Hi all,
These pens have been restored inside and outside and are ready to fill with ink and use, unless noted otherwise.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please reply to me at:

If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
4. circa 1925 Waterman's number 55 in Cardinal Red hard rubber. I did not polish this pen and it has a number of light teeth marks and a couple of deeper ones. It also has a couple of scratches and typical micro scratches. The clip has some bubbling of the gold around the edges, a speck of gold missing from the lever and a speck of wear on either side of the clip ball. After seeing the closeup shot of the nib, it looks like I need to polish it a bit. The imprints have some wear, but are all legible. The ink sac has been replaced. The box has lots of text graphics, is quite interesting and contains a slip that advertises Waterman's inks. Capped the pen measures 5 1/2 inches or 14 cm.
Price reduced to $450.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. 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.
Price reduced to $155.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc.below."

6. c. 1938 Croxley in burgundy pearl and black. I have always liked the stepped Art Deco clips and lever tabs on the Croxley pens. There is some pitting along the ridge of the lever and a bit on the cap band, which is typical for these pens. The barrel is imprinted "Made in Gt Britain" and "The Croxley Pen - A Dickinson Product". The pen has the wrong nib, but it is an upgrade from my point of view. The nib is a very smooth writing Parker Medium 14K that was made in the UK. It's not too flexible, but I would call it a "soft" nib. The plastic is very reminiscent of the black and burgundy pearl that Parker used, but a bit lighter and has more reflective quality. 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!
