All pens are recently restored and are 100% write ready unless otherwise noted.
1) Pre 1925 Black Sheaffer 3-25 with a sweet flexible 14K #2 Eversharp nib. See pic below for writing sample. It's on the fine side of medium with no pressure and flexes to BB plus with ease. Strong barrel imprint. A tiny spot or 2 of brassing on the clip ball. Straight clip, pinned lever bar. Some mild general wear, nothing drastic at all. $125. FWIW, this is the same 3-25 I used in my repair DVD.
2) Gold pinstripe Sheaffer Targa. 14K medium nib. No dents/dings. Cart/converter filler, no converter. When this one came in, the nib looked like a pretzel. I managed to get it straightened out for the most part. There is a ripple & some tool marks on the end of the tines. It's toothy & needs smoothed some more (I'm out of lapping film/micromesh or it would already be done)but as is it still writes pretty good.These usually run $125-150. But with the nib work still needing some attention I'll take $90 for it.
3) Persian Blue Sheaffer Sovereign 2. "wire band". 2 tone #5 Feather touch nib. fine side of medium & is a sweet writer. Lever filler, strong imprint. Nice clean pen. $40
4) Jade Green 3-25 Sheaffer flat top. Rigid & smooth 14K 3-25 nib. Fine/medium. 4 1/2" capped. Humped ball clip, pinned lever bar. The barrel has darkened a shade or 2 & a band on the cap as well, but overall the color is pretty good. The only issue of note is a small spot on top of the cap directly above the clip. It looks like it got touched by something hot or a drop of acetone or something. It's not BAD but it's there all the same. $50
5)1949 Sheaffer Statesman Tuckaway touchdown filler. (The first year in the Tucky lines to sport the TD filler. Has the 'fat filler' only used on this year's Tucky model)Huge honkin' 2 tone 14K sheaffer fine nib. . Strong imprint, slightly weaker on the left side but still strong. The visuilated section is 99% ambered. Overall great shape & a Superb writer! $65
6) Mid 1930's Wearever Pioneer. medium steel Wearever nib. (the tines are not broken as it appears in the pic, just a bad camera shot.) Beautiful Green/pearl swirl celluloid. Red & black 'pheasant eye' cap/barrel jewels. The trim needs a good buffing to make it really shine. $35
7) Lined BCHR Moore L-82. FLEXIBLE 14K #2 Moore nib. See pic below for writing sample. The ONLY brassing is a micro spot on the side of the clip ball. No cracks or chips, the BHR color is only slightly discolored. 1 MAYBE 2 shades. The barrel imprint is very weak but still present. 4 5/8" capped. This is a wicked nice little pen. $85
8)NOS Black & white wood grain Royal. I don't think it's ever been inked. When I broke it down to install a new sac, there were 0 traces of ink/use. Al of the GP trim is clean & looks perfect. 14k GP #4 spoon nib. There are also a square & star on the nib. 4 1/4" capped. Awesome little pen with PERFECT color. $45
9) Green wood grain ring top Ingersol twist filler. 14K Ingersol nib. Wet medium line flexes to 3-4B. Wet Noodle anyone? This one is the problem child of the group. The ring top is broken off, is slightly discolored & has a big E carved into the barrel. (no cracks). I've tried 3 times to get it writing but no dice each time. Never has a basic Ingersol so thwarted my repair attempts...lol. It's got a new sac installed, but I cant get it to fill. $25 for the nib value, get the rest of the pen as a bonus...lol.
