Offered for your collecting and writing pleasure is the above instant collection of
8 Aurora Optimas, 6 of which are Limited Editions. Most of the nibs are special, hard to get sizes such as Italics, Stub, and Oblique that carry extra cost from Aurora. All but one pen (a non-LE) are accompanied by original boxes and papers, including the unopened small bottle of ink if that was part of the original package from Aurora.

Please note that for one week I am offering these pens only as a collection for one price, but not yet as individual pieces. If nobody buys the full collection (or most of it) this week, I will offer individual pens for sale beginning Monday April 3.

The pens with the nibs currently in them are listed below. Aurora nibs/feeds screw in and can be easily switched from pen to pen in seconds. Each brief description is followed by a link to a FotoTime album of closeup pictures of that pen. Finally, one closeup picture of each pen appears at the end of this post.

Price for the collection is $3400 which includes shipping within the US.

I will also include the terrific wood 20 pen dealer display box shown in the pictures, which bears the Aurora logo in two places.

Shipment outside US may be available at cost. Please inquire.

Just curious. The stub nib is tipped?

Looks like it is to me. This is a factory stub direct from Aurora on the Monviso. On the 365 it is a factory Broad (tipped) that was ground to a stub after it left the factory.

I would love that box. :dance3:

I'll be selling that after the pens go. Individual pens will be offered tomorrow if nobody buys the entire collection.
