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.

1. ~SOLD~ to M.K. pending

1948 Parker 51 in India Black, with a gold filled Heritage cap with
solid 14K tassi ring and clip. This is a Vacumatic fill 51 and the
last year the Vac fill 51's were made in the U.S.A. The only things I
noticed that might be considered as flaws are some wear on the
feathers of the clip at the bend, mostly on the right side. That was
probably caused by someone carrying it in shirts with pocket flaps.
The cap has no dings, but it does have a couple of small scratches,
maybe 1.5 mm and one small bump mark that you probably would have a
hard time finding. The cap has some micro scratches. I think there
were only three different Heritage caps, all have 14K trim, sterling,
windowpane and the nine line pattern. They all have the Art Deco arrow
design band stamped near the cap lip. The nib is a smooth writing wet
Extra Fine 14K. The 51's with solid 14K trim are somewhat uncommon and
a bit hard to find.

~SOLD~ to M.K. pending $375.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. ~SOLD~ to E.D.

1937 to '45 Sheaffer's Balance pen in black. This is a short,
stubby model pen, sometimes referred to as a "vest pocket" model. The
barrel imprint seems a bit light on the right hand side. There is no
brassing on the clip, cap band or lever. There is what appears to be a
speck of white plastic imbedded in the barrel just ahead of the lever
slot, which I find interesting, usually it is specks of steel that I
see imbedded in the plastic. It is the diameter of a full standard
size model, but capped measures 4 3/4 inches or 12 centimeters. The
nib is an Extra Fine two tone 14K "Lifetime". Overall the condition is
Excellent.

~SOLD~ to E.D. $135.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see
"Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. 1940's Eversharp "Fifth Avenue" in dark green with
solid 14K gold cap and trim. This is a full standard size pen and it
is a lever fill. The cap is smooth and has about 4 very shallow and
hard to see dents.It fills and writes well. These caps slip on, like a
Parker 51, which they were designed to compete with. The dark
Forest Green were one of the two harder to find colors of this pen.
From my understanding, this was not a cataloged color. The nib
appears to be a Medium and is 14K.Capped the pen measures 5 1/8
inches or 13 cm.

Price reduced to $225.00 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. 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!
