Up for your consideration today are four affordable vintage pens. Two of them have nice flex nibs and the other two are also solid everyday carries. All pens have been restored and are in working condition.
1. Paul E. Wirt BHR, flex nib
This is an eyedropper and the BHR has some discoloration. Noticeable if you look closely and far from brown. The cap has a chip at the edge and the imprint is visible but with some wear. The true jewel is the nib. This is a very flexible nib with some serious line variation. It goes from EF/F to BBB with minimal pressure. The pen works perfectly but you are really buying the nib. So please check out the writing sample.
Asking $55, reduced to $50 shipped USCON
2. No name onyx fountain pen, flex M stub
This is a no name fountain pen in the attractive onyx celluloid. Some discoloration and look very similar to the onyx Watermans. The barrel has the typical bulge near the lever box due to shrinkage. It has a very nice 14Ct stub nib, also with great flex. Goes from M to BBB with pressure. The pen works perfectly but you are really buying the nib. So please check out the writing sample.
Asking $35 shipped USCON, SOLD
3. Sheaffer slim balance
Full length and slender girth. The green celluloid body is in very good condition with some typical wear. Brassing on the cap and clip. The gold nib writes smoothly and lays down a true EF line. Typical sheaffer firm nib.
Asking $30, reduced to $25 shippped USCON
4. Esterbrook J, 9556
Near mint Esterbrook J with the common 9556 nib. Reliable pen. Both jewels intact.
Asking $25 shipped USCON SOLD
No international shipping please and let me know if you have any question. I'll also combine shipping for multiple pens.
For a limited time, I'll also include a small sample from the Noodlers 2017/18 Boston Pen show inks. Not supposed to be a motivation to buy more than you want, but a nice interesting extra. :)
