4. ~SOLD~ to D.W.
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.
~SOLD~ to D.W. $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. circa 1929 Parker Duofold Senior "Deluxe" set in Moderne Black and Pearl. The pen is a different one from the one I sold recently. The only damage I noticed on the pen, other than barrel discoloration, is that the barrel imprint is nearly obliterated, by some old time pen repairman polishing it too aggressively, I suspect. There is no brassing on the clip or cap bands. The pencil clip has brassing across the ball. The gold filled bands and nozzle look good. The pencil mechanism is working well and it propels and repels the lead nice and smooth. The nib is a very smooth writing fat Fine. Capped the pen measures 5 1/8 inches or 13.0 cm.
Price reduced to $295.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6.1960'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.

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!
