Hi all,
These pens have all been recently restored and are ready to fill with
ink and use.
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.
Pen #1. c. 1945 Sheaffer's Triumph Crest set in golden brown stripe with
gold filled caps. The pen is a rod plunger fill. The white dot is on
the end of the blind cap. The filling system was restored by Gerry
Berg and fills well. The pencil is working well and has extra leads.
Both pen and pencil are engraved with the initials J.J.L. on the
bottom back edge of the caps. The pen barrel is imprinted 1500, i.e.
it originally sold for $15.00. Capped the pen measures 4 7/8 inches or
12.5 cm. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine two tone 14K Triumph.
The pen cap has no dents or brassing. The pencil cap has a couple
of typical flattened spots on top and also has about an 8 mm shallow
dent on the back side and two or three very small shallow bump marks.
Overall it is a nice looking set. The barrel clarity in the clear
stripes of the pen are much better than average, only very light
discoloration. Oh, I misspelled Crest in the writing sample. I have a
friend with the last name Chrest, and I guess my brain was on
auto-pilot when I was doing the writing sample...
Price reduced to $165.00 shipping with insurance included in the U.S.

2. c. 1930 Parker Duofold Sr. Streamline set in Moderne Black and Pearl.
The barrel of the pen has some ambering. The color in the cap is
very nice. The pen has a few little nicks and scratches, but a fairly
nice overall shine. Also, there is brassing across the ball of the clip.
I replaced the ink sac with a silicone sac, in hopes of preventing the
barrel from discoloring further. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine
14K Duofold. The pencil has great, near mint color. There are
some small scratches in a tiny area on the top cap band, on one side.
It has typical brassing across the ball of the clip. It has one small ding
on the top edge of the cone/nozzle. The pencil functions as it should.
Price reduced to $350.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

3. c. 1947 Sheaffer's Triumph pen and pencil set in black with brushed
stainless steel caps and gold filled trim. The white dot on this pen
is on the blind cap. The caps on both the pen and pencil are very nice
with no brassing and no dents. They only have a very few micro
scratches. The barrel imprints are crisp with raised sharp edges. The
pencil is working nicely and has extra leads. This is a plunger fill
pen and the internal plunger and packing was restored by Gerry Berg.
The pen fills well. The nib is a smooth writing Fine two tone 14K
Triumph. The overall condition of the set is Excellent plus.

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!
