Welcome to- The Fountain Pen Community!

The first confirming "I want it" email sent to me at vintagedelights01@gmail.com takes it home.  

Domestic USA shipping with Delivery Confirmation is free. Registered International is $15.00 world wide.

My pay pal id/address is the same as my contact information above.

OK here's were we separate those who trust and want to win from those who don't.

I'm going to offer up these pens with no pics, just an honest description. The prices will be lower than they are 'worth' for lack of pics and as a thank you to those who believe I'm back in a big way & doing great.  I know for a fact I can drop these in the bay with a higher BIN than I'm asking here and they would be gone nearly overnight.

All pens are 100% restored and are working perfectly. They also come with a full 1 year guarantee. If it gives you any trouble, send it back and I'll fix it gratis,. if you decide to sell, trade or otherwise flip the pen. print off a copy of this sales post and a copy of the pay pal payment and include it with the pen to the new owner. As long as those are together I'll honor any time remaining on the guarantee. How many other pen repair/dealer type guys will go that step to insure their product.

I am giving these one more shot on the boards and sending everything to ebay on friday. the first price you'll see is my currwent asking price. the price in parenthesis is my BIN price on ebay so you can see what I'm doing to get a good pen in your hands and the cash I need on mine.

All righty then...here we go...


If it pleases you my patrons, I prepare to prompt you to posthaste, please return to your preferred, properly promptly prepared yet pleasantly presented Pentrace markePlace post perusing...Phew Pa'adner! Plenty of P's placed properly or poorly?

Pretty much pulled most of my P's out of the pouch. Poo, Phooey & Pew! There's a few more. Phuggit I'm finished.


No P's were harmed in the production of this post and all are over the age of 18......

anyway

~1932 2nd year (first for the herringbone colors/faceted barrel) Blue Herringbone Conklin Nozac. 5 5/16" capped, 6 5/16" posted, 9/16" od cap. HUGE honkin' 14K "Conklin Cushion Point" (say that 5 times fast)It's a rigid nib, but soft writer. Generous fine, thin medium. The flow is a solid 5 on the 1-10 scale. Not wet, not dry, it's just right. There are 1 or 2 small tool marks at the very end of the tines. The nib had been dropped & has a slight right hand hook. I straightened the nib, but couldn't do anything about the marks it suffered from the fall.  

There is ZERO brassing on this pen, though there are some very fine marks on the trim, but nothing horrible at all. It has a strong imprint with mild wear in the center. The coin edge on the blind cap is very deep and crisp. There are however marks where it's either been gripped too hard or bitten. Again, they are there but not horrid. The barrel has ambered 70% &while there is SOME clarity when held to light, it's still pretty danged dark. I have replaced the seals and properly lubed the barrel & mech. It's filling just fine & writing like a thoroughbred. Overall I give this pen an honest 7.75/10 Lost points for the ambering & nib marks. This is a stunning pen that will make a better than average daily user. Yours for about $250 less than these usually run.

$450 ($525)



~Blue Sheaffer PFM 1. White metal/chrome trim and silky smooth medium PDAG nib. I have not done anything to this pen other than add a little silicon grease to the blind cap end tube. This is just as it came to me. I believed it was NOS until I saw ink traces on the nib/feed. I have flushed and filled it several times using the original sac & o rings. All I added was a touch of silicon grease to help the filler tube slide easier. Just some very light drawer wear. 9.5/10

$140 (195)


~3 Sheaffer Imperial Cartridge/Converter models. All 3 have 14K fine nibs and are superb writers. 1 black fp & rb set (needs refill) and 1 burgundy. All 3 are in excellent inked but damn near NOS condition. No converters. 9.5/10

All 3 for $50 (75)

~ 3rd quarter 1946 Brick Red Parker VS. Very frosty lustraloy cap. Slip cap. Simply one of the most amazing, smooth & moist Fine 14K parker nibs I've ever used. First generation clear feed and metal filler button collar. This was probably close to some of the last in this style as they went with black feeds and a cheaper filler unit in 1Q47 (or until stocks ran out etc etc). Excellent condition. 8.95/10 Restored and 100% working. it's in my rotation now and is one of my current go to pens.

$100 ($145)

If you want to take the group for $700 shipped world wide (registered international) I'll save you even more cash.

Seriously folks. I'm not the assclown  I used to be. Take a chance and see that everything is fine and make out with a great deal & some schweet pens.

Regards,
Dennis
