etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
Pen #1. c. 1932 Sheaffer's 5-30 non-White Dot Balance combination
fountain pen/pencil in black and white pearl. The barrel has been
personalized with the name Fred Stout Jr. The clip has typical
brassing across the ball and there are some streaks of brassing and
pitting on the cone of the pencil. Also, the pen and pencil portion
has moderate ambering. The pencil is working properly. The nib is a
smooth writing Extra Fine 14K 5-30. Capped the combo measures 6 inches
or 15.4 centimeters.
Price reduced to $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. c. 1931 Parker Duofold Junior set in black and burgundy pearl. The
mechanical pencil has the initials J.M.K. imprinted next to the clip,
the pen has not been personalized. They may not have been a set
originally, but I bought them together and they are a correct match.
The cone of the pencil has several small dings and marks. The pen's
clip has typical brassing across the ball and there is a small bump
mark on the lower cap band. The pencil is working as it should. The
nib in the pen is a smooth writing Fine 14K that borders on medium.
This is a button fill pen. Capped the pen measures 4 3/4 inches or 12
centimeters. This is a very nice looking set!
Price $165.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

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 reduced further to $195.00 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, which is $24.75 to most countries,
except Canada, which is less. I can also ship to other countries by
by Express International Mail, if you request it, but it is costly.
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!
