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:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
#1. circa 1910 Waterman's sleeve filler "SF 12" in black chased hard rubber, with hand engraved gold filled barrel band. The pen has some wear to the chasing and the imprint on the sleeve. There is also a small scratch by one of the vent holes on the cap. There is also a very thin line of brassing along part of one edge of the barrel band. The barrel band is nicely engraved and the indicia panel on the band does not have initials, but it does have a tiny bump mark. The nib is a Flexible Medium 14K and will write from about Medium to double broad. It is a wet writer and will make up to about a 1.5 mm line. The clip is nickel silver with patent dates of 1910 and '05. This model was only made for about six years and are sought after by collectors. It has a slip cap. Capped the pen measures 5 7/16 inches or 14.2 cm. I opened the sleeve on the barrel to show the pressure bar in the second photo.
Price $285.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. ~SOLD~ to D.L.M.
1929 Wahl Eversharp "Equi-Poised" fountain pen in Jade Green. From what I have found, this version of Equipoised pen was only made for part of 1929. In 1930 the design was changed for a third or fourth time. There is no brassing on the gold filled trim, there is a bit of discoloration around the top of the cap and the plastic in barrel has lightened a small amount. This pen is particularly interesting. It was made for the Edgewater Beach Hotel and is imprinted as such on the barrel. "The Edgwater Beach Hotel was a resort hotel complex on Lake Michigan in the far-north neighborhood community of Edgewater in Chicago, Illinois, designed by Benjamin H. Marshall and Charles E. Fox. The first section was built in 1916 for its owners John Tobin Connery and James Patrick Connery, located between Sheridan Road and Lake Michigan at Berwyn Avenue. An adjacent south tower building was added in 1924." Capped the pen measures 5 inches or 12.7 cm.
~SOLD~ to D.L.M. $375.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. ~SOLD~ to C.B.
circa 1928 Waterman's No. 95 mechanical pencil in Blue Ripple hard rubber. The only damage I can see are marks around the top edge. The gold filled trim has no brassing. The pencil mechanism is working well. This would match a Blue Ripple 94 or 994 fountain pen. The length of the pencil is 4 15/16 inches or 12.6 cm.
~SOLD~ to C.B. $145.00 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!
