Hi all,
These pens all have been restored inside and out and are ready to fill
with ink and use, except the Waterman's Ripple pencil, it takes lead...
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. circa 1923 Parker Duofold Senior fountain pen in red hard
rubber. This one has a medium size Duofold barrel imprint. The imprint
is very worn. It has about a 4 millimeter scratch above the cap band
on the back side. There are a few little light scratches here and
there, but overall the pen is in fairly nice condition for its age.
The only brassing on the trim is on across the ball of the clip. The
milling on the cap end and blind cap is deep and not heavily worn. I
did a light hand polish on the pen with Novus 2 and it looks great.
Note - do not use Novus #1 or #3 on hard rubber pens, those two
polishes will discolor the hard rubber. The nib is smooth writing and
about a fat Fine or narrow Medium. It has a little bit of flex, but
not much. Capped the pen measures 5 1/2 inches or 14 cm.
Price $365.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. circa 1937 Eversharp fountain pen in pastel green and gold web
pearl. I think this pen has about the most beautiful plastic I have
ever seen in a Wahl-Eversharp pen. The pen appeared not to have had
much use before I started working on it. The original nib had one half
of the tip missing, so the nib might have gotten broken soon after it
was purchased. That is my hypothesis anyway. I replaced the nib with a
14K Wahl-Oxford nib, because that was the only Wahl I had that was the
right size. There is no damage on the pen to report. The trim is clean
and not brassed and the barrel imprint is crisp and sharp. There is
kind of a dark dead spot in the plastic, ahead of the lever, but it
was just how the reflective web chunks were situated when the pen was
made and not discoloration. The nib is a smooth writing Flexible Fine
and about 1.25 mm line can be achieved when pressure is applied. The
nib is small, somewhat smaller than what I would consider a standard
#2 size nib to be. Capped the pen measures 5 1/8 inches or 13 cm. The
overall condition of the pen is Excellent.
Price $125.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

3. ~SOLD~ to E.D.
circa 1948 Sheaffer's Touchdown set in burgundy/maroon with gold
filled caps. I think this version was called a Crest Delulxe. Both the
pen and pencil were dropped on their heads, the end of the pen cap has
a flattened spot just above the white dot and one higher on the side
of the top. The pencil has a dimple on the very top of the cap. Also
the pen has been engraved L to B 10-29-'50. The caps have no scratches
and did not appear to have had much use. The mechanical pencil is a
twist propel/repel type, is working, has extra leads and the eraser
seems to be useable. The nib is smooth writing and very fine. I think
the tip is about an Accountant-XX-Fine. The nib is a two tone Triumph.
Capped the pen measures 5 1/8 inches or 13.2 cm. This is the fatter
Touchdown model that preceded the TM thin model Touchdowns. It comes
with the correct Sheaffer's clam shell box. The box top is floppy,
because the spring over the hinge is broken.
~SOLD~ to E.D. $145.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

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!
