1. Conklin Crescent 5NL - Flex Nib
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/2nZNU4H
Crescent filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink The crescent filler is missing the 'sleeve' but the filling mechanism works as it should.
14K Gold Conklin #5 Nib - Fine point, good writer, good flex, goes from f to BBB, see writing sample. This is a big #5 nib and these bigger sized vintage Conklin are very hard to come by.
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, chips, or cracks, but like any vintage/used pen it may have light scratches/signs of use.
There is a crack in the cap, see pictures. Cap screws onto the barrel as it should and protects the nib. Some oxidization to the ebonite.
The rocker clip on cap functions great and is one of my favorite features of these vintage conklins. Imprint on tail end of barrel reads Trademark 5NL
Pen measures roughly 5.25 inches capped
See pictures for details.
Asking $135

2. Webster Gold Crown - Flex Nib Restored

I love the grip section of this pen, it has a nice transparent ink window in it and will let you know when you are running low on ink.
Lever filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink
14K Gold Nib - Fine point, good writer, good flex, goes from f to BB, see writing sample
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. Light scratches on barrel but nothing major
Pen has replacement cap, brown striped cap, screws onto the barrel and protects the nib.
See pictures for details.
Asking $55

3. Esterbrook Red - 9450 Nib, Hairline Crack

Beautiful red celluloid material
Lever Filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink
9450 Nib - Fine point, decent writer, see writing sample (Sorry for sloppy writing sample)
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, but like any vintage/used pen it may have light scratches/signs of use.
There is hairline crack on the barrel at the level of the threads. Brownish discoloration/oxidization to grip section. Not a perfect pen but it works and can be used.
I believe this is the bigger Esterbrook model, rather than the smaller models.
See pictures for details.
Asking $15

4. Black Ebonite Slide Filler - Flex Nib, Restored, Crack in Cap
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/0Qs4lJa
Pen has an interesting and unusual slide filler mechanism (I don't know if this is the exact name), it functions similar to crescent filler, you push the sleeve to reveal sac and then slide the crescent-like mechanism and pen will suck up ink.
Pen has a slip on cap. Cap slips onto the barrel as it should and protects the nib. There is big crack in cap
Slide Filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink
14K Gold Nib - Fine point, good writer, good flex, goes from f to BB+, see writing sample. Nib has some creases to it and appears to be straightened. Tines are slightly misaligned but writes well.
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, chips, or cracks, but like any vintage/used pen it may have light scratches/signs of use.
Asking $65

5. Good Service Green Celluloid - Flex Nib, Needs Work
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/OmVbI7I
Beautiful Grassy Green Celluloid Material.
Lever Filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink
14K Gold Nib - Fine point, good writer, good flex, goes from f to BB, see writing sample. Tines might be slightly misaligned but writes well.
There is gap between nib and feed, so the feed does not provide ink flow to nib. Feed will need either heat setting or replacement for pen to fully work.
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, chips, or cracks, but like any vintage/used pen it may have light scratches/signs of use.
Personal engraving on cap.
