If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
#1. 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.

2. 1946 Parker "51" set with sterling silver caps in India Black, with original box. There are no dents, scratches, etc. on the caps. The plating over the sterling silver has flaked away and fallen off in different small spots/specks all over both caps, so it has a slight mottled effect where the specks of plating are missing. Yet, the set looks very nice and the overall condition is much better than average and I would rate the set at about 8.5 to 9 out of a possible 10. The nib is a smooth writing fat Extra Fine or Fine 14K. The leatherette covered box is not perfect, but I would say acceptable.
Price reduced to $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. circa 1932 Diamond Medal fountain pen and pencil combination in jade green. It has some discoloration on the barrel and lower 3rd of the cap. There is also some brassing on the top of the clip ball. The pencil mechanism is working smooth. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine 14K number 4 size, with minimal flex. The top of the cap is stepped and has three gold filled bands and has a great Art Deco appearance. Capped it measures 5 3/4 inches or 14.5 cm.
Price $150.00 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!
