Hi all,

The pens on this sales list are all fresh from my workbench. This will
be the last sales list that I will be offering before the Pacific
Northwest Pen Round-Up!, on Saturday, July 13th.

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. ~SOLD~ to T.M.
1928 to '32 Waterman's Olive Ripple desk set. I looked closely
at the marble desk base and could not find any chips along the edges,
corners or anywhere. The socket/trumpet has some extremely small
specks of tarnish, here and there. There is no brassing on the lever
and the tip on the end of the taper looks pretty good. The nib is a
very smooth writing Flexible Fine #2 in 14K.

~SOLD~ to T.M. $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. Parker 51 in India Black with custom hand hammered gold filled cap.
The style of hammering on the cap is what I call Small Dimples. The
dimples are about the size of a small pinhead, generally about .75 to
.50 mm. This cap has an amber colored jewel on top. The cap and clip
have no brassing. The barrel is a Vacumatic fill with a date code of
T6. The nib is a smooth writing Fine 14K. The nib has nice flow. This
is a recycling project for me, I only hammer a few of these caps per
year. I use caps that are damaged with deep scratches and other
damages that cannot be restored.

Price $295.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. Early 1930's Parker Streamline Duofold Junior in black and
burgundy. The pen has a short lived two tone nib. I have forgotten
when the Parker pens with two tone nibs were made, but they are kind
of hard to find. The pocket clip has typical brassing across the ball
of the clip, the cap bands look good. The nib is a smooth writing Fine
2 tone. The white plating has micro scratches, but appears it is all
there. The barrel imprint appears to be as deep as it ever was. Capped
the pen measures 4 3/4 inches or 12 cm. Overall the pen is in
Excellent condition. Oh, and I installed a real silicone ink sac in
it. Did I mention it is a darn good looking pen?

Price $225.00 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!
