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.
4. 1934? '44? Parker Raven in black permanite. When I was
doing the writing sample I was thinking this was one of the 1929 pens,
but I remembered that when I was polishing the pen I noticed a number
imprinted on the right end of the barrel imprint, a number 4, which is
either 1934 or '44 and I think the latter. It has a comb feed, too. I
know that they made some streamline pens in both '34 and 1944. I have
seen Duofold Seniors and Jr.'s that were made around that time. This
is the long bandless version. Capped it measures 4 15/16 inches or
12.5 cm. Before I started work on the pen, it appeared that it had not
been used very much. The clip has no brassing and the barrel imprint
is pretty nice.The nib is a smooth Semi-Flexible Fine 14K. I got some
line variation with it, but it takes some pressure to achieve a wider
line. I have always liked the bandless version of the Parker Raven, we
are so used to seeing old pens with bands on the caps that the
appearance of the bandless Raven is quite striking. These are slender
pens, about the diameter of a Lady Duofold, but a lot longer. This is
a button filling pen.
Price $150.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. 1928 Wahl flattop oversize fountain pen in black and white pearl,
with Greek Key cap band. The roller clip, cap bands and lever have no
brassing. There is a bit of discoloration in the barrel around the
lever slot and a bit off to the side and some very slight
discoloration in the lower half of the cap. The cap has some age
cracks, which I was aware of when I bought the pen. I am pricing the
pen considerably lower than I would if they were not present. I
honestly believe they are nothing to worry about, if it were a pen I
planned on keeping, it would not bother me. The nib is a semi-flexible
Extra Fine "Signature" 14K. It takes a bit of pressure to make about a
1 mm wide line. The pen capped measures 5 5/16 inches.
Price reduced to $350.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. Parker 51 in India Black with custom hand hammered gold filled cap.
The style of hammering on the cap is what I call Small Dimples. The
dimples are about the size of a small pinhead, generally about .75 to
.50 mm. This cap has an amber colored jewel on top. The cap and clip
have no brassing. The barrel is a Vacumatic fill with a date code of
T6. The nib is a smooth writing Fine 14K. The nib has nice flow. This
is a recycling project for me, I only hammer a few of these caps per
year. I use caps that are damaged with deep scratches and other
damages that cannot be restored.
Price $295.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.
