Hi all,

Five of the pens on this list are fresh from my workbench, with one
rerun.

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:

4. 1949 Sheaffer's Touchdown in black with stainless steel cap and
gold filled trim. This one is the larger diameter model that predates
the Thin Model (TM) Touchdown. I think these were only made in 1949.
The gold filled trim has no brassing. There is a very slight
flattened part on the very top of the cap, and a nick, both are hard
to see with the naked eye. The pen has a name imprinted on the barrel,
see photo. The nib is a large Triumph. It is a smooth writing Extra
Fine two tone 14K. Capped the pen measures 5 1/4 inches or 13.3 cm.
The barrel imprint is deep with raised edges.

Price $145.00 shipping with insurance included in the U.S. Foreign
shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. ~SOLD~ to W.S.

1944 Parker Vacumatic Major in blue pearl. The only brassing I
found is on the edges of the tip of the clip. The barrel has about
average moderate ambering. The nib is a smooth writing Fine 14K arrow.
The barrel imprint is deep. Capped the pen measures 5 inches or 12.7
cm.

~SOLD~ to W.S. $155.00 shipping with insurance included in the U.S. Foreign

6. 1947 Parker 51 clear demonstrator fountain pen with gold
filled cap. The date mark on the pen has three dots around the number
7, indicating that it was produced during the first quarter of '47 and
it would have been the last year of production for this Vacumatic
version. The barrel is not marked demonstrator, which is not uncommon,
in my experience. The pen is all original and does not have any
reproduced parts. The barrel is very clean, because I did as thorough
a job as I could removing the old ink before I replaced the diaphragm.
The clip and cap have no brassing and the clip has the original blue
paint in the diamond. The cap has no dents, etc. There are no fissures
in the plastic. I did not do a writing sample with the pen for obvious
reasons. In my photos, the pen picked up some of the color from the
printed background paper, it is actually clear white. The nib is an extra
fine. In the photos the pen looks a bit amber colored, which was
causedby the pen picking up color from the background paper I used.
It is actually clear/white transparent. The overall the condition is
Excellent.

Price $395.00 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!
