Hi all,
Here are six vintage pens fresh from my workbench. These pens have all
been restored inside and out, have been ink tested and are ready to
fill and use.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please reply to me at:

If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
4. ~SOLD~ to D.N.
Made in the teens, a Conklin #20 Crescent fill in black chased hard
rubber. The barrel of the pen has extremely light discoloration and
the cap has a bit more. There seems to be some wear to the chasing on
the top half of the cap. The clip has a some brassing at the top and
bottom ends and the top edge of the crescent has typical brassing. The
nib is a smooth flexible Extra Fine 14K. It takes light pressure to
get some nice line variation and will write up to about a double broad
width, about 2 mm. Capped the pen measures 5 3/8 inches or 13.8 cm. I
hand polished the pen with Novus 2.
~SOLD~ to D.N. $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. ~SOLD~ to G.T.
pre-1924 Waterman's 52 in black chased hard rubber. The pen has
some light discoloration on the cap and barrel. The chasing has some
wear, but it's not too bad. I hand polished the pen with Novus 2 and
it has a nice shine. The nib is a smooth flexible Extra Fine 14K. With
light pressure you can achieve a very wide line. Capped the pen
measures 5 3/8 inches or 13.7 cm.
~SOLD~ to G.T. $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. Early version Sheaffer's Imperial Touchdown in gold filled. I think
Sheaffer's started making this pen in 1961, but I am not sure how long
it was produced with the Touchdown fill system. This is a very nice
example and has no brassing, dings or major scratches. The nib is a
smooth writing Fine 14K. The pen is vertically lined and the indicia
panel has not been personalized. Capped the pen measures 5 3/8 inches
or 13.7 cm.
Price $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. If 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!
