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.

80 USD

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.

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.
