Hi Everyone, I managed to get my hands on these in a recent ebay bulk buy. I've managed to ID the Sheaffer, which i think is a Snorkle Admiral? (please correct me if i'm wrong).

I could use your expertise on the others. Thanks

I think the 4th one from the left is also a Sheaffer...not really sure about the rest, but the 3rd from the left looks like it has a mangled nib.

I am not sure on the Sheaffer comment for the 4th one from the left. Very common pen (The Sheaffer version). I have the pen/pencil set but the clip looks wrong to be a Sheaffer. They usually have "Sheaffer's" engraved on the clip and not that indentation at the top. No metal "finial" at the barrel end either. I might be wrong. Here is my set for comparison. It might have "Sheaffer's" engraved on the barrel somewhere. I have two of the pens and one of them does have the engraving on the barrel. You can kind of see it in my photo, just above the clutch ring.

The first one on the left does look Sheaffer-esque, does it have the snorkel on the underside of the nib?

The 3rd pen looks like a Pilot eyedropper, but I don't think it is.

Thanks guys, the first pen does have the snorkel, I'm pretty sure it's a snorkel admiral. The others don't seem to have much in the way of things like logos or markings. I haven't got my camera on me, I'll post some more photos as soon as I do.
