Pen #2530       Sheaffer Sr Flat top      $227
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see comments	Filler: lever
Point:  fine	Imprint:   CRISP	Size: 5.3"
COMMENTS:  Every so often I come across a really clean Sheaffer Sr Flat top.  This  is one of them - crisp imprint, clean nib, no brassing on the lever or cap band.  The only brassing is on the ball of the clip.  The white dot is on the top of the cap.   Fully restored.   With the nice nib that it has, I may have to "rent" this one for a while.    You can save me from temptation by buying it.

Pen #2507        Sheaffer Saratoga snorkel      $137
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: Forticel
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  initials  JLL engraved               on the cap band.	Filler: snorkel
Point:  medium	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5.6"
COMMENTS:   The Sheaffer Saratoga was one of three open nib model pens.   Sheaffer was pushing their Triumph nib pens, so the open nib pens didn't get a white dot, though everything except the nib unit and snorkel tube was the same.  The same.  ...and they didn't put a white dot on the cap.     This pen is in excellent condition, fully restored, and of course a PVC sac has been installed instead of latex, so it won't fail and leak if you use a fancy ink in it.   It should last a good long time even if you don't!

Pen #2463            Sheaffer Admiral  Balance            $167
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal:  extra fine	Material: Forticel
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see notes	Filler:  lever
Point:  extra fine	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5.3"
COMMENTS:  The standard version of the Sheaffer Balance - standard size like the  two military clip versions we've had on the site.  Nice and clean with a good XF nib, and the mask on the nib is a nice bright silver color.  Note the clean, bright section.  A good choice for a gift  or to be used as a daily writer.

Pen #2531      short  Sheaffer Balance        $137
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: plastic
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler:  lever
Point:  fine	Imprint:  Crisp	Size:  4.8"
COMMENTS:  This is a standard diameterBalance, but a bit shorter - just a tad under 5"  It fits well in a polo shirt pocket.  (I don't suggest carrying pens in pants pockets.  Ouch!)  Very clean with no brassing, crisp threads, crisp inprint, and a nice fine nib.  Fully restored.

Pen #2460             Sheaffer Military Clip Balance       $147
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal::  extra fine	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler: plunger
Point: fine	Imprint:  extra fine	Size:  5.2"
COMMENTS:  A brown Military clip Balance.  Military clip not because its short, but because it is a standard clip turned upside down and folded over the top instead of  on the side of the cap so that the cap could sit low in the pocket, and the flap of a military shirt pocket could be buttoned closed.   ...at least that was the argument.  I still smile to myself when I look at the picture of a couple of Jimmy Doolittle's crew looking at a globe, and there's the Sheaffer Balance proudly sticking up and displacing the pocket flap in a military publicity picture.  Someone no doubt had a cow when they saw that.  The  pen is clean, no cracks,  a nice smooth nib,  good imprint, and of course fully restored using our high grade rubber materials.

Pen #2435             Sheaffer Military clip Balance           $137
Overall Grade: extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material:  celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler:  plunger
Point: fine #5 Feather Touch	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:  This military clip Balance is exceptionally clean.  No brassing, excellent imprint, a nice smooth #5 nib.  Though not the bright green color of a NOS barrel, there is nice transparency in the celluloid.  Except for the absence of the white dot and a lifetime nib, the parts are identical to the Lifetime version of the pen, but they cost (both past and present) a little less than the white dot version.    Fully restored using our high grade synthetic rubber products.

Pen #2499      Sheaffer Junior       $97
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler: lever
Point:   extra  fine - see comments	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5.5"
COMMENTS:   Green striped Sheaffer Jr.  The  pen is the same length as a standard Sheaffer Balance, but it thinner.  It  has been restored, and has the appropriate Jr. nib.  While I wouldn't cal the nib flexible, these nibs often have a nice bit of spring to them which allows for some line variation.   The clip and lever are a nice shiny white chrome.  The cap band shows a little wear.  Over all, a clean attractive pen.

Pen #2505        Parker  Milleraies  75       $197
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: gold plated
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler:  cartridge/converter               converter included
Point: fine	Imprint:	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:  The  Milleraies finish is gold plated with  fine vertical lines.  Both the nib and pen are made in  France - thus the round section and the "fat feed" nib assembly.   The converter is the old style red/blue plastic twist converter.  No dings, no dents, no brassing.

Pen #2437             Parker Vacumatic Jr       $147
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal::  extra fine	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler: vacumatic
Point: fine	Imprint:  excellent                first quarter 1947	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:  By 1947 Parker was working  to phase out the Vacumatic after a very successful run of 13 or 14 years.  Newer designs were catching the publics eye.  Parker's 51 had been in production for 6 years and was an overwhelming success, the VS (Vacumatic Successor?)  was into its second (and last)  year of production with the 21 just over the horizon.   You don't see many Vacumatics with the 1947 date code, and the model was discontinued in 1948.   This pen is exceptionally clean.  No brassing on the clip or cap band, nice transparency to the barrel, no marks on the barrel or cap.  The nib is a smooth fine.  The darker rings in the cap are just that the celluloid in that area did not have the lighter color, not staining of the celluloid.  It's not uncommon to see an area running the length of the pen, less common to go around the pen, but you do see it on occasion.

Pen #2490             Parker Vacumatic Jr       $147
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal::  extra fine	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler: vacumatic
Point: fine -  with spring - see notes	Imprint:   extra fine        4th quarter 1946	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:   When this pen was made, the GIs were home, and for most of the country the war was over, though it still had a way to go  before it was officially declared to be over.  Parker was getting ready to phase out the Vacumatic line, and the 51 was the premier pen.  This a nice clean vacumatic with a clean pump and a nice imprint.  There is some transparency to the pen.  The nib is interesting.  Not what I could call a flex nib, but neither is it the very firm nib more typical of a Vacumatic. You can get it to flex some to give you a wider line width - just don't expect anything near a wet noodle

Pen #2489             Double Jewel  Vacumatic Major     $237
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal::  extra fine	Material: celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  replated tassie	Filler: vacumatic
Point: fine	Imprint:  fine        4th quarter 1941	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:   This double jewel Vacumatic was made in the 4th quarter of 1941, just as Parker was getting ready to phase out the double jewel pens.  The tassie is pressed on, so the blind cap has a "faux" jewel,  or bulleseye jewel.  Later vacumatics used a removable jewel to hold the tassie in place.  The imprint is somewhat worn, but readable.  The nib is a nice, smooth fine.  No brassing or dents on the clip or cap band.   The filler is a clean (and correct) Speedline filler.    Fully restored

Pen #2521        Oversize Parker Vacumatic        $397
Overall Grade:  extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material:  celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see comments	Filler: vacumatic
Point: broad	Imprint:  worn but readable                   2nd quarter 1935	Size:  5.3"
COMMENTS:  The Oversize (OS) Parker Vacumatic was the largest of the first generation Vacumatics from the 1930s.  It  has the largest pump, the largest ink capacity, largest nib.  In short a big pen, comparable in size to the streamlined Duofold Sr.   This pen also has a big hunk of iridium on the nib - may have been retipped, though that is only a guess.  If a broad nib is too much for you, the nib can be ground to a stub or italic for an additional fee.    The pen has a very clean chrome plated lockdown filler, the pen was  just restored too.  Striped jewel on the cap top, black jewel on the blind cap.  I have repaired a small cap crack, but if you know my work you know that it isreally  hard to find.  No brassing on cap bands, clip or tassie.

Pen #2519        Montblanc 234 1/2         $497
Overall Grade: extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Material:  celluloid
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:	Filler:  piston
Point: med stub steel 4 1/2	Imprint:   excellent	Size:  5.0"
COMMENTS:   This is a WWII era Montblanc 234 1/2 .  Quite the contrast to the pens made in the USA in the same time period.  The pen is celluloid, but bandless, with a stamped ring in both the barrel and blind cap. The filler is marked D.P.R. with a serial number following.    Because of the shortage of gold in Germany in the era, the common nib was a  4 1/2 steel nib.   The pen is marked BB, but I would describe this nib as more of a slightly left oblique medium.  No cracks,  chips or tooth marks, the star on top is intact.  The pen has been restored with the proper cork material.   A gold extra fine 4 1/2  nib is available and can be installed for an additional $50.

Pen #2529          Parker 75  Flighter    #98  BROAD ITALIC  nib      $197
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: stainless steel
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler:  cartridge/converter               converter included
Point: #98 broad italic	Imprint:	Size:  5.1"
COMMENTS:   This is a very clean Parker 75 Flighter.  The pen is USA made with a triangular seciton, and thin feed nib nib unit, with crisp frosting on the cap and barrel.  The long inner cap has been replaced with a short inner cap and metal clutch fingers meaning that the cap closes properly, and shouldn't wear out as the long inner cap with the integral clutch does.  Then there's the nib.  Spectacular is the word.  This is the first #98 nib I've ever seen.    Lee Chait's website describes the 98 as "Heavy extra broad italic.  With a flat and broad edged point, this nib was especially designed for italic writing with contact to the paper typically at an angle of 45 degrees."    The crisp feel has been softened a bit, but it is still an italic with a very broad nib.   No dents or dings, or wear to the clip.

Pen #2515        Sheaffer Balance II nib with pen attached      $167
Overall Grade:  excellent	Metal:  excellent	Material: plastic
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  see comments	Filler: cartridge/converter               converter included
Point:  medium 14K	Imprint:	Size:  5.65"
COMMENTS:   OK, so the description is a bit tongue in cheek,  but  the nibs by themselves list for $155 and they're not making any more, and the rollerballs I've had,  have sold for $35.  The nib in the pen is a nice, smooth medium - a solid 0.6mm line.  A little wide for my tastes, but it is a nice writing pen.

Pen #2506         Parker Thuya Laque 75 set      $177
Overall Grade:  mint	Metal:  excellent	Material: lacquer over brass
Nib condition:  excellent	Flaws:  none	Filler:  cartridge/converter               converter included
Point:  18K fine	Imprint:	Size:  5.4"
COMMENTS:   This is a mint Thuya Lacque Parker 75 pen and ballpoint set, both made in France,  dating from 1981-1990.   The nib 18K is marked France, and has the "fat feed."  The cap of course has the longer plastic inner cap, and closes tightly.  The converter is an earlier metal converter with a PVC sac installed.    The lines in the ballpoint are a bit darker than the fountain pen.

Pen #2409           WASP  Addipoint            $87
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.
