etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
4. ~SOLD~ to E.D.
Circa 1929 Sheaffer’s standard size Balance pen in black. This
first model of Balance pen is sometimes referred to as the “Long
Balance” model, because of the extra long tapered end of the barrel.
The ball of the clip has some typical brassing and the band has the
initials “G.M.” engraved in block capital letters on the backside. The
pen measures 5 5/8 inches or 14.4 cm. The nib is a very smooth writing
rigid Extra Fine 14K Lifetime. Overall this is a very nice example of
a first model Balance pen. Circa ‘37 Gruen Curvex wristwatch in the
photos is not for sale.
~SOLD~ to E.D. $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see
"Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. c. 1924 Waterman's No. 58 fountain pen in black chased hard
rubber. The pen has some moderate discoloration to the HR. The chasing
on the cap is very deep and distinct, but the barrel imprint and
chasing is worn and light. The nib was repaired by Greg Minuskin. The
nib is a smooth writing Flexible Medium 14K #8. It will make a double
broad line with light pressure. Capped the pen measures 6 inches or
15.2 cm. The cap is 5/8 inch in diameter. This is the next to the
largest pen that Waterman's made. I lightly hand polished the pen with
liquid polish to remove some of the oxidation. I re-shot the photos of
this pen to try and show the amount of discoloration a bit more
accurately.
Price further reduced to $675.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. 1927 or '28 Wahl gold seal full standard size fountain pen in black
and white pearl. The gold filled trim has no brassing. The barrel has
some light ambering, as does the lower half of the cap. There is also
some blue staining on the barrel where the cap covers it and some blue
staining around the area of the cap bands. The nib is a very smooth
writing semi-flexible Extra Fine "Signature" 14K. Capped the pen
measures 5 1/4 inches.

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. f 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!
