Small collection of fountain pens

OK guys, been absent for chunk of time due to health issues but I am here now to sell off all my pens.
In 2017 I had fallen in love again with fountain pens and started collecting but in the end, I have to give them up for only one reason:
I am left handed.

Now, I dont know too much about the vintage pieces you see in the photos, i dont remember the details about them.
All the pens work and write nicely.

Take them all for $250 shipped with tracking.
At that price, you pay for the vintage piece and the Noodlers and you get the other ones for free.

I have 100% feedback on Ebay under the handle: labonnepoutine

Just an observation......

Being left handed doesn't mean you can't write with a fountain pen, but you have to ensure your hand stays below or above your writing. I can't imagine how hard it would be to become an "overwriter" but I've seen some left handed people write that way with their pens.

You should only use dry writing fountain pens combined with a quick drying ink. Jinhao pens shouldn't really have been on your shopping list as they are usually wet writing pens.

I bet there are plenty of left handed writers who have written or do write with vintage Parker pens and dry ink.

I do not write with pens, I draw.
I am a newspaper cartoonist and drawing with fountain pens have lead to many smudges and sore wrists
Unless you are left handed, it is not easy to understand
