If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
4. c. 1930 Conklin "Symetrik" Endura in black and bronze. This is a
full standard size pen with a large 14K gold nib. There is no brassing
on the gold filled trim and the barrel imprint is sharp and deep. The
nib is a very smooth writing rigid Extra Fine 14K. This is a lever
fill pen. Capped the pen measures 5 1/4 inches. This may be the nicest
example of a Conklin Symetrik that I have ever had.
Price reduced to $245.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. circa 1938 Montblanc model 333 1/2 in silver pearl and black. I
have been told that this model is scarce, even in Europe. The 333 1/2
was made in
Hungary and predate some of the more commonly seen wartime Montblanc
pens. The nib is correct and marked 3 1/2, Mont, Blanc, 14, C. The nib
is a smooth writing semi-flexible 14K (Ct.) Moderate pressure will
spread the tines from extra fine to about a 1.5 mm broad line. The
plastic has some discoloration. The clip and cap bands are brassed and
it appears they were lightly gold plated. The cap is imprinted Mont
Blanc with the mountain logo between Mont and Blanc. The cap end has
some wear on the imprinted star/snow cap logo and a small nick on the
edge of the cap end, just above the clip. It is a typical MB
twist/piston filler. I had the plunger gasket restored by my friend
Joel Hamilton aka Inkpen. I found the 333 1/2 imprint on the blind
cap, but it is light and hard to see. Capped the pen measures 4 15/16
inches or 12.5 cm. It is what I would consider a standard size 1930's
vintage fountain pen.
Price $575.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. 1940's Eversharp "Fifth Avenue" in dark green with
solid 14K gold cap and trim. This is a full standard size pen and it
is a lever fill. The cap is smooth and has about 4 very shallow and
hard to see dents.
It fills and writes well. These caps slip on, like a Parker 51, which
they were designed to compete with. The dark Forest Green were one of
the two harder to find colors of this pen. From my understanding, this
was not a cataloged color. The nib appears to be a Medium and is 14K.
Capped the pen measures 5 1/8 inches or 13 cm.
Price reduced to $225.00 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!
