The Vac-uum Cleaner Strikes Again.
This collection found its way to Paul Erano and me this week. The key pen is an oversized Chilton. A bunch of decent basic pens: 51s, 75s, 180s, HR Conklins (many with issues). Vacuuming up collections is a fun. Still trying to figure out if a few of those metal Pilots in row D are Murexes (Mureces?).
Figured I'd share the find. I might be a Vacumaniac, but I enjoy vacuuming up even collections that essentially lack Vacs
regards

Re: The Vac-uum Cleaner Strikes Again.
what fun! enjoy those David. And Paul.
Re: The Vac-uum Cleaner Strikes Again.
Some of the Conklins have issues, but there are a fair number of solid pens too. A few from this lot we'll keep, but most indeed are just "rentals".Originally Posted by ainterne

Re: The Vac-uum Cleaner Strikes Again.
I see a gold Targa on the top row that I like the looks of. Is it a thin barrel one or is it the larger wider barrel? I just love Targa's.

Hi,
Believe it's a full-size Targa. It's at home. I'm not. But, I have dozens of Targas on the website and dozens more in the pipeline. I have a few in my collection and am sitting on a selection of prototypes obtained from a Sheaffer employee, but when those go they already are promised to a friend and serious Targa collector.

Re: The Vac-uum Cleaner Strikes Again.
BTW that Targa would not be very expensive.

Re: The Vac-uum Cleaner Strikes Again.
Feel free to PM me a website for me to go check out pens like this that may be up for adoption.

Hi Mags,
My sales website is in my Signature, top line. Paul and I can part with many from this group in reasonable fashion. I had request already on the Murex pens and on some of the Conklin HR's. We can talk about others. Drop me an email around Jan 18.
