Hi all,
The pens and pencils fresh off from my workbench.
These pens 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:

If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
4. 1929 Sheaffer's oversize pen, generally referred to by pen
collectors as a Half Balance. This one is black and white pearl. These
were made when W.A. Sheaffer's Co. was making a transition between the
flat top pens and the full Balance pens. As I recall both versions
half and full Balance pens were made in 1929. The clip on the pen has
some brassing on the top, the hump and ball. There is also a thin line
of brassing on the bottom edge of the cap band, about 4 mm long. The
cap has pretty nice color in the plastic, but the barrel has moderate
even ambering. The nib is a smooth Extra Fine 14K. Capped the pen
measures 5 5/16 inches or 13.5 cm. Because of the brassing and
darker barrel I am pricing this one at what I would consider a more
reasonable price.
Price $235.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. ~SOLD~ pend. pmt.
circa 1926 Conklin "Endura" standard size flat top in sapphire blue
(lapis blue). These were made in three sizes and this one is the
midsize pen. The clip has some brassing on both ends and the cap band
has quite a bit of brassing on the lower half. The lever also has
brassing on the lower end and edges. There is some mild even
discoloration on the barrel and some on the cap. It's still a pretty
good looking old pen and has a smooth semi-flexible Extra Fine 14K
nib. Capped the pen measures 4 13/16 inches or 12.1 cm. I have
priced the pen according to condition.
~SOLD~ pend. pmt. $145.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

6. 1950's Parker 51 standard size set in Cocoa with Lustraloy caps.
The original box is included. The pen appears not to have had a lot of
use, as the ink sac is very transparent white. The pen cap only has
some micro scratches and frosty appearance.The nib is a very
smooth writing Fine 14K and lays down a nice line. The pencil cap is
not as nice and seems to have been used more and has more
scratches and less frosty appearance. The pencil is cap actuated
(you press on the top of the cap to propel the lead).
The pencil works well.
Price $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

~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

not be responsible for any other problems.
Happy penning!
