Hi all! A couple with stubby, chonky nibs up today. Pics, verification, and writing samples here: http://imgur.com/a/AfCdkJJ.
First up is a catch and release for me: a Taccia Pinnacle with a stainless steel music nib! The nibs on these are made by Sailor and are absolutely gorgeous. It writes like a dream and puts down quite a bit of ink. I adore the nib, I just don't live the look of the pen, so I'm letting it go. Asking $80 OBO with tracked/insured CONUS shipping and converter.
SOLD Next is my deep forest green Sheaffer Balance II with a 14 karat gold stub/italic nib straight from the Sheaffer factory! This pen was made, I believe, in the early 2000s as a sort of homage to the Balance model of the early 20th century. The nib is the star here—it's got a touch of softness and tons of natural line variation from the shape, making it suitable for handwriting with a bunch of flair or even calligraphy. The one flaw is a crack in the cap under the clip, a common problem with these pens unfortunately. It obviously doesn't affect the function of the pen whatsoever, but it's definitely noticeable under the right light. Asking $100 or best offer, including tracked/insured CONUS shipping and Sheaffer converter. I'll toss in the matching Sheaffer Balance ballpoint (same color) I have for an extra $15 if you like!
As ever, message with questions, offers, and puns. Happy writing!
