Hi all,
All of the pens on this sales list are fresh from my workbench,
restored inside and outside, ink tested and ready to fill with your
ink, if you buy one or more of them.
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. 1904 Henry Williamson Ltd. porte crayon, made in Birmingham,
England. It is hand engraved sterling silver. The hallmarks are an
anchor (for Birmingham), "Lion Passant" (for England), lower case "e"
(for 1904), and H.W. Ld (for Henry Williamson Limited). I forgot to
take a photo of the mark. The pencil is about 3 1/4 inches closed. It
is heavy for its size, it weighed several grams over 1/2 ounce, 19.7
or somewhere in there. The slider ring, to advance and retract the
pencil (crayon) moves easily and smooth. The pencil screws into the
holder. If you buy this piece with intentions of use, I have seen
boxes of the replacement pencils, with the threaded upper end, offered
on eBay. Take a look at the photos! The engraving detail on this piece
is awesome! The engraving seems to be fairly crisp. I can envision it
at the turn of the 20th century, hanging from a gentleman's heavy
sterling watch chain.
Price $225.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1948 Parker 51 in India Black, with a gold filled Heritage cap with
solid 14K tassi ring and clip. This is a Vacumatic fill 51 and the
last year the Vac fill 51's were made in the U.S.A. The only things I
noticed that might be considered as flaws are some wear on the
feathers of the clip at the bend, mostly on the right side. That was
probably caused by someone carrying it in shirts with pocket flaps.
The cap has no dings, but it does have a couple of small scratches,
maybe 1.5 mm and one small bump mark that you probably would have a
hard time finding. The cap has some micro scratches. I think there
were only three different Heritage caps, all have 14K trim, sterling,
windowpane and the nine line pattern. They all have the Art Deco arrow
design band stamped near the cap lip. The nib is a smooth writing wet
Extra Fine 14K. The 51's with solid 14K trim are somewhat uncommon and
a bit hard to find.
Price $395.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. ~SOLD~ to J.C.
1930's or 40's Kaweco Sport in black chased (Art Deco) hard rubber,
with leather pouch. The front top piece of the leather pouch was
broken when I bought it. It does have the Kaweco metal medallion
hanging from the chain on the pouch. The pen has some very light
discoloration on the cap, the barrel is nice and shiny black. The
turning knob is imprinted 112 and under that 07. The piston gasket was
just replaced, by my friend Joel Hamilton aka Inkpen, and is of modern
materials, not cork. The pen pulls ink and works like a champ! The nib
is a very smooth, soft, flexible Fine, that will make a line up to
about 1 or 1.2 mm with moderate pressure. The pen capped measures
about 3 7/8 inches or 10 cm. There is one little 2 mm scratch that I
noticed on the cap, but otherwise the pen is clean and the chasing
looks crisp to me. The nib is really awesome!!
~SOLD~ to J.C. $175.00 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!
