4. 1920's Marxton oversize flat top fountain pen in pale jade green. I have to say, this is the most beautiful jade colored celluloid pen I have ever seen. These were made by Eclipse. The pen is a bit larger in diameter than a flat top oversize Sheaffer's. There is a very slight bit of brassing on the bottom edge of the cap ring in a couple of places. The nib is a smooth writing Semi-Flexible Extra Fine 14K, with good ink flow. I would call it a "soft nib" with the amount of flex it has. Capped the pen measures 5 1/4 inches or 13.4 cm. The condition is Excellent.

Price reduced to $150.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. circa 1931 Sheaffer's full standard size White Dot Lifetime Balance pen in "Emerald" and black aka Marine Green. I believe this is the earliest version of the Balance in this color. The barrel imprint is deep and it has the patent number. There are tiny specks of brassing on either side of the clip ball. The barrel does not appear to have any discoloration. The nib is a very smooth writing Fine 14K Lifetime. Capped the pen measures 5 3/8 inches or 13.7 cm. The condition is Excellent.

Price $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. 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 reduced to $250.00 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!
