Hi all,
The six pens on this list are fresh from my workbench, they have all
have been restored inside and out and are ready to fill with ink and
use.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please reply to me at:

If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
4. 1944 Parker Vacumatic Junior in blue. The nib is a .7 millimeter
that I had Greg Minuskin retip for me. Part of the tip was missing, so
I had Greg give it new life. By old Parker specifications this would
be about the middle of the range for medium nibs. It is a nice smooth
wet writing Medium Stub arrow nib. See writing sample. The barrel has
about average ambering, as you can see in the photo of the pen with
the cap off. The clip has a bit of typical brassing on one side of the
feather at the top. Capped the pen measures 5 inches or 12.7 cm. When
I was at the workbench working on this pen, what jumped out at me was
the intense brilliant blue color. My photos do not do this pen
justice. Ambering noted, the overall condition of the pen is
Excellent.
Price $235.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5, 1937 Parker Challenger in black with silver pearl chunks. This is
the larger of the two sizes of Challengers, with the raised center on
the clip. The only thing I think could be considered as flaws, is a
very tiny bit of brassing starting on the top cap ring, but you likely
would not notice it, if I had not disclosed it! The top two lines of
the barrel imprint are deep, but the bottom line appears to have been
imprinted lightly. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine 14K with a
bit of flex. These are typical Parker button fillers, with real honest
to god ink sacs. Capped the pen measures 5 inches or 12.6 cm.
Price $145.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. 1950's Parker 51 Aerometic full size fountain pen in Cocoa with
Lustraloy cap. The only damage I could find on the pen is a very small
scuff mark on one side of the center of the cap. The cap retains a
nice matte finish. The nib is a smooth writing fat Fine 14K the
borders on medium. The cover tube over the ink sac is the full length
brushed stainless steel version. This is a pen from my personal
collection, as I am trying to makes some room for other pens in my pen
chest. I think this is about the fifth Cocoa 51 Aero I have sold in
the last year or so. It is a very popular color for them and I just
happened across them in this color. The overall condition of the pen
is Excellent.
Price $165.00 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!
