I'm cross-posting from r/Pen_Swap and have listed some of these here before. Sitll, I'm ready to move on them, so make me an offer I can't refuse if you're interested

I have a whole pile of Duofolds and Vacumatics I'm trying to move. I have these listed on R/PenSwap also so I'm going to copy the information over here.

All prices include US shipping. International, feel free to talk to me.

A. Red(Permanite) original "Big Red" Duofold, probably late 20s production(two band), near the end of flat top pens. Slightly flexible fine 14K nib, intact Lucky Curve feed and has been fitted with a properly sized necked sac as original. Blind cap and cap top are browned(oxidized) and seem to have some bite marks.

Still, though, this is it, the real Big Red

$275

B. Red(Permanite) Duofold Junior. About the same age as the above. Really nice overall condition, stiff 14K nib, button is a bit rattly but fills and works correctly

$100

C. Modern "Big Red" Duofold Centennial, probably ~5 years old. Nice smooth 18K medium "Ace" nib, gold furniture, gold Ace crown on cap

SOLD

D. Azure Blue Vacumatic Major, Canadian 1949 production. Barrel shows ambering on one side, good clarity on the other. Non-arrow 14K EF nib with a subtle architect grind. Moderately strong imprint.

$160

E. Black Vacumatic Major, mid-1940s I would guess but imprint is missing. Excellent clarity with only a hint of darkening, and overall just a nice pen. Arrow 14K nib in the F-EF range, nice and wet writer. Blue diamond clip

$150

F. Black Vacumatic Junior. Really crisp and clear imprint, 1942. Barrel shows some clarity-you can see the ink level without much trouble, but it's quite amber. Nice writing 14K EF arrow nib.

$125

LOT SALE:

All three Vacs $400

Both remaining Duofolds $350

Everything Remaining $725

Feel free to make me an offer, especially on multiple items, and I'm happy to quote international shipping.

Let me see if I can find something better than this.

At this point, USPS is only allowing me to estimate for Priority Mail Flat Rate, which is $70(ouch).

Let me play around, as first class mail international package I'd expect to be $30 or so based on past shipments to that general area of the world.

For what? All of them? Afraid that's probably way too low.

Black Major and blue Major sold.

Anyone want a fully functional black Vac Junior for $75? You'll pay almost half that to have even the least expensive repairman replace the diaphragm on one, and this one has a brand new diaphragm.

Black major is gone? What a pity. Good for you though.
