If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, Shipping, Etc." at the bottom of this post.
#1. circa 1918 Sheaffer's fountain pen in black chased hard rubber. This is a slender #3 size pen. The only damage I can see is there is some wear on the chasing and barrel imprint. It also has typical brassing across the clip ball. It has a very tiny indentation on the lever, that appears to be a manufacturing irregularity. The hard rubber has slight discoloration. I did not attempt to polish the pen, other than the nib. The nib is a smooth Flexible Extra Fine 14K #3 "Self-Filling". It has good ink flow. Capped the pen measures 5 1/4 inches or 13.5 cm.
Price $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. 1929 Sheaffer's Transitional fountain pen (aka half balance) short model in jade green. The clip has brassing at the top, a bit on the hump and across the ball. There is also brassing around the cap band, mostly along the bottom edge. The cap and barrel have discoloration. I did not polish this pen, other than the nib, so it has signs of use. That said, these are not easy pens to find, as they were only made for about a year or less, I believe. This one has a very smooth writing Fine 14K Lifetime nib. Capped the pen measures 4 5/8 inches or 11.9 cm.
Price $155.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. circa 1958 Parker "61" fountain pen in black with Silver and Gold Rainbow cap. There was a streak of polishing compound on both sides of the clip, on the arrow shaft, which I removed. There are no dents or bump marks on the cap and no damage, that I could find, to report. The pen has perfect Teflon coating on the capillary filler unit. Capped the pen measures 5 1/2 inches or 13.9 cm. The nib is smooth writing Extra Fine 14K.

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. I also ship to other countries by Priority
Mail. I can also ship to other countries 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!
