Hi all
These pens all have been restored inside and out 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.
1.1946 Parker Vacumatic Maxima in Emerald Green. This is a harder to
find single jewel model. The only damage I found on the pen is a bit
of brassing along the very bottom edge of the cap band. The barrel segments
have exceptional clarity and is better than the close-up photo of the
barrel. I did not find any brassing on the clip and it has the
original blue paint in the diamond. The nib is a very smooth writing
Flexible Extra Fine bordering on Fine. See writing sample.
Flexible nibs in any Vacumatic are scarce, but to have one in an
oversize Vac Maxima is a rare find indeed! I would not call the nib a
wet noodle, but it is fairly close.
Price reduced to $650.00 shipping with insurance included in the U.S.
Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. ~SOLD~ to J.H.
1942 Parker Duofold (Duo Vac) in blue and silver pearl. This is the
small slender size model with thin-thick-thin cap bands. There is
brassing around the top edge of the clip ring and some on the bottom
cap band. The barrel imprint has a lot of wear. This a Vacumatic fill
pen with an aluminum Speedline fill plunger. The nib is a smooth Fine
2 tone 14K Victory. The nib is plated white with a gold "V", see
photo. Capped the pen measures 4 3/4 inches or 12 cm.
~SOLD~ to J.H. Price $135.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. Parker 75 fountain pen and roller ball set in sterling Cisele
pattern. Both pens were made in the U.S.A. Both have dished/indented
ends. The silver colored disc is missing from the top of the roller
ball. The only damage I found is on the roller ball pen, there are a
couple of slight bumps, pushed outward, towards the barrel end.
The cartridge in the roller ball will need to be replaced. The fountain
pen is a cartridge/converter fill and has a converter in it. The nib is a
smooth Fine 14K and writes a nice dark wet line. Both pens show some
signs of use on the gold plated ends, tiny bump marks. I did not find
any plating loss on either pen.
Price for the set $250.00 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!
