Hi all,
These pens all have been 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.
Pen #1. c. 1925 Ink-O-Graph oversize flat top stylograph in red
mottled hard rubber. The pen is very similar in size, length and
diameter, to 1920's oversize Sheaffer or O/S Wahl-Eversharp flat top
pens. The cap band has a bit of brassing here and there, as you can
see in one of the photos. The color of the hard rubber is very good
and the barrel imprint is deep and indicates it was made when the
patent was applied for. Capped the pen measures 5 1/4 inches or 13.5
cm and the cap diameter is 5/8 inch or 16 mm. This pen has a nice
smooth writing Extra Fine tip, and has a nice even ink flow. It has a
typical lever fill system.
Price $265.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1948 Parker 51 full size pen in Cedar blue with a squiggly line
pattern gold filled cap. These caps are sort of an atypical version,
not seen as often as many other gold filled 51 caps. The cap has a
couple of very hard to see bump marks on one side and a small shallow
nick next to the clip on the top edge. The nib is a smooth writing fat
Fine or narrow Medium. It fills well and lays down a nice wet line. I
have included a close-up photo of the cap for those who are not
familiar with this particular engine turning pattern.
Price $185.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. pre-1922 Sheaffer's with smooth gold filled overlay. The overlay
has some brassing on the edge of the barrel end and a big dent in the
barrel end and a couple of bite marks on the barrel end. There is some
unevenness on the overlay around the lever and a couple of shallow
dents in the cap. The nib section and feed were retro fitted with later
parts from the 1930's. That is how it was when I purchased the pen.
The nib is a smooth writing semi-flexible Fine Sheaffer's No. 3 in 14K.
The clip is stamped Sheaffer-Clip, which dates it to 1921 or earlier.
Capped the pen measures 5 3/8 inches or 13.6 cm.
Price $175.00 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!
