Pen #2354             Parker Chinese Lacquer Premier        $247
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material:  lacquer over brass
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler: cartridge/converter              converter included
Point: extra fine	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5.3"
COMMENTS:  The Parker Premier is an upscale relative of the Parker 75, and somewhat uncommon.  The finish is Chinese Lacquer, the  cap top and cap band faceted and frosted.  This pen is in excellent condition.    The finish is still shiny, no chips or any flaws that I can see.  The nib is a smooth extra fine.  The nib unit on these pens has the skinny feed.  Made in France with a French 18K nib  A stunning, exceptionally clean pen.

Pen #2430     Sheaffer 5-30  flex nib        $177
Overall Grade: excellent	Metal:  gold plated - excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler: lever
Point: fine flex	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  4.6"
COMMENTS:  This  Sheaffer 5-30  dates from around 1924 to the late 20s/early 30s, though some suggest that they were made as late as 1939.  They were most common at the same time as the flat top Duofold Jr was made, and their size is nearly the same.  The 5 was nib size and price point ($5) and the 30 was for a 30 nib year warranty.  Most 5-30 pens are found with the stiff Sheaffer nib much like the later lifetime nibs, but this pen has a flex nib.  Not wet noodle, but decidedly a flex nib.  The plating is clean with no brassing, the imprint deep and clean, no tooth marks or cracks,  the nib smooth.  The cap posts nicely to give a nice balance to the pen.

Pen #2431            Waterman 452 1/2V   Flex nib     $137
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material:  sterling silver overlay
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see notes	Filler: lever
Point: extra fine	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  3.6"
COMMENTS:   The sterling overlay #2 Watermans are the quintessential Waterman pen.  Not as expensive as the gold overlay of course, but pretty impressive.  They still are today.  In the Waterman numbering system the 452 1/2V says it is a sterling, slender 51 vest pocket pen.  You might find it being used by a lady with a ribbon or chain hanging around their neck, or by a gentleman at the other end of a watch chain in their vest pocket.  You wouldn't write an epistle with the pen, but it would be handy for short notes.  This pen has the initials EAS engraved in the barrel.  There are a few  flea bites at the corner end of the barrel, and where the cap posts, a small spot at the cap lip, but no significant dents anywhere.  There is some slight fading to the rubber under the overlay, but the exposed barrel and section are black.  The lever is marked "sterling" on the underside of the spoon. The nib is an extra fine flex.  Not wet noodle, but it is a flex nib.  Fully restored.

Pen #2432            NOS Sheaffer Admiral  semi-flex nib      $167
Overall Grade:  NOS	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  NONE	Filler: lever
Point: extra fine	Imprint:  crisp	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:  The Admiral began production in 1945, first in celluloid and later in Forticel. The fact that this is celluloid places it in the 1945 - 1947 range.  New old stock, so never sold, but not mint as it has been inked.  The trim is perfect, the imprint crisp.  Note the bright clear celluloid of the section.  The nib is a clean Feather Touch #5, semi-flex.  That is to say that it has some spring to it, will flex a bit, but it is far from a full flex nib.  You won't go from extra fine to a super wide line. A very nice pen.

Pen #2422             Carmine  Sheaffer Statesman        $187
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler: plunger
Point: fine	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5"
COMMENTS:    The Sheaffer Carmine celluloid pens just pop, which is why they're so popular.  The Statesman was the smaller of the two Triumph nib pens of the later 1940s - phased out in favor of the solid color Forticel pens in 1947.  When I restore the plunger fillers, I use high grade rubber produces,  meaning a Viton 0-ring in the packing unit, and a high grade buna-N rubber for the head gasket on the plunger rod.  About the only maintenance that the pen needs is an occasional flush, and a little silicone grease on the rod so that it slides easily past the 0-ring as you fill the pen.

Pen #2425      Conklin Endura        $187
Overall Grade: extra fine	Metal:  gold plated - extra fine	Material: Celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see comments	Filler: lever
Point: fine	Imprint:  worn but readable	Size:   4.8"
COMMENTS:   This is a 1920s Conklin Endura in brown and bronze.  It's the standard size pen, i.e. right in the middle of the range.  There is a little brassing on the cap band, and the top edge and bottom edge of the clip have been replated.     Restored, of course!

Pen #2303              Jade Sheaffer Jr Flat top        $177
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler: lever
Point: extra fine	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  4.5"
COMMENTS:   This is only the second Sheaffer Jade that I've seen in this dense, brilliant green.   The picture is fairly accurate.  Note the white, white swirls in the cap - there's some white in the barrel too, not faded or tan .  Fully restored.

Pen #2303              675 Regency Stripe Targa      $167
Overall Grade: extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material:  Lacquer over brass
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler: cartridge/converter              converter included
Point: medium	Imprint:	Size:  5.4"
COMMENTS:   The Regency Stripe Targa  began production in 1985.  The stripes are engraved in the barrel, with a clear lacquer finish over top.  The pen has been serviced with a new cap clutch installed, and the nib cleaned, sealed, and a new 0-ring installed in the section.

Pen #2428              Parker Vacumatic Major       $217
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see comments	Filler: vacumatic
Point: medium	Imprint:  excellent                  4th quarter 1943	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:   The color really is green.  I just couldn't' get the camera to get the color right when I took the pictures.  There is a little scuffing of the plating  in the cartouche area of the cap band.  The nib is a smooth medium nib,  the filler rod is a bright clear color, not the usual ambered.  A nice clean vacumatic, fully restored and ready to use!

Pen #2427              40s Duofold Jr       $137
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal:  extra fine	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  some brassing around edge at     top of clip,	Filler: vacumatic
Point: extra fine	Imprint:  worn but readable	Size:  4.7"
COMMENTS:   The 40s Duofolds have been given a number of names by collectors.  Vacufold, Duovac are a couple.  The former though refers to the pens that look like the 40s Duofolds, but are marked Vacumatic.  The 40s Duofolds came in a couple of different flavors.  You usually see the pens of this size with a button filler instead of a Vacumatic filler.  But this one was made in the 4th quarter of 1940,  before the  introduction of the "disposable" fillers with the plastic rod, so it has a Speedline filler.  There is some brassing around the top of the clip, but overall it is a nice clean pen.   The pen is perhaps suited  better for a smaller hand, but the cap posts nicely, so the balance is good when writing.  Fully restored.

Pen #2417            Artus-Ballit  set           $117
Overall Grade: extra fine	Metal: excellent	Material: plastic
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler:  piston
Point: fine steel	Imprint:  crisp	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:   This is an interesting set.  I honestly can't tell you how long I've had it.  I just know it was in my collection for years.  The name is Artus, but note the warranty sheet (in German no less) that has Lamy GMBH on it, so made by Lamy.   The pen is marked 42 FK, which I gather means model 42, fine, round nib (kugel = ball).   The pencil is marked Artus 74, propel only.  You move the lead forward by turning the green knob on the back.  The pen is a piston filler with a plastic piston seal.  Because it is plastic, I assume that the pen was made some time after 1951 or so.  The imprint is crisp, the nib smooth, the trim may have some brassing, but not bad. Both are very clean  The set  comes in the case with the warranty sheet in German, and the instructions printed in both German and English.    Cleaned, the piston lubricated, and ready to write.

Pen #2419      Black and Pearl Oversize Balance        $277
Overall Grade: extra fine	Metal:  gold plated- extra fine	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see comments	Filler: lever
Point: fine	Imprint:  excellent	Size:   5.5"
COMMENTS: This OS Balance was made between late 1934 and early 1935 - note the  flat ball humped  clip -  which was used for a relatively short period of time.  The pen has the seamed celluloid.  You can see where the material was joined.  On the barrel it is directly in line with the lever (rather nicely done), and on the cap it is to the right of the cap, but very well done and not glaringly obvious.   You can see some very fine cracks in the material at the top of the cap, but it is not  spreading nor has it changed over the several years that I 've had the pen.  Fully restored and in rather nice condition.

Pen #2356           Sheaffer Imperial Brass Targa     $227 and cartridge case
Overall Grade: Excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material:  lacquered brass
Nib condition:  near mint	Flaws: none	Filler:  cartridge/converter               converter included
Point:  Chalk marked medium	Imprint:	Size:  5.3"
COMMENTS:  Sheaffer  1020 Imperial Brass Targa introduced in 1986.   The pens have a coating (I suspect lacquer) to prevent tarnishing.   It's in excellent condition with no damage or wear visible.  New chalk marked nib unit with a new converter.  The cartridge case was purchased separately and shows some wear on the edges, and has the original cartridges in it.

Pen #2409           WASP  Addipoint            $107
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal: excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler:  lever
Point:  Fine Line 341 (fine) and WASP Gregg Shorthand nib - see notes below	Imprint:  crisp	Size:  5.1'
COMMENTS:   Take a look again brother, it  ain't  an Esterbrook, though you would be forgiven if you took it for one as Robyn did when she first saw the pen!  The WASP  pen was a sub brand of Sheaffer, and acronym for Walter A Sheaffer Pen.  Sheaffer seemed to use the line for products that they wanted to market test without putting their name on the pen.  For instance, the first plunger fillers were WASP pens, not Sheaffer, and the design was tweaked before it was released bearing the Sheaffer name.   The Addipoint was designed to go head to head with Esterbrooks when it was introduced in 1939, and featured similar plastics, chrome trim, and interchangeable nib units.  But unlike the Esterbrook where you could change just the nib, you had to change out the entire section with a sac attached...  and the quality of the trim wasn't as good either.  The pen was out of production by the time the USA entered WWII.   This pen is in excellent condition with clean trim, no damage to the celluloid and a crisp imprint.  I'm supplying two nibs with the pen - one is an original WASP Gregg Shorthand nib with the tube (and a new sac).  A bit toothy, but it is an original nib.  The other is the section and feed originally in the pen, but with a later Fine Line XF nib, which is rather nice writing.

Pen #2387            Carmine Sheaffer Jr              $127
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal: excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  replated lever	Filler:  lever
Point: extra  fine Junior nib	Imprint:  extra fine	Size:  4.9"
COMMENTS:   The Sheaffer Jr is the smallest of the Balance pens.  Carmine, the most desirable color next to  rose glow.  The trim on the cap is bright and shiny, and original.  The lever has been replated with rhodium.  Fully restored.

Pen #2424             Esterbrooks        See table below

Comments:  This seems to be the most efficient way to list 7 different Esterbrooks.  These have been in my collection for some time, collecting dust,  and the display case is full.  All of the pen have been re-restored, cleaned and polished.  Nibs vary with the pen.  I prefer to keep the nibs that are shown with each pen rather than get into swapping nibs around and trying to remember which pen has which nib, and changing the page with each sale.  All pens are the full size pen - so the larger Dollar pens, and Esterbrook J pens.  There are some somewhat exotic nibs in the batch, so priced accordingly. Please specify pen description, color and number when ordering.  All three together in your request will help avoid confusion.  It doesn't take much. sometimes  :-)

Pen #2400          Sheaffer Valiant       $187
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see notes	Filler:  plunger
Point: extra fine	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5.2"
COMMENTS:  The Valiant as we've noted in the past, was the largest of the Sheaffer pens in the post war  1940s.    Its not a huge pen like the oversize flat tops, the oversize Balance pens, or later PFM, but it is big enough to be very comfortable for writing.  You don't have the feeling that you're trying to write with a Coke bottle.  Fully restored using our high grade buna-N rubber, which should last a good long time.  Priced a little lower than where I usually price these because of the initials in the cap band.

Pen #2363          lever fill Sheaffer Sentinel Deluxe             $227
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal: excellent	Material: Lucite
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws: none	Filler:  vacumatic
Point: fine	Imprint:  crisp	Size:  5.5"
COMMENTS:   The Sentinel Deluxe is the larger, Valiant size variant of the Sheaffer Triumph pens.  This is the biggest of the pens, with the frosted metal cap - which is exceptionally clean and frosty, no brassing and no dents   I have several of the Valiant size pens in rotation, and find them to be very comfortable to write with.  A great pen, fully restored.

Pen #2394          standard size Sheaffer Military clip Balance        $137
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  knurling worn on grip knob	Filler: plunger
Point:  fine two tone  Lifetime	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:  The story is that the military required that flap pockets on uniform shirts had to be able to close flat - no pen sticking up or out the side.  Parker's Vacumatics sat low in the pocket, even Esterbrooks fit in that way, but the Balance stuck out - so  Sheaffer flipped the clip over and folded it over the top of the cap.   But then I have a book with a picture of a couple of  Doolittle's pilots in a publicity shot - and there, sticking up out of the pocket, pushing the flap aside plain as day is a Sheaffer Balance.  Go figure.  This one is in nice shape,  good trim, some transparency to the barrel, a good mask plating the nib, and fully restored with our long life rubber material.  The original celluloid rod has been replaced with  a new one of stainless steel.  Fully restored.

Pen #2407          Parker 51 aerometric            $147
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal: excellent	Material: Lucite
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws: see notes	Filler:  aerometric
Point: fine 14K	Imprint:	Size:  5.4"
COMMENTS:   A pen that needs no introduction.  A Parker 51 aerometric.  An exceptionally smooth nib, on the wide side of fine.  The cap has been refrosted - there is a small flea bite near the top.  Cleaned, restored and ready to use.

Pen #2398             Emperor's Silver Sheaffer Legacy         $257
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material:  sand blasted, chrome plated          palladium plated trim
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler:  cartridge/converter               converter included
Point: NOS medium 18K palladium plated	Imprint:	Size:  5.4"
COMMENTS:   The pen is sand blasted chrome plated with palladium trim and a NOS, chalk marked 18K medium nib.  The pattern is cut into the surface of the pen.  The cap closes with a nice firm snap.  New red end converter installed.  Note that the nib for this pen by itself was priced by Sheaffer at  $225.

Pen #2399              Parker Duofold International set        $187
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material:  acrylic
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler:  rollerball
Point: roller ball	Imprint:	Size:  5.3"
COMMENTS:  This set is from the early production issue of the Duofold International line - so late 1980s.  The rollerball can be easily converted to a fountain pen (which is how I used it) by unscrewing the blind cap and removing the plug.  The pencil uses 0.9mm lead.  Both in excellent condition.   Sold as a set only.

Pen #2357              Sheaffer gold filed Triumph Thin Model Touchdown         $227
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws: small ding in cap top        some scratches in surface of blind cap	Filler: Touchdown
Point: extra fine	Imprint:	Size:  5.3"
COMMENTS:   I've had this pen for about 9 years now.  It's a stunning pen to look at, but I find the TM Sheaffers to be a little small for my hand, so it doesn't get used.  There is a small ding in the side of the  barrel, none side of the cap.  There are some scratches on the blind cap but no dents   There is one small dent in the very top of the cap - you have to catch the light right to see it.  No brassing anywhere.  The nib is an exceptionally smooth extra fine.  Really sweet.

Pen #2389            Sheaffer 5-30 ringtop             $137
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal: excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler:  lever
Point:  extra fine	Imprint:  crisp	Size:  5.0"
COMMENTS:  A standard Jr flattop size pen, but with  ringtop.  There are a number of  shades of Sheaffer jade.  The color on this pen is a light jade.  Not discolored or faded - and it  is even throughout the pen.  The color of  2303 is from a different time, so the color is darker.    It has the correct monotone  5-30 nib.

Pen #2365      Sheaffer slender  Lifetime Balance             $117
Overall Grade: extra fine	Metal: gold plated             excellent	Material:  celluloid
Nib condition: excellent	Flaws: initials in barrel	Filler:  plunger
Point:   medium	Imprint:   crisp	Size: 5.5"
COMMENTS:  The slender Balance is the same length as the standard Balance, but is thinner and has a smaller nib.  There is some transparency to the barrel.  The nib is a smooth medium, the plating mask is in excellent condition .  The cap posts nicely on the barrel.

Pen #2313             Sheaffer OS Roseglow Balance Cap        $347
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
COMMENTS:  Roseglow OS Balance Cap.  No cracks or tooth marks.  The clip is firmly attached.  Clip and band have been replated with a base layer of nickel then 14K gold.  Not perfect, but how many OS Roseglow caps do you find?

Pen #2309             Sheaffer Balance set            $87
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal: excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  name engraved	Filler:  plunger
Point:  extra  fine	Imprint:   crisp	Size:  4.8"
COMMENTS:  The Jr size Sheaffer Balance is the smallest of the Balance models - I say "Jr size" because it isn't a Sheaffer Jr - rather it is a Lifetime pen with the white dot and a Lifetime nib.  It also has a jewelers band cap, wider with ribs and a panel in the back for engraving initials.    No brassing, no cracks, fully restored.  The pencil  works and  has a new eraser.  A sweet pen for a smaller hand.
