Some pens that I no longer use

**carlc** · June 29th, 2015, 05:38 AM

Now pay day has come around I can afford to post these pens and so I am offering the following 6 pens for any member who wishes to have one. These are all pens that don't see any use in my rotation so it would be nice for them to go to someone who would use them. All pens are fully functional and ready to go.

Rules:
1. Post a comment stating which pen you would like.
2. I will then collate the responses into 6 separate number sequences and select a random number from each sequence. That person gets the pen.
3. I will select the numbers at 12MD (BST) on the 6th July and post the 'winners' in this thread. The winners can then send me their names and address by PM.
4. Pens will be posted (without tracking or insurance) with the appropriate customs declaration as soon as I get chance. The customs declaration will be what I would ask for the pen if I sold it and no more or less.
5. I'll post to anywhere.

The pens:

1. Wearever Pennant (F nib) with 'c flow feed' and overfeed.
2. Wing Sung 590 (F nib)
3. Sheaffer 444 (F nib) with modern Sheaffer converter.
4. Parker 51 aero. Medium nib. I got this pen relatively cheaply on ebay as there is a slight chip to the hood (by the feed) and a split in the cap. To be honest neither affects the performance (in fact I can only find the split by running my thumbnail around the cap).
5. Goldfink piston filler (can't remember the nib size and it's at home - I'll check later).
6. Eberhard Faber Permapoint (F nib). Lovely pen with a green 'snakeskin' pattern and yellow bands. It just isn't for me.

I only own modern fountain pens right now, but I've heard about how good some of the vintage ones can be. The Parker 51 seems almost legendary, so that was the first thing that caught my attention from your list. (Plus I prefer medium nibs, and the rest listed right now are all fine.) A chance at the Parker 51 would be appreciated. Thanks for the offer!

I love that green pen in the solo picture (the Wearever, is it?) I'd love a shot at that, please!

Hi! That Sheaffer 444 looks pretty sleek. I'd love a chance to write with it! Thanks for the PIF.

Thanks for doing this, Carl.
I have half a dozen pens (3 Konrads, 1 Esterbrook, and 2 vintage German student pens from Lex); more than I'm likely to ever need or use. Having said that, I'd like to enter this--not for myself, but to snag up one as a reward for one of my "A" students (as yet TBD) this upcoming school year. As such, I don't care which one it would be; I'll leave the final decision-making up to you.

I would love the opportunity to bring the Eberhard Faber Permapoint into my home. It looks so interesting and who wouldn't want a

Thank you so much for the great PIF.

Awesome PIF! I would like to take a stab at getting the Sheaffer 444. I love inlaid nibs! Thank you for the opportunity!

**rdcalhoon** · June 29th, 2015, 09:45 PM

The Goldfink has roused my curiosity. I'd love to give it a try. Thanks for the chance.

Great PIF. I would like a chance at the Parker 51, the Sheaffer is a great penbut I've wanted a Parker 51 since this bug grabbed me.
I hope to get to a point where I can do something like you are doing.
Thanks for the opportunity!

**carlc** · June 30th, 2015, 12:15 AM

Thanks all so far.

The Goldfink has an OB nib.

**RayCornett** · June 30th, 2015, 10:23 AM

I meant to say Sheaffer 444 in my post

**ac12** · June 30th, 2015, 10:32 AM

Please put my name down for the Parker 51 and Sheaffer 444.
I've not seen a flighter 444. I am collecting flighters.

thank you
