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.
4. 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.

5. ~SOLD~ to A.E.
circa 1928 Conklin fountain pen and pencil set in green. These are variously referred to as a Three Fifty Pen, Two Fifty Pencil (Conklin's designation) and many times called a "student set". The tip of the pen's clip has a speck of brassing on one side of the tip. The pencil mechanism seems to be working, but I think it has a lead too short to push out, so I will replace it. The pencil clip has a spot of brassing on one side and a flattened area on the nozzle. The nib is a Semi-Flexible Fine 14K and flexes from about Fine to Broad. Capped the pen measures 4 11/16 or 12.0 cm. The green sets and blue sets are less common than pens in the Endura line. They also came in red (orange) and also black.
~SOLD~ to A.E. $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. 1943 Parker Vacumatic Junior fountain pen in vibrant emerald green. These are the same size as a Vac Major, they just have different cap bands and no blue diamond on the clip. The clip has a little wear on the edges of the top two or three veins of the feather. The barrel imprint is deep. The barrel has typical ambering of the clear segments. The nib has a bit of wave behind the tip, but the tip halves are even and it feels good on paper. The nib is a very smooth writing Fine 14K arrow. Capped the pen measures 5 inches or 12.7 cm.
Price reduced to $155.00 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!
