$179 Conklin Vintage Green Marble Combination Pen and Pencil
Conklin made several very attractive combination pens. This one is light and dark green with some black marble, very attractive! It has a name engraved in very neat letters: DEWEY. It has slight brassing around the end of the pencil cone and some on the GF clip. The correct nib would be a Conklin, of course, but this pen sports a more valuable nib, a nice Waterman keyhole in Fine. The pencil works and has a little lead in it.

$75 / SOLD Conklin short lever filler student pen /SOLD

Montblanc

MB1sale- deduct 20%
buyimage
$450 Montblanc Mozart, box and CD
This small pen (just under 4.5" long) is beautifully made with a vermeil barrel and trim and malachite cap. It has been used, so near-mint rather than mint. The cap posts - by screwing into the end of the barrel - so the pen becomes long enough to use comfortably. The 18K nib looks broad, but writes like a medium. The set includes box, papers, and a CD. Uses international cartridges. The box is 14 x 10.75 x 2.25 inches and almost 4 pounds, so it won't fit in the standard-sized USPS Priority Mail (domestic or international) boxes. Ask about shipping charges.

Parker 75 Ecossais
The gold-filled Parker 75 Ecossais has a narrow pattern that results in 11 sets on the cap from top to bottom. This is a French-made pen, but have the USA sections with silver metal numbered rings. It is very common to switch the sections rather than just the nibs, so this isn't unusual. I might be able to switch to French sections if it is important to a buyer. Metal section ring with hash marks; Dish tassies. The Ecossais is in excellent+ condition, with no flaws except a narrow rim of thinner plating around the barrel tassie edge. The nib is a 14K US nib #65 (fine). Cartridge converter.

$120 & $140 Wahl Greek Key GF #4 (two available)
From 1921 to 1929, Wahl made a number of uncommonly beautiful machine worked gold filled metal art deco pens. These pens are the #4 size, about 4 3/4" capped, one in yellow gold ($120) and one in rose gold ($140). I see no dings, dents, brassing or flaws other than *very* light wear marks where the caps have been posted. They are rated excellent +. The #4 nibs are both semi-flex and write a fine smooth line. The yellow gold pen does have nicely done initials in the indicia (JNC) and is therefore priced lower.

$295 Wahl GF Bells
The Wahl metal art deco pen called "bells" or "console" is one of the most coveted, and this is an excellent example. It also has a desirable red hard rubber mottled section. The pen has a semi-flexible F Eversharp nib. The only flaws I see are small rims of brassing around the edges or the cap top and barrel bottom. Lovely rare pen!

Doesn't detract from the beauty of this set!
