4. ~SOLD~ to J.H.

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.

~SOLD~ to J.H. $125.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. circa 1928 Parker Duofold Senior in Lapis blue. The pen has a nice
smooth writing factory Broad Stub nib. The Parker stub nibs are quite
scarce in these early pens. The barrel is a bit darker than the cap
and the cap also has some faint discoloration. The discoloring is not
as dark as it appears in the photos. The barrel imprint is a bit
light, but all legible. I installed a silicone ink sac in the pen.
There is no brassing on the clip or cap bands.The broad stub nib lays
down a nice wet line. I would say this is a decent example of a lapis
Duofold Sr., with much better than average color and a truly
exceptional nib.

Price reduced further to $895.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. circa 1926 Wahl #76 oversize fountain pen, black hard rubber in
the Dart pattern. I sold one of these not long ago. The chasing on
this one is nice and there is no brassing on the gold filled trim. It
does have light discoloration. I hand polished the hard rubber, but
left the gold filled trim as I found it, except for an area on the cap
band, next to the clip, that had some specks of something stuck to it.
The only damage I found are some small marks on the nib side of the
section. the nib is a smooth firm Extra Fine 14K Signature. Capped the
pen measures 5 7/16 inches or 13.9 cm.

Price reduced to $295.00 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!
