Permalink Closed


All  were restored this morning & come with a lifetime guarantee. If it  ever gives you trouble, send it back my way & I'll service it  gratis.

1)Mottled Red Hard Rubber Century. Flexible 14K Century nib. 4 1/2" Capped, 5 1/2" posted. This opne is a bit of a salvage/frankenpen. You'll notice the extra cap bands & wrong clip. (Moore rather than a Century) The pen came to me missing the clip, top of the cap & had a crack near the cap lip. I modified & installed a stray Moore clip I had on hand. I tried to find something for the top of the cap & found a small medallion that fit just right. As I was installing the medallion the crack turned into broken out chunk. I epoxied the pieces back in and added the extra cap bands for stability. I've been using this pen for a couple of monthe with no problems of any kind. Everything is aesthetic &doesn't hamper the performance of the pen at all. $50.00


2) Duofold Jr. Not for sale yet.


3) Ingersol ring top in Black and Bronze celluloid.  Lever filler. Crisp imprint on the cap lip. 14K Flexible Ingersol (CHI)  nib. Medium line w/ no pressure flexes to BB plus. This is a sweet  writer. Overall condition 8/10 $40.00

4) Mottled Red Hard Rubber Paramount ring top, made by Wahl. (missing the ring/bale). Lever filler. Incorrect but amazing, 14K  Flexible Aikin Lambert & Co. #2. fine line w/ no pressure, flexes to  Broad.  Overall condition. Nice color, very light oxidation. 7.5/10 $45

SOLD 5) Early GF Conklin ring top, W pattern in the chasing. Lever filler. 14K Flexible  #2 Conklin Toledo nib. Fine line w/ no pressure. Flexes to B. Overall  very good condition. Some very faint drawer wear (micro scuffs) and 2  very tiny dings to the (unengraved) indica on the cap. Condition 7.75/10  $75.00

6) GF Parker Ring Top set. This set is in amazing condition with 2 smallish issues. First is the nib, not the Parker nib one would expect. It is wearing a 14K #3 Sheaffers. Semi flex. Medium line & very smooth. The 2nd is the blind cap. The black piece is one I found in my parts bin & works-ish. It's mainly to cover the button filler & not much else. The pencil will jot turn or expel the lead, I know jack & squat about pencil repairs so it may be simple or something else. I just don't know. Aestheticaly both pieces are in 10/10 condition. Zero dings, brassing or aything like that. A quick nib swap and a new blind cap & you will have a seriously sweet collector grade set. $100
