If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
#1 c. 1958 Parker 41 in "Surf Green" with a Lustraloy cap. These are lighter green than the turquoise color. Surf Green was also used for Parker 61's. The 41's have an Aerometric squeeze filling system that was used in 21's and late 51's. The cap has normal signs of use, i.e. light scratches and micro scratches. The nib shell and barrel have a nice polish. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine "Octanium" alloy. Capped the pen measures 5 1/4 inches or 13.5 cm.
Price reduced to $105.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1946 Parker "51" set with sterling silver caps in India Black, with original box. There are no dents, scratches, etc. on the caps. The plating over the sterling silver has flaked away and fallen off in different small spots/specks all over both caps, so it has a slight mottled effect where the specks of plating are missing. Yet, the set looks very nice and the overall condition is much better than average and I would rate the set at about 8.5 to 9 out of a possible 10. The nib is a smooth writing fat Extra Fine or Fine 14K. The leatherette covered box is not perfect, but I would say acceptable.
Price reduced to $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. 1946 Parker 51 full size fountain pen in Cordovan Brown with gold filled solid line cap. The cap has no dents or brassing. This one has Art Deco style initials imprinted on the barrel "FED", which I thought was kind of interesting. I did not color in the initials, but if you purchase the pen and tell me what color you would like the letters to be, I can do that for you. I think the initials were original silver colored. The nib is a smooth writing fat Fine or Medium with wet ink flow. It has a Vacumatic filling system. Capped the pen measures 5 7/16 inches or 13.3 cm. The blind cap has a bit of a tight fit, but flip side is that makes it more difficult to lose. The pen's condition is Excellent.

4. circa 1926 Parker number 31 in black lined Permanite plastic, made in Toronto, Canada. The pen reminds me of a Parker D.Q. model. There is no brassing on the clip or cap band. It does have some teeth marks on the blind cap and cap end. The cap end has a bunch of unusual scratches that sort of spiral outward from the center. They just make the top of the cap look dull. The barrel imprint is nice. It has light scratches from typical use. This is a long slender pen. Capped it measures 5 3/16 inches or 13.5 cm. The nib is a very smooth writing semi-flexible fat Fine.
Price $145.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. 1946 Parker Vacumatic Major in black. There is no brassing on the clip or cap band. The barrel imprint is deep with raised edges. The clear barrel segments have light ambering. The threads on the filler unit bushing is missing the anodized coating. The nib is a very smooth writing Fine or Medium 14K, with a bit of flex. Capped the pen measure 5 inches or 12.7 cm.
Price $140.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.
Photos eliminated due to FPG limitations.
6. 1943 Parker Vacumatic Junior fountain pen in vibrant emerald green. The clip has a little wear on the edges of the top two or three veins of the feather. The barrel imprint is deep. The barrel has typical ambering of the clear segments. The nib has a bit of wave behind the tip, but the tip halves are even and it feels good on paper. The nib is a very smooth writing Fine 14K arrow. Capped the pen measures 5 inches or 12.7 cm.

Rules, Shipping, Etc.
The usual rules apply, the person sending the first e-mail on an item
~stating intent to purchase~ gets the item. I will give you 5 days to
decide if you like the pen or not. I prefer payment by PayPal but also
accept checks or money orders in USD. I can only accept payment by
PayPal from countries outside the U.S. I ship worldwide, so
international customers are always welcome.
Prices are post paid in the U.S., and will be shipped with a tracking
number and insurance. I normally ship inside the U.S. by U.S.
Postal Service Priority Mail. I also ship to other countries by Priority
Mail which is about $34.00 USD and up to most countries, except Canada,
which is less. I can also ship to other countries by Express International Mail,
if you request it, but it is costly.
Return Policy: I will always allow pens, or other items, to be
returned. If there is a problem I would prefer the chance to fix the problem
or replace the item, when and if possible. Otherwise a full refund
will be offered. If you find a problem and choose to send the item
(pen, mechanical pencil, etc.) to someone else to be corrected, I will
not be responsible for any other problems.
Happy penning!
