If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
#1. ~SOLD~ to W-Y
Mabie Todd Co. Swan "Ink-Sight" safety pen in black chased hard rubber, with ink windows. These are fairly hard to find. I think this pen was made between about 1908 and 1915, according to information I have. The pen has been used, the nib tip has wear on it, otherwise it is in beautiful condition. The cap and barrel are threaded. I never used the pen, but it has a flexible 14K nib. The "Ink-Sight" windows in the barrel are perfectly clear. The imprints on the cap and barrel are very good and the chasing does not appear to have wear. There is no discoloration on the black hard rubber. The overall condition is Excellent.
~SOLD~ to W-Y $250.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 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 comes with burgundy colored leatherette covered box, that has an interior violet colored velvet bottom and white silk lined inner top. The top inside of the box has a foil sticker that appears to be from an Italian retailer. The box is in decent condition. The only damage I found are 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.

3. circa 1969 Parker "61" Mark ? cartridge/converter fill fountain pen in Turquoise with rose and yellow gold filled Rainbow cap. This version of Parker 61 with the cart./converter fill system is more desirable to some collectors and more sought after than the pens with the capillary fill system. This one comes with the original box and filling instructions. The pen had been filled and lightly used. It has some micro scratches on the cap, but I would still consider it to be in near mint condition. There is a bit of staining from turquoise colored ink in the ink sac. The nib is a very smooth writing Medium 14K. As you can see in one of the photos, it comes with a squeeze type converter. It comes with the original box and instructions.
Price reduced to $200.00 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!
