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. 1920's or early 30's Simplex continental safety fountain pen rolled gold with engine turned pattern. The only damage I found is 2 mm dent in the tapered part towards the barrel end, just under the engine turned design. I cannot find any brassing on the pen. The top of the cap has a flower design. The roller clip has a flower and leaf design. This is an eyedropper fill pen. The nib is propelled and retracted with a knob on the barrel end. The nib is a flexible Extra Fine warranted No. 2. The cork seal has been replaced. Capped the pen measures 4 7/8 inches or 12.4 cm. This is a really beautiful pen and my photos do not do it justice.
Price $375.00 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. 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.

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. 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!
