If you see one or more pens that you like, please E-mail me at:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
Pen #1. c. 1924 Waterman's No. 58 fountain pen in black chased hard
rubber. The pen has some moderate discoloration to the HR. The chasing
on the cap is very deep and distinct, but the barrel imprint and
chasing is worn and light. The nib was repaired by Greg Minuskin. The
nib is a smooth writing Flexible Medium 14K #8. It will make a double
broad line with light pressure. Capped the pen measures 6 inches or
15.2 cm. The cap is 5/8 inch in diameter. This is the next to the
largest pen that Waterman's made. I lightly hand polished the pen with
liquid polish to remove some of the oxidation.
Price $750.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. c. 1928 Waterman's 52V Rose Ripple ring top vest pocket pen.
Rose Ripple Waterman's are the hardest to find of the Ripples.
This one is missing the screw-in ring, on top of the cap. I would
have replaced the ring, but the only extra ring set I have is nickel
and not gold filled. If I were keeping this pen, I probably would have
put a slip-on gold filled Waterman's clip on it. The barrel imprint has
some wear, but it is all legible. The nib is an exceptionally smooth
writing Flexible Fine 14K and will make a broad line with light
pressure. Capped the pen measures 4 3/8 inchs or 11.1 cm.
It is a beautiful pen and the rose color is a bit brighter pink than
other examples I have.
Price $475.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. c. 1928 Waterman's No. 52 fountain pen in black chased hard rubber,
in the original box, with four page instruction sheet with parts price
list. This is probably the nicest example of a BCHR 52 I have ever
offered for sale. The only damage I found are some very light
scratches on the barrel end from the cap being posted. The pen is
shiny black and almost looks like it came from the factory yesterday.
The chasing is deep and the barrel imprint is deep with sharp, crisp,
raised edges. The nib is a very smooth writing semi-Flexible Fine 14K.
A broad line can be achieved with moderate pressure. This is a
collector grade pen.
Price $275.00 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 can also ship to other countries by
Priority Mail, but I prefer to ship by Express International Mail. I
have to charge by Express International Mail, depending on which
country the item will be sent to, but it can be insured and can
usually be tracked online.
Return Policy: I will always allow pens, or other items, to be
returned. f 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!
