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.
#1.1930's Kosca fountain pen with octagonal .900 silver overlay. The overlay is a "Barleycorn" pattern, with latitudinal stripes on the cap. Kosca made high quality piston fill fountain pens. This one also comes with burgundy colored leatherette covered box, that has an interior violet colored velvet bottom and white silk lined inner top. I forgot to take photos of the box, but it is in decent condition. The only damage I found is a couple of bump marks on the top edge of the cap. The clip is marked ".900" for the silver content of the overlay. The barrel has a blind cap, which you remove to access the turning knob for the piston filler. The nib was made by Degussa, which made high quality nibs and other gold products. It is a smooth Flexible Fine 14K with good ink flow. Capped the pen measures 4 1/4 inches or 10.7 cm.
Price $275.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. ~SOLD~ to K.D.
Ornate sterling silver chatelaine pen holder and Swan eyedropper fill fountain in black chased hard rubber with gold filled barrel bands. The silver pen holder is missing the neck chain. It has a dent on the indicia and dings on the ends. The indicia is engraved Glasgow (Scotland) and 1910. The hallmarks are Sterling, it has one mark, an anchor, indicating it was made in Birmingham (England) and the date mark is "h" for 1907. The engraving and tooling on this piece is very deep. The pen is a Mabie Todd "Swan" made around the same period as the sterling holder. The pen is in exceptionally nice condition. The only flaw I found is part of the under part of the feed is broken off. Since it is an over/under feed the ink still flows down the over feed portion. The nib is a smooth Flexible Fine 14K with wet ink flow. Capped the pen measures 5 5/16 inches or 13.6 cm. My guess is that the sterling pen holder was sold as a Scottish souvenir. The top part of the holder would have been lifted up the chain to access the fountain pen to remove it for use.
~SOLD~ to K.D. $495.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. circa 1928 Waterman's No. 95 mechanical pencil in Olive Ripple hard rubber. There is no damage of any sort I can see. The gold filled trim has no brassing. The pencil mechanism is working well. This would match an Olive Ripple 94 or 994 fountain pen. The length of the pencil is 5 inches or 12.7 cm. The condition is Excellent.
Price $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!
