Shipping : Due to the extreme delays of our postal system I would like to avoid any international purchases. For those in the US all pens include USPS 1st class shipping, USPS priority shipping can be added for $5 more.
Trades/OBO: May be open to trades on some pens, offers may be considered especially if on multiple pens.

Unbranded tiny little lever filler pen - $25
A very smooth and wet-leaning steel nib. New sac as of 2020 and tested.

Esterbrook Dollar Pen in red with a #3556 "Sunburst" steel nib - $80
The 3xxx series tipping quality is comparable to the 9xxx series. Some small scratches near the top left of the cap and general wear.
Sac'd as of last year and writes.
Sheaffer Balance Junior, "Rose Glow" - $65
This is a darker variant closer to carmine, but is still considered rose glow as noted by the silver slivers of striation in the celluloid.
14K smooth firm fine nib. New sac as of mid-2020, used to have a small crack on the barrel thread that was cured.
The grip has some translucency to it, but is mostly ambered. The clip and trim have very noticeable loss of nickle plating. $65

Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman in Pastel Green with a PdAg (Palladium Silver) Medium nib - $100

Wahl/Eversharp Skyline Standard in Black with a Green/White striated cap. - $60
Has a slight warp in the barrel thickness probably from heat. Sac'd 2020, has a 14K nib that seems to be slightly semiflex near the EF~F point size.
Wahl Eversharp Skyline in Brown Modern Moire (early 40s) - $150
Clip as you can see isn't quite straight on the cap, but will hold firmly as the dome has been affixed to the cap barrel with some thread sealant (the kind from pensacs.com before they closed down), the nib is a nice thick broad 14K nib matching almost an actual modern western broad (vintage Wahl broads were more like today's medium nibs).
Comes with a matching pencil that has a click-advance on the lead. Sac'd mid-2020 with a fresh breather tube.

Wahl/Eversharp "Fifth Avenue" (Late 1940s Model) - $45
Has the smaller nib/feed giving it more spacing between it and the hooding (earlier model used the same magic feed and nib as the skyline, but had no breathing room within the hood).
New large #18 latex sac running the full length of the barrel with a fresh teflon breather tube installed. It's an interesting pen, but the cap design on this model isn't very well sealed and can be prone to dry outs or hard starts if not used regularly (I usually store my pens upright when not in use, so storing on the side may help). There is a very small hairline crack in the barrel by the gold trim ring that doesn't affect the function of the pen and only widens when the section is unscrewed from the barrel (it's threaded).
Nib is a 14K EF that leans a little towards XXF (or Japanese EF), with a little bounciness feel to the nib, but no flex or softness.
