A vast majority of my current collection are Western Fine or Smaller (mostly smaller), all are working and clean. All of the vintage pens were restored after March/April 2014.
Hoping to trade to pens/etc that may have a (western) Medium-to-Broad/(japanese) Broad+ or cursive/crisp italics (preferably under 1.1). Even without the Jitterbug below, I do have two pens that can take Jowo #6 nibs. I'm partial to Japanese brands, but I'll take anything into consideration if offered.
I will take into consideration partial trades (ie: item+cash for one or more of the pens) or just straight sell if you make an offer. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
