Hi all,
Here are five pens fresh from my workbench and one set that is a rerun.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please reply to me at:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
4. early 1940's Esterbrook transitional fountain pen in Fern Green,
largest size. One great thing about these 40's Esterbrooks is the
pocket clips and trim are made of stainless steel and they never
brass, corrode or tarnish. The cap end jewel has three ribs and gives
these pens an Art Deco appearance and match the ribbed pocket clip.
The nib is a smooth writing Medium, number 9668, with a hard iridium
tip. It writes a nice wet dark line. Capped the pen measure 5 inches
or 12.5 cm.
Price $85.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. ~SOLD~ to R.S.
Canadian Parker 51 Aerometric in Cocoa with gold filled cap. This
is the full length model with a full stainless cover over the ink sac.
The ink sac is not perfectly clear white, but has very little ink
staining. The cap ring has some brassing in back on the highest edge
and the top edge of the cap has a thin line of brassing, which I could
not see until I looked at it under magnification. The bottom edge of
the cap has some tiny flakes of gold missing, too. I measured the nib
tip with calipers and it measures as a medium, but sometimes writes
like a wide fine, depending on the paper you are writing on. It is a
smooth nib, somewhere between fine and medium.
~SOLD~ to R.S. $125.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. 1940's Eversharp Skyline Executive oversize pen and pencil set.
These are navy blue with light green and dark blue pinstriped caps.
The only damage I can find on the set are a couple of small bump marks
on the pencil cone. There is no brassing on the trim and no typical
discoloration on the pen cap. The nib tip is kind of unusual, it
measures as a broad, is wider than it is thick and writes something
like a Medium Stub. It has some line variation, but not quite as much
as I personally prefer in a stub nib. The pencil is functioning
properly. I forgot to include the clam shell box in my photos! It is a
nice burgundy velvet covered box. Most longtime pen collectors know
how hard the Skyline Executives are to find. I have not had one in
quite a few years, I talked with another pen dealer/collector friend
this week and he said he had not seen one in several years. Capped
the pen measures 5 5/8 inches or 14.4 cm The overall condition of
the set is Excellent plus.
Price $445.00 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!
