4. ~SOLD~ to E.D.

c. 1933 Parker Streamline Duofold Jr. in sea green pearl with black
veining. This one was made in Canada. The barrel has some typical
discoloration. It has the name S.C. Courtney imprinted on the barrel.
The ball of the clip has some brassing. I marked the writing sample as
an extra fine, but I think it is actually a Fine 14K. It is a smooth,
wet writer with some flex. It is a duplicate in my collection, so I
decided to sell it. It is a button fill. Capped the pen measures 4
11/16 inches or 11.9 cm.

~SOLD~ to E.D. $145.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. ~SOLD~ to E.D.

1950's Sheaffer's Snorkel in blue with stainless steel and gold
filled cap. I am not sure of the exact model name of this pen. The pen
has a gold colored snorkel tube, so I assume it was made in the
earlier years of production. I replaced the point gasket in the
section and the o-ring in the barrel, and of course the ink sac. The
cap has a typical small flattened spot, kind of off to one side, also
there are a few hard to see nibble marks in the milling on the blind
cap. The nib is, I think, a PdAg, Triumph (silver colored). It is a
smooth writing Extra Fine. I was trying to polish some light scratches
on the nib and, like an idiot, polished through the sliver colored
plating in a couple of spots, but they are kind of hard to see. Hind
sight! I will know better to leave well enough alone next time. The
barrel imprint is deep-ish with raised edges. It comes with the
original display box. Capped the pen measures 5 1/2 inches or 13.9 cm,
I think they all measure about the same...

~SOLD~ to E.D. $115.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

6. ~SOLD~ to J.H.

1941 Parker Duofold fountain pen in red and silver pearl. This is
the small slender size model. It is a button fill. The cap band is
kind of unusual, having grooves around the middle and it is quite wide
at nearly 6 mm. Some might erroneously call it a jeweler's band, which
to me, is a total misnomer. I don't remember seeing any brassing on
the trim. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine 14K. Capped the pen
measures 4 3/4 inches or 12 cm. The barrel imprint is deep.

~SOLD~ to J.H. $135.00 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. 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!
