Hi all,
The pens on this sales list are all fresh from my workbench.
They have all been restored inside and out, and are ready to
fill with ink and write. Except for the mint/near mint Waterman's
Olive Ripple No. 94.
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.
1. 1928 to '30 Waterman's olive Ripple No. 94 pen and No. 95 pencil
set. Both pieces have the original price stickers on the ends. The pen
had been inked or dip tested, but does not show signs of use. Both pen
and pencil have the name S. Bannikoff imprinted on the barrels. I did
not polish the set, so they have micro scratches, here and there. I
cleaned the nib, section and feed and removed the old ink sac,
figuring no one "in their right mind" would actually want to use the
set. There is no discoloration to the hard rubber. The pencil is in
working condition. I am calling this a mint condition ink tested set.
Price $950.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1930's Eversharp so called "Round Doric" in black. I am not sure
exactly when these were made. There is not much information on them in
the pen reference books and the little bit of info on dates varies. I
do not think this was a cataloged model, but I'm sure someone will let
me know if it was. I do know that this model is kind of hard to find.
The only places the pen been imprinted is on the clip and nib. There
is a little wear to the gold on the high edges of the clip, but no
real damage to report. Sherrell Tyree, aka Inkpen East, did the
restoration of the fill system for me. She replaced the old coated
plunger rod with a nice Sheaffer's stainless steel rod of the same
length as the old one. The nib is a smooth writing fat Fine or narrow
Medium and has some flexibility, when moderate pressure is applied. It
lays down a nice wet line. One of the coolest things about this pen is
the barrel, it is clear with black chunks in it. It has some light
ambering, but I would say it is much better than average, for pens
with visulated barrels. Overall the pen is in Excellent condition.
Price $275.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. ~SOLD~ to S.N.
circa 1928 Sheaffer's J74SC short model vest pocket (with pocket
clip) flat top pen in bright jade green. The color in this pen is very
near perfect. It might have a hint of discoloration next to the barrel
threads, where the cap covers the barrel, and maybe towards the barrel
end, but it is insignificant. The clip has some brassing across the
top of the ball. It is a Lifetime White Dot model. This model is shown
with a wide single cap band, some of the other 1928 flat top
Sheaffer's pens had narrow double bands. The nib is either a fat Extra
Fine or narrow Fine. It is a smooth writer. At any rate, it is a nice
example of this model and color. I would grade it as being in
Excellent condition.
~SOLD~ to S.N. $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.
