Please Excuse the slightly disarranged album (I'd misplaced the Flat Top and had to add it in after originally posting): https://imgur.com/a/Vu1DAe7

All the pens are in working order (they write and fill). Specifically, their conditions and prices are as follows:

The Eversharp has light brassing on the clip and lever: $60

The Sailor 1911 Standard has the zoom nib, which is very cool, and writes like a dream! I labeled it as a "Small" in the lineup because that's what it's always felt like to me, unfortunately! This does not come with a converter, but I'll try to dig up a black Sailor cartridge to include with it. $120

The Pelikan 100N is a favorite of mine, but too small for giant hands. It has a pretty flexy nib, but as you can see in the group shot, the cap does not fully cover the piston window. At one point, it was also engraved with the name "Herman Berger", though this has faded to the point where it's difficult to make out. I've tried to capture it in the closeup. I believe this is from the period where they used celluloid (and it is a beautiful pattern): $120

The Pelikan 400 is more of a budget buy. Although the pen fills and writes perfectly fine, there is a blue stain running along the top portion of the celluloid. Perhaps someone with an ultrasonic cleaner could clean this off? Unfortunately, there's also a crack in the collar which slowly leaks ink onto your fingers while writing. This will have to be sealed, but I'm just not interested in the task. A great pen for someone interested in old Pelikans, but who doesn't want to break the bank! $100

The Waterman's 94 is a really unusual beast! To the best of my knowledge, they almost always have the number 94 engraved on the bottom. This one (for whatever reason) does not. That said, it's dimensions match the 94, and I have no other reason to suspect it isn't (I purchased this a few years ago from a well known user on FPGeeks who was able to convince me of its provenance at that time). $175

Finally, The Sheaffer's Hard Rubber Flat Top has the large 14k gold band around the cap, but this one isn't engraved with anything but its karats! Could be a good opportunity for a gift ;) It fills and writes perfectly fine, but the new owner will need to get some shellac for the collar, as it's come loose. (That is, the coll, nib, and sac can separate from the barrel. Both slide back in easily, but still!) Also of note: This Lifetime nib is as hard as a nail! Truly no flex to it whatsoever! $175

Let me know if you have any questions, or if you want to try lowballing me :)
