear on pen, and several scratches along feed and end. Nib is nearly a needle point and close to a nail. This one was sitting in a drawer for 40 years, so it will need some love to get up and running. $45
Levenger True Writer - frankenpen, yellow body with a red nib unit. Writes well. $20
