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. 1960's Sheaffer's PFM 5 (V) in burgundy with gold filled cap. These are an oversized pen and the PFM V's were pretty much the apex of the series. The top of the cap has a very thin line of brassing and a bump mark on the edge. There is also an extremely shallow bump mark towards the bottom of the cap and a small dent (1.5 mm?) next to the clip. The pens have a Snorkel filling tube and filling system, the last Snorkel model produced by Sheaffer's. The nib is a smooth writing fat Fine 14K inlaid into the section. The ink sac and a barrel o-ring have been replaced. Capped the pen measures 5 5/16 inches or 13.1 cm. The barrel diameter is 1/2 inch or 12.7 cm.
Price further reduced to $295.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. circa 1928 Conklin fountain pen and pencil set in green. These are variously referred to as a Three Fifty Pen, Two Fifty Pencil (Conklin's designation) and many times called a "student set". The tip of the pen's clip has a speck of brassing on one side of the tip. The pencil mechanism seems to be working, but I think it has a lead too short to push out, so I will replace it. The pencil clip has a spot of brassing on one side and a flattened area on the nozzle. The nib is a Semi-Flexible Fine 14K and flexes from about Fine to Broad. Capped the pen measures 4 11/16 or 12.0 cm. The green sets and blue sets are less common than pens in the Endura line. They also came in red (orange) and also black.
Price reduced to $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. circa 1930's Sheaffer's oversize Lifetime, White Dot fountain pen in Black. This is a late flat top with a later clip, section, feed, etc. The lever is held in with a "C" shaped wire keeper, like the 30's Balance pens. There is no brassing on the trim that I could see. These later Sheaffer's flat tops are harder to find than the 1920's pens. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine 14K. Capped the pen measures 5 5/16 inches or 13.5 cm. I noted the date in my writing sample as 1932, but after I thought about it more, I think the date would be more like 1937, by the style of the feed and section. The condition of the pen is Excellent.

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!
