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.
#1. ~SOLD~ to D.N.
1943 Parker Vacumatic Major in Emerald Green, with factory
Broad Stub nib. The clip has some brassing on the feathers at the top
and some thin lines of brassing on the clip ring. There is also a name
imprinted on the barrel, Burt M. Evans. The color in this pen is
especially dark vibrant green, it's quite beautiful. Factory stub nibs
are very hard to find in 40's Vacs. This one is very smooth and writes
a wet dark line and it has nice thick-thin line variation. The pen
capped measures 5 1/16 inches or 12.8 cm.
~SOLD~ to D.N. $250.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1940's Eversharp Skyline pen with scarce engine turned gold filled
cap in the "Dart" pattern (double chevrons) in chocolate brown. This
is the short model pen. The Skyline caps with this pattern are quite
hard to find, in my experience, they are much harder to find than
solid 14 Karat gold caps. If I did not already have an example, I
would have put this pen in my own collection. There is no damage of
any kind to report and the engine turning on the cap is crisp and
sharp. Capped the pen measures 4 13/16 inches. The nib appears to be
about a Medium with a small amount of flexibility when pressure is
applied. It writes a nice wet, dark line. The overall condition is
Excellent.
Price $185.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. circa 1930 Mabie Todd Swallow flat top fountain pen in cream and
black. There is some typical brassing across the ball on the clip and
the fill lever has a little bit of pitting, but is much, much better
than average. The barrel has some mild discoloration. This pen was
made in England. The nib is a Flexible Extra Fine, that takes moderate
pressure to spread the tines. It has a tendency to make railroad
tracks, if you apply too much pressure. The nib is marked marked M.T.
& Co. - 14 Ct. This is a long slender pen, capped it measures 5 3/16
inches or 13.1 cm.
Price $135.00 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!
