COMMENTS:
This Parker Duofold International is from my collection.
I'm finding that larger pens fit my hand better these days, and the pen
hasn't been used for quite some time. The pen is in excellent
condition, fine nib (feed was replaced by Parker so is unmarked).
It has the fancy Parker Duofold medallion on the top.
In the original box and outer box (sticker removed) with the
papers. |

COMMENTS:
The Statesman dates from around 1945-1947, likely closer to
1945
with the red striped section instead of a black one that unscrews from
the barrel. A little smaller than the Valiants, this is a
comfortable pen to write with when the cap is posted - and it posts
firmly. The plunger filler system (aka "vacuum") has been
fully
restored using our high grade rubber material for both the packing unit
and head gasket. Very reliable, and they hold quite a bit of ink.
I don't know that I've had to re-do any of the pens that
I've
restored over the last 11 years or so - and there are hundreds of them
out there. About the only maintenance needed is flushing the
pen
occasionally, and a little silicone grease on the plunger rod from time
to time. We have that for sale if you need some.
The jar
will last you a good long time! |

COMMENTS:
The Valiant pens are some of my favorite pens. They're well
made, and hold a lot of ink. The plunger filler system, when
properly restored (and this one is) will last a log time.
Why? Because the rubber installed in the packing unit is
Viton , and the head gaskets are a high grade buna-N rubber - both
chemical and wear resistant. About the only maintenance needed,
outside of flushing the nib on occasion, is to lubricate the plunger
rod with a little silicone grease. The nib is a fine cursive
italic. A fine line with enough variation to be interesting. |

COMMENTS:
The Parker VS was billed as a lower priced alternative to the Parker
51. They share some design elements - the cap parts are
interchangeable with the Parker 51, though the clip design is
different, and the same clutch ring. The plastic though is
not as hard as the 51 Lucite is. The clear feed is
entertaining
because you see both the ink and the air returning to the sac.
OK, entertaining if you're stuck at home with the
flu
maybe, but I did find it to be interesting. The nib
is a
true BROAD nib, nice and fat and smooth. The cap has been
refrosted, the jewel is original. This pen has the aluminum
button filler with the aluminum thread bushing that screws in from the
back end. Fully restored. |

COMMENTS:
I like the date codes on the Parker pens of this era.
They
often remind me of the events in world history.
Last
quarter 1941, the pen could have been made right around the attack on
Pearl Harbor. This one's date code puts its production after
the
end of WWII, so may have been a gift to a returning GI. Its
fun
to speculate. This is a clean Vacumatic. A little
transparency to the barrel, but not much. No brassing on the
clip or cap band, a clean pump, and a nice extra fine nib.
Fully
restored. Please
make sure that you specify the right pen when
you place your order , including the pen number! |

COMMENTS:
I
consider the Parker Vacumatic to be a very well designed pen. very well
made. The celluloid holds up well, and rarely decays like
some of
the other brands of the era. The caps post well, and many
people
like the feel of the pens in their hand. This one has nice
transparency as you can see. Not quite the bright green of a
NOS
pen, but better than I often see. The imprint is excellent,
no
brassing to the clip or cap band. A nice writing fine nib in
the
front end. There is one small flea bite in the barrel, which
you
can see in the picture. Fully restored. Since we
have 3
black Vacumatics listed as I write this, please be sure to state the pen
and pen number when you place your order! |

COMMENTS: The
Parker 51 is without a doubt one of the most popular pens, and
maybe the
most popular pen ever made, and I would argue the best pen
ever
made. Tough, very reliable, and we sell every one we list.
The demi Vacumatic 51pens were the same diameter as the full
size
pen, but with the Aerometric pens of the early 50s, they were both
shorter and thinner. The color of this pen is burgundy, not
plum
- sorry. The metal is clean, the cap refrosted.
The pen has been restored with a new PVC sac. The
nib is a
smooth fine. |

The Depression era pens were a bit down the scale from the

feed etc. Very attractive pens with the stepped cap
top and
blind cap.. This clip and cap bands on this pen
show some
darkening of the metal, so may have been replated. No tooth
marks
or cracks. Nice color to the celluloid. The nib is
a smooth
fine. Freshly restored.

I've had 3 or 4 forest green Aerometric 51s over
the
years. The last one I bought I decided to keep, and it will
not
go anywhere. This one is nice and clean, no dings in the
cap,
nice smooth extra fine nib, clean sac guard.... I've replaced
the
sac, with a ribbed PVC sac of course, and refrosted the cap.
The
jewel is a reproduction jewel. The nice thing about our pens
is
that you never
have to send the pen out to have it restored. It even comes
with
a warranty. Buy it, fill it, write. I'm afraid that
I
haven't figured out how to teleport pens, but we do ship priority mail,
usually the next day. About as close as I can get to instant
gratification. |

COMMENTS:
We recently picked up two of these pens. The pens
are
the 2780 Triumph Imperials from 1995-96. They are palladium
plated, not chrome, with gold electroplated trim. The pens
originally came with long gold plated nibs. I've
upgraded
both to 14K nibs. Both come with new red end (i.e..
PVC
sac) squeeze converters. Both are in the original
Sheaffer
box with with papers, and the nibs still have their chalk markings on
the bottom. Very nice, clean pens.

COMMENTS:
With the flat ball radius clip, this is one of the

silver through out the pen. No brassing on the trim, though
it
has the typical slightly hazy appearance. Though you don't
see it
in the picture, the barrel has excellent transparency. The
has
Sheaffer's excellent plunger filler - fully restored with our high
grade, long life synthetic rubber materials. The mask on the
#5
Feather Touch nib is excellent. The only flaw is a
repaired
cap lip crack. You'll have to look closely to find it, and
you
won't feel it. |

COMMENTS:
I've always found the Sheaffer Crest to be an attractive pen
with its golden brown or black barrel against the gold filled cap.
Because WWII was under way when the
Triumph line was introduced in 1942,
Sheaffer could
not use brass as the base metal for the rolled gold cap, and used
sterling silver instead. The Crest is found only in golden
brown
and black, never in carmine, green or silver. The barrel on
the
pen has nice transparency, and the pen fills completely with one
stroke. The nib is a nice, smooth fine.
There is the
usual small dent in the top of the cap (easy to miss)
and a
couple of other small dents elsewhere on the cap, but overall in nice
condition - no brassing on the cap or clip. The
white dot
is, as it should be, on the end of the blind cap Fully
restored
with our high grade rubber materials. About the
only
maintenance needed is a little silicone grease on the rod from time to
time. We have the good
stuff that we use in the shop for $5, and would be happy to add a jar
to the order when you buy the pen.

COMMENTS:
I like
this pen, which is why I've put a lot of time into the cap.
There
was some surface damage, which has been repaired. The cap was
worth saving. Some folks don't like engravings, but this one
is
just cool. The clip on the cap puts the date of manufacture
around 1929. The cap band says "A.E Inc. Helpful Suggestions
1930" On the back is a monogram with the initials MFG,
highlighted in gold. The color in the picture is pretty
accurate.
The nib is a smooth, fine, Sheaffer 5-30 nib, which was used
in
the non-lifetime pens. Fully restored.

I came across a bunch of Esterbrook desk sets recently, and grabbed
them. I'm putting the fountain pens up for sale here.
All
have been restored, all have good 2000 series nibs, and none of them
are your run of the mill nibs. The 8 Balls are clean, the
clear
tapers are very clean, no tooth marks or discoloration, The
black
set is an earlier version with rings cut into the taper at
the
barrel/taper joint, and has an appropriate earlier nib. All
are
$49 - I just want to move them out. The nib described goes
with
the base - I'm not swapping them around. Specify which base
you
want - color and number please. Nib descriptions
are from
the Esterbrook nib chart.
#1 - Teal - 2988 nib - broad nib SOLD
#2 - Black 2048 nib - "shaded writing" Note that
there is a very small bit of a bent to the taper .

NOS Parker Micro-film Black ink
2 oz bottle
$22/bottle
|

|
COMMENTS:
I recently picked up a case of Parker Micro-film black ink.
During WWII special forms were provided for sending
letters
to GIs overseas. The letters were photographed on large
microfilm
reels and set to their destinations instead of hundreds of individual
letters. The letters were then enlarged at the destination,
and
then delivered to the GI. A good, solid black ink was
essential
to yield a good image of the letter. This ink was developed
to
facilitate the process.
Out of 12 bottles, only one had been opened and used. The
condition of the boxes, and the dust on the bottle were evidence that
they are indeed NOS, and never opened. I of course, had to
open
the boxes to check the bottles, but I did that from the
bottom as
much as possible. These will be sent to USA addresses only.
Perfect to use in an Oversize Vacumatic or Balance....

This is the smallest Balance Sheaffer made. At just a bit

extra
fine 5-20. The color in the picture is accurate.
No
cracks, no crazing, no tooth marks. There is the typical
brassing
on the ball of the clip - the rest of the trim is clean.
There is
a posting mark at the end of the barrel. It's close enough to
the
imprint that I've decided not to try to clean that up. |

COMMENTS:
It isn't often that you find a stickered, NOS snorkel.
There is no evidence that the nib has ever seen ink, and the
snorkel tube is clean. The internal parts are as clean as a
whistle. The rubber seals have been replaced with and OEM
Sheaffer 0-ring, and original Sheaffer style point holder gasket.
The only thing not with the original seal is the sac, which
is
PVC. If you want a latex sac, I'll put one in,
but
you're better off with a PVC sac if you might use the pen.
Water
tested only. I have not buffed the pen, but only cleaned it
up a
bit with my pen polish.

COMMENTS:
The Sheaffer Tuckaway is a funky pen. They're short
pens
capped, but a decent length for writing when posted.
They're short, so you aren't going to write an epistle with
the
limited ink supply. The clip is often mistakenly referred to
as a
"military clip," but it isn't a military clip, it's just short.
Like the pen. I suppose it was the last hurray as a
vest
pocket pen, except that it doesn't have a ring top. A great
pen
for polo shirt pockets, or just for your pants pocket. No dents in the
cap, clean trim, a smooth XF nib. Sheaffer futzed around
quite a
bit with what to do with the white dot, especially on the metal cap
pens. This one has the early metal ring around the dot ,
abandoned when they figured out that they could just secure it directly
in a hole in the cap like they did with the plastic cap pens.
Nice pen. |

COMMENTS:
The Vintage is an upscale version of the No Nonsense..
Gold plated trim, gold plated nib,, with a gold disc in the
top
of the cap. They're nice pens - and you can put a Balance or
Connaisseur nib in the pen. I like them, and have a
couple
stashed away. |
Brobdingnagian Pin Vise V2.0

COMMENTS:
Named the Brobdingnagian Pin Vise with apologies to both
Johnathan Swift and Dorothy Sayers*
This has to be one of the most useful tools in my tool box. I
made mine 3 or more years ago, and find myself constantly reaching for
it when restoring pens. The 3/8" chuck will hold drill bits
for
cleaning out snorkel sac guards, reamers, taps, tapers,
you
name it. It's much easier to grip this tool than just a
drill,
or a tap wrench which never tightens right on a round object,
and
fits a wide range of diameters from a #50 drill all the way up to 3/8"
If it fits, you have an instant handle. I find it
to
be
very useful for holding things like Vac jewels or other small parts for
buffing. They're held securely instead of getting ripped out
of
your fingers and flung into the deep dark corners of the shop.
(been there, eh?)
V 2.0 has a chuck designed for hand tightening.
Overall
length is 7" The handle is about 5 1/2" long and 1
1/4" at the
widest part so that you get a good grip.
I've listed
them
here
instead of on the "stuff" page because if you do pen repair, you
need this tool!
These will be out for sale at the Ohio show.
I
suspect that once people see one being used at my seminar on Friday,
they won't last long. If you want to order one (and pay for
it) and pick it up at the show, we'll be happy to put your
name
on one.
