Vintage:
Pilot Elite Pocket Pen - 1976:
The vintage inspiration for the modern rehash that is the Pilot Elite 95s. In remarkably good condition with its only flaws being slight abrasion on the clip and cap jewel. The nib is a characteristically good 14k Pilot EF which writes an extremely fine line with the decent amount of feedback that you get with a nib this fine. Tines are perfectly aligned and the pen is ready to write.

100USD
Platinum Pocket Pen:
Another vintage Japanese pocket pen, replete with a Kanji nib marking of 'Fine'. Again in remarkably good condition with the only flaw being minor chipping on the back of the cap. The nib is a smooth 18k Platinum F which writes with a small amount of feedback. Tines are perfectly aligned and the pen is ready to write.

85USD
Sheaffer Balance Junior in Black:
A solid little pen sporting a No.3 F nib which writes very nicely. Minor cap abrasion, posting marks on the barrel and brassing are the main cosmetic flaws on the pen. It's also missing a pressure bar which can probably be easily sourced given the popularity of the Sheaffer Balance. Lever filler as well. An unrestored pen which would make a great workhorse after you've finished with it as a lever restoration project.

Modern:
Ranga Model 4 Frosted Demonstrator:
From Mehandiratta's FPN Group Buy in April 2017. An absolute boss of a workhorse when eyedroppered - the 4 or so mL of ink lasts forever and the thicker size of the pen means it's great for long writing sessions. The pen is fitted with a solid Bock No.6 in EF and comes with a Schmidt K6 converter as well. You can fit your own No.6 nib if you want. The frosted demonstrator look is great if you've inked the pen and always turns heads. The only flaw is a bit of blue ink staining around the threads.
