Hi all,
The pens on this sales list are all fresh from my workbench.
They have all been restored and are ready to fill with ink and write.
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. Parker 51 with one of my custom hand hammered and antiqued
sterling cap and India Black barrel. The barrel is a Vacumatic fill,
date coded "T6". The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine 14K and it has
nice ink flow. I only do a few 51's a year with the hammered caps. It
is a recycling project for me. I use damaged 51 caps that cannot be
saved any other way. The cap on this pen had a lot of plating loss,
deep dents, gouges and scratches, which I removed before I started the
hammering process.
Price $295.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. c. 1937 Conklin Nozac oversize "7M Word Gauge" in silver and gray
striped plastic. I have replaced the cork plunger gasket with modern
o-rings. The pen fills and writes very well. The plastic has a few
light marks from normal use, but the pen does not appear to have had
much use at all. I elected not to polish the plastic parts. I did a
light polish on the white gold filled trim and nib. There is no
brassing on the white gold filled trim parts. The clear barrel
segments have light ambering and you can see one segment in the photo
of the pen open. The pencil is working well and has an extra lead or
two under the cap, inside. I was surprised by how smoothly this pencil
operates. The nib is a very smooth writing Extra Fine 14K. Capped the
pen measures 5 3/8 inches or 13.5 cm. The overall condition of the pen
and pencil set is Excellent.
Price for the set $695.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. c. 1930 Conklin "Zebra" flat top student pen. I do not have to tell
most longtime pen collectors the scarcity of this pen. The pen had
been restored and resacced before I purchased it. If I were planning
on keeping it I would remove the ink sac or at least replace it with a
silicone sac. The only wear I can find is a spot of brassing on one
side of the tip of the clip. The barrel imprint looks very good. The
nib is a flexible Extra Fine. The nib tends to make railroad track
lines, but I may be able to fix that, if it matters to the next owner.
Capped pen measures 4 7/8 inches or 12.3 cm. The overall condition is
Excellent.
Price $750.00 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!
