Chris,

These are older cartridge units. One is marked "Fineline"; that is actually the first issue of cart pens from the company. I had one earlier this year in a "hot pink" that I sold.
The other nib is "S1", meaning stub in metal(Stainless).

The good news is that if you want to use them, modern Sheaffer cartridges will fit these units! Of course, you can always modify a Sheaffer converter to fit them! wink.gif

The smaller ones look like the Tip Dip nibs.

Frank & JAR are right. The 305's are for the smaller school/cartridge pens & the others are for the Tip Dip models.

I'm not going to BS you. Looking at those labels I see some pretty uncommon TD nibs in there. (I wont use the rare word, but it's not too far from it).

$20-$25 each is a fair general ball park value. The broad manifold/semiflexible are less common. The REAL gem (in my eyes that is) is the stub. $25-30.

The cartridge/school pen units are worth a 5 spot each

FWIW, 20-30 or so is about what a user grade tip dip pen will run you with a common nib.

I would very much like to have these (or the TD stub at the very least) Are you interested in selling them, or planning on keeping them for yourself. If your planning on moving them, I'll be happy to buy some or trade for pens or restoration work.

Very nice find! Where did you score these? (and do they have more...lol)
