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.
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. 1948 Parker "51" in plum with nicely refinished Lustraloy
cap.This one is an Aerometric fill in the demi size. The cap is free
of dings, scratches, etc. I took a photo of the pen with the barrel
off, so you can see the very clear ink sac and the aluminum cover
tube. The demi 51's are about 3/8 of an inch shorter than the full
length model capped. I nearly completely disassembled the pen and
checked the breather tube to make sure it was not clogged or partially
clogged, and cleaned the internal parts. It is humming along nicely!
It fills well and flows a nice dark line. The nib is a Fine 14K.
Price $250.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. ~SOLD~ to A.M.
c. 1935 Waterman's #3 Christmas pen in green pearl with red specks.
There is some wear and little scratches on the silver colored trim.
This is a full length slender pen. Capped the pen measures 5 1/16
inches or 12.9 cm. The nib is a very flexible and smooth writing Extra
- Extra Fine in 14K. It will write a line from XX-Fine to about a
double Broad with moderate pressure. The nib is one of the most
flexible I have offered for sale in quite awhile. The Waterman's
Christmas pens were marketed before Christmastime in several different
models, over the years.
~SOLD~ to A.M. $150.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. c. 1938 Sheaffer's WASP set in golden brown with black vertical
stripes. The pearl pattern in the pen and pencil are sometimes
referred to as circuit board. It is kind of a checkered pattern. The
clip on the pen has some thin lines of brassing on the high edges.
There is a bit of pitting in the gold on the lever. The faceted ends
on the pen and pencil have typical brassing. The ends were very thinly
plated. The pencil works very well and is smooth when you turn the top
to advance the lead. Capped the pen measures 4 7/16 inches or 11.4 cm.
The imprints on both the pen and pencil are deep. The nib is a smooth
soft writing fine 14K, with some line variation. I know I mentioned
this above, this is a lever fill pen.
Price $120.00 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!
