Up for sale are some choice items from my collection. Shipping in the United States is included by first class with delivery confirmation. International is extra. All items shipped internationally are sold as is. I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me. For items I have not used, I have not tested them but believe they are in sound condition based on the representations of the vendor I purchased them from. I apologize for the mixed quality of the photos.

Please see my sale with several Rotring items here (http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/2929-Rotrings-this-is-the-actual-sale) and a Recife here (http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/2920-Rotring-Pelikan-Waterman-Taccia-Ero-and-Recife).

1) TACCIA AVANTE This is a piston filler, made from acryllic, with a fine steel nib, maybe a Schmift. Rarer find these days, I bought it a few years ago when I bought modern pens regularly, switched my collecting/acccumulating focus, and now its time for a new owner. I have not filled it, but the piston moves smoothly. $80.

2) CROSS VERVE I used this pen for a while and it was one of the first higher end pens I purchased. It has a broad inlaid nib. I believe the body is a matte aluminum, with a nice feel. This is a hard to find item now. There are small spots in the patina near the section that are hard to see unless you are up close. $80.

3) LABAN DUNHILL LOOK-ALIKE I got this in a lot with two other metal overlay Labans I have previously sold. This one was most masculine looking, and it has nice heft. Fine steel nib, the barrel has threading to allow posting. $25.

4) THREE BEXLEYS:

I have a number of Bexleys, and I am starting to sell them because I have more than I can use. Bexley bases their designs on classic American pen shapes, and the ones here are no exception. Here are three that are no longer in production, from left to right:

BEXLEY AMERICANA This color is called Yellowstone. It is faceted with a design based on the Wahl Eversharp pens. This is a big pen with a broad steel nib. Uninked or used by me. SOLD

BEXLEY BX802 This is a shorter cigar like pen with a fine to medium stainless steel nib. This color is onyx, with black and grey swirled with orange. I used this pen for a while, it is very comfortable and a nice writer. SOLD

BEXLEY ELEGANCIA I bought this pen from Dennis of Parkville Pens before he passed. This is also a silver/grey acrilyc, with a broad nib. The design is based on the streamlined Parker Duofold and other classic flattops from the 20s and 30s. I never used or inked this one. $100 with the box, $95 otherwise.
