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 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.

2. 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 reduced to $165.00 shipping 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!
