7 FS - Parker, Sheaffer, etc
1. Parker Parkette Deluxe Fountain Pen Rare Turquoise Color - Semi Flex
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/F1V2l7T
Beautiful Rare Green 'Turquoise' faceted celluloid.
Lever filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink.
14K Gold Parker Two Tone Nib - fine point, good writer, semi flex, goes from f to B.
Pen is in Mint condition, wonderfully well taken care of.
Please see pictures for more detail.
Pencil is included in sale, as this is a set. I have not tested pencil so I don't know if it works, pencil is sold as is.
Because of rarity of this color, there is very little information out there. I did find some information on Vacumania site which i pasted below:
"At the first Long Island Pen Show in November 2006, a rather nifty Type 1 A Parkette was brought in for photography. This one featured a most unusual Turquoise plastic. As the pen is USA-made it will be shown in this section (some anomalous Canadian colors will be featured in a separate section near the end of this essay). As always, just because one or another catalog available to us fails to illustrate a color, does not exclude that color from "regular production" status. Was this pen an trial color produced in short run? Was it a regular run color shortly to be replaced by the more prevalent Green? Was it produced from an unstable batch of green plastic, shifting over time to the more blue hue? Or was it just a batch variation in the usual green, sold with no special fanfare? We can but speculate. This definitely is an anomalous color."
Asking $175
2. Sheaffer Brown Balance Fountain Pen
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/JA5wbPN
Lever filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink.
14K Gold Nib - XF to Fine point, good writer
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, chips, or cracks, but like any vintage pen it may have light scratches/signs of use.
Pen measures roughly 5.375 inches capped
Asking $49
3. Lecai Eyedropper Fountain Pen - 14k Sheaffer Nib
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/iQfwyM6
14K Sheaffer Gold Nib - Medium stub, good writer though nib does have a sweet spot, you can squeenze out some good line variation, goes from medium to B or BB.
The Sheaffer nib unit just screws onto the Lecai pen and it works. The Lecai barrel is filled directly with ink and pen writes well. The cap screws over the Sheaffer nib but don't over tighten the cap. I tried to add a smokey effect to the cap but it didn't come out so good, cap has many scratches due to smokey effect.
The Lecai pen will also come with an extra pen - the Moonman eyedropper pen, i think i've inked this pen once but otherwise in great condition.
Please see pictures for more detail.
Asking $65
4. Blue Orange Fountain Pen - 14K Visconti Nib
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/jTim5Lh
14K Gold Two-Toned Visconti Nib - Broad point, good writer, lays down a nice wet line. Soft nib, you can get some nice line variation from it. These 14K gold Visconti Nibs are pretty rare and hard to find these days.
Pen is in great condition however the cap band and the clip have some aging/patina/plating loss to it. I'm not sure if the clip and cap band are made of sterling silver but its possible but i dont know for sure.
Pen is in otherwise great condition, the blue cap and the orange barrel looks stunning together, and I hope will brighten up your day!
Comes with ink converter.
Asking $185
