If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.

Pen #1. ~SOLD~ to L.P.

c. 1933 Parker Duofold Senior Streamline pen and pencil set in
burgundy pearl and black. The clip ball has some typical brassing
across the top. The only real damage I found, on either the pen or
pencil, is about a 6 mm diagonal cut in the plastic next to the blind
cap, see photo. The imprints on the pen and pencil are deep. The pencil is
imprinted on both the cap and barrel. The pencil is in working
condition and has extra leads. I cut a new eraser for the pencil. The
nib in the pen is a smooth writing Fine 14K arrow, I marked as an
extra fine on the writing sample, but on second glance it writes more
like a fine. With the exception of the cut on the barrel, the set is
in excellent condition. Capped the pen measures 5 1/8 inches or 13
centimeters.

~SOLD~ to L.P. $325.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. ~SOLD~ to J.M.

c.1925 Wahl #76 oversize fountain pen in BCHR "Dart" pattern.
The chasing is nice and crisp on this pen. It has some very slight
discoloration, which you can see best in the photo of the pen with the
cap off. I elected not to polish the trim on this pen, but I did do a
very light hand polish with a liquid polish. The trim is not brassed,
but it does have typical micro scratches from normal use. The nib is a
large very smooth writing Fine #6 Wahl Signature in 14K. It has a huge
#22 size ink sac. Capped the pen measures 5 3/8 inches or 13.7 cm.
With the exception of the noted discoloration the pen is in Excellent
condition. I struggled with myself to prevent putting this pen in my
personal collection. My decision to offer the pen for sale was that I
bought an odd version of a #76 a few months ago, that is the same
diameter, but a bit shorter, with no cap band and nickel clip and
lever.

~SOLD~ to J.M. $395.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

3. 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.

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!
