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:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
#1. circa 1939 Waterman's "513 J" silver pearl with double blue-violet stripes. The double stripes outline a light silver stripe. This one was made in Canada. This model has a standard lever, not the split lever some versions had. There is no brassing on the clip, lever or cap bands. There is discoloration on the section, which is fairly typical for silver colored 513 J's. The nib is the highlight of this pen. It has a buttery smooth flexible Broad Stub 14K nib and has a wet writing ink flow. Capped the pen measures 5 1/16 inches or 12.9 cm. The cap diameter is slightly over 1/2 inch.
Price $225.00 shipping with insurance included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. circa 1918 to 1920's General Manufacturing Co. "Snap-Fil" ring top fountain pen in black lined hard rubber, with chased gold filled trim. These pens have an unusual reversed lever that has a little piece that drops down as the lever is opened, and presses against the pressure bar as you press down on the lever. There is some wear in places on the chasing and to the barrel imprint. It has some light discoloration to the black hard rubber, which is difficult to see in the photos. The nib is about a Flexible XX Fine that will make up to about a 1.5 mm line. The nib is 14K, marked Snapfil. Capped the pen measures 5 3/8 or 13.7 cm.
Price $185.00 shipping with insurance included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. 1940's Eversharp Skyline in dark green with scarce "Dart" pattern gold filled cap. I would put the scarcity of these pens right up there with the stainless steel and sterling silver capped versions, which are also hard to find. The only damage I found is brassing from cap posting wear on the outside edges of the lever, which is typical for Skylines. The nib is a smooth writing Medium 14K with generous ink flow and the nib has moderate flexibility. This is a full size Skyline and capped it measures 5 1/4 inches or 13.3 cm.
Price $245.00 shipping with insurance 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!
