I am listing several pens for sale. Please read the descriptions because some are NOS and some need work. Prices include Priority shipping to the US and are negotiable. I am open to offers but no trades.

1: Aurora 88 vintage, semi-flex nib. There is some brassing on the cap, and the section is worn. Sometimes the section ring leaks, but not always. The piston works well and turns smoothly. $100

2: Sheaffer Legacy Sterling, BB stub nib. This is the best factory stub I've ever used. It makes a nice crisp line but is smooth across the paper. This is the touchdown model that fills with a cartridge or the plunger filler. I bought it NOS in July of this summer, and it comes with the box and all original paperwork. List price is $450. I am selling for $300.

3: Wahl Eversharp Doric, 2nd generation, adjustable #7 wet noodle nib. It hurts me to let this one go, but I don't use it as much as I should. This is the plunger filling model, not the lever filler. The filling system needs servicing, so I unscrew the section and fill as an eye dropper. In top condition, this pen sells for $450, but I am pricing it at $300.

4: Parker 51 Minuskin retip, 1.4mm nib. Sterling silver cap, Dove Gray body with slight discoloration near section. You have to look closely to see it. Vacumatic filler. $145

5: Signet brand ringtop set, flexible nib, lever filler. There are a couple of small dents in the body of the pen, but it works beautifully. The pencil is in working condition. The set comes in the original box. $135

6: Sager "Barrel of Ink" pen, fine/medium nib. It doesn't say gold, so I assume it is steel, but it has a little spring in it. This filling system needs servicing, so I unscrew the section to fill as an eye dropper. $50

7: Wahl "Frankenpen" Orange and black hard rubber body with Art Deco style chasing. The nib is fully flexible but has been damaged. It is not sprung but is badly out of alignment. Unfortunately, someone with a heavy hand got ahold of it (It wasn't me!) This is a great chance for someone wanting to try his or her hand at nib work. $25 or free with another pen.

The Sheaffer is sold.

Here is what's left:

The Signet Ringtop fp and pencil set. Signet pens were made for Rexall drug stores in the 1920s. This pen set is very clean. The pencil is in working condition, and the fp is a nice writer. It comes with the sautoire to wear it around your neck as ringtops used to be worn similar to a lanyard today. The sautoire was purchased from Richard Binder about a year ago and is made of modern materials but using vintage specifications. I've worn the pen as a user at school while teaching several times.

The Parker 51 is now sold as the pen body and cap only. The nib has been sold separately. If you have an extra 51 nib and have been looking for a Dove Gray body with a sterling cap, make me an offer. :)
