If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
#1. ~SOLD~ to D.L.M.
1930's Kosca fountain pen with octagonal .900 silver overlay. The overlay is a "Barleycorn" pattern, with latitudinal stripes on the cap. Kosca made high quality piston fill fountain pens. This one comes with burgundy colored leatherette covered box, that has an interior violet colored velvet bottom and white silk lined inner top. The top inside of the box has a foil sticker that appears to be from an Italian retailer. The box is in decent condition. The only damage I found are a couple of bump marks on the top edge of the cap. The clip is marked ".900" for the silver content of the overlay. The barrel has a blind cap, which you remove to access the turning knob for the piston filler. The nib was made by Degussa, which made high quality nibs and other gold products. It is a smooth Flexible Fine 14K with good ink flow. Capped the pen measures 4 1/4 inches or 10.7 cm.
~SOLD~ to D.L.M. $250.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1930's (pre-'34) Sheaffer's pen and pencil combination in black and pearl. The clip ball has brassing on top, but the rest of the trim looks good. The cap and barrel have some scratches from use. The pencil mechanism is working smooth. This is a lever fill pen. It has one small area of moderate discoloration on the barrel. The nib is very smooth writing fat Fine or Medium marked "5-30" 14K. Capped the combo measures 5 15/16 inches or 15.1 cm. The overall condition is Excellent.
Price reduce to $235.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. 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 perfectly 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!
