etcetera" at the bottom of this post.

Pen #1. ~SOLD~ to B.B.

1940's Sheaffer's Triumph Sentinal Deluxe in green stripe with
stainless steel cap and gold filled trim. This is a full size pen. The cap
has a very tiny bump mark on the back side and has typical some
typical light scratches and micro scratches, from everyday use. This
is a wire/rod plunger fill pen. I had the fill system restored by Sherrell
Tyree and it fills and writes very well. The barrel imprint is nice and
deep. The nib is a very smooth writing Fine two tone 14K Triumph.
Capped the pen measures 5 1/8 inches or 13 centimeters.

~SOLD~ to B.B. $155.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1929 Sheaffer's oversize pen, generally referred to by pen
collectors as a Half Balance. This one is black and white pearl. These
were made when W.A. Sheaffer's Co. was making a transition between the
flat top pens and the full Balance pens. As I recall both versions
half and full Balance pens were made in 1929. The clip on the pen has
some brassing on the top, the hump and ball. There is also a thin line
of brassing on the bottom edge of the cap band, about 4 mm long. The
cap has pretty nice color in the plastic, but the barrel has moderate
even typical ambering. The nib is a smooth Extra Fine 14K. Capped the
pen measures 5 5/16 inches or 13.5 cm. Because of the brassing and
darker barrel I am pricing this one at what I would consider a more
reasonable price.

Price $235.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. c. 1938 Sheaffer's WASP set in golden brown with black vertical
stripes. The pearl pattern in the pen and pencil are sometimes
referred to as circuit board. It is kind of a checkered pattern. The
clip on the pen has some thin lines of brassing on the high edges.
There is a bit of pitting in the gold on the lever. The faceted ends
on the pen and pencil have typical brassing. The ends were very thinly
plated. The pencil works very well and is smooth when you turn the top
to advance the lead. Capped the pen measures 4 7/16 inches or 11.4 cm.
The imprints on both the pen and pencil are deep. The nib is a smooth
soft writing fine 14K, with some line variation. I know I mentioned
this above, this is a lever fill pen.

Price $120.00 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!
