********all sold The usual rules apply. The first I want it email that lands in my box at vinagedelights01@gmail takes it home. First Class domestic US shipping w/ delivery confirmation Free. International Registered w/ insurance $15.00 ~HAS A NEW HOME** Wahl bantam Desk pen. Faceted barrel in the 'Doric Style' Richard Binder has an awesome article on them in his reference pages. The flexible 14K fine/medium #0 nib is very nice, but is a slightly later replacement. The original nib (tipping is gone, but still included in case you want to get it retipped & back to 100% correct) has a block style font, while the replacement has a 'zig zag' style font to it. There is some discoloration near the section. It looks like it may be a very light scorch mark of some kind, but cant be 100% sure. It's not deteriorating, but something happened. Not horrible but it's there. Tip to tail it's 5 7/16" long. From what I've been able to learn, these are pretty danged uncommon in the faceted barrel style, let alone in the desk pen form. I do not have a sac in it right now, because I'm out of tiny sacs. I'll include a bottle of shellac to help along with the resacing. IIRC, this takes a #12 size sac. Trim it to fit, a swipe of shellac on the barrel nipple and your done. $100. price reflects the section discoloration. ~~Early RHR Parker Duofold Jr. desk set. Smooth and moist (6/10) fine 14K 'Parker Duofold Pen' nib. Strong and crisp8imprint. Excellent condition. Base is I believe agate and is 3 1/2" x 4". The Parker label on the front of the base is perfect. No brassing & in excellent condition. The only issue with this beauty happened just a few minutes ago. As I was picking it up to take the pics, it slipped from my hand (less than a 4"drop) and landed on a pencil. On the back side center, bottom edge, a very small flake popped out. It fits back in perfectly and I have it held in with a piece of tape. If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't see it, it's almost impossible to see. $125.00 Price reflects the base boo boo. +25% TFPC Member Love ya guys discount. ~BCHR Waterman 52 1/2V ring top. his little lady is in nearly perfect condition with only a TINY bit of discoloration. In the pic you can see the very faint line where the cap covered the barrel. The real beauty of this little one happens to be the 14K broad flexible stub #2 Watermans nib. yup, you read that right. Let me just say, that this was a hard one to let go of. LOVE using this pen, but it's just a hair too small for my bear sized paw to feel comfortable with. There is a super thin line of brassing along the top edge of the cap band and a SUPER tiny spot on either side of the globe on the filler lever. 100.00 +25% TFPC Member Love ya guys discount. -- Edited by DWL on Wednesday 18th of November 2009 01:02:24 AM __________________ Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito ~Yield not to misfortunes, but advance all the more boldly against them
