I have six great vintage pens for you. All of them are restored and in working condition and they are pretty much everywhere from super affordable to grails with good prices.
1. 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 $25 shippped USCON
2. 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 $50 shipped USCON
3. Sheaffer Balance Military clip
The brown celluloid Balance with the military clip. Great restored condition with nice transparency for the ink window. Medium gold nib is smooth and has some softness, not flex not semiflex, just softer than typical Sheaffer nails.
Asking $40 shipped USCON
4. Eversharp Skyline
Gold filled cap is in excellent condition without any brassing as I can see. The cap also complements the burgundy body well. Firm nib writes a true fine line. A very reliable pen.
Asking $65 shipped USCON
5. Conklin Crescent filler
This is once my grail. The BHR Crescent filler in very hard to find condition. No chip, no crack, minimal discoloration. And to make it better, a wet and flexible nib. It's in great restored condition and ready for a new home.
Asking $175 shipped USCON
6. Sheaffer Snorkel, Mandarin
Another grail. Highly sought after mandarin color. The Snorkel filling system is also restored and very pleasant to use. Rigid Sheaffer nib is very smooth and lays down a wet medium line. There are some small dents on the turning nob but hard to see and I've tried my best to capture that in the picture.
