Co6
buyimage
$220 Conklin Black and Pearl Ensemble Combo
Conklin made some beautiful combination pen and pencil ensembles. This one in black and pearl has the typical discoloration of the barrel - the photo makes that clear, in fact, overstates the difference. The gold Toledo nib is a Fine with slight flex. Pen and pencil are both working, but the pen doesn't have lead. I might be able to find some if you need it.



Co7
buyimage
$85 Conklin Glider
Conklin Glider, 1940s pen in blue stripes. These were made in the troubled days of original Conklin pen company, and are generally agreed to be of lesser quality than the pens from pre-1940. This one is in nice and working condition - still has an even gold wash on the band, clean silver metal color clip, and lever that once had a gold wash but is now an even silver metal. It has a fine iridium nib.

Excellent Conklin Endura vest pocket pen in Woodgrain pattern. This little guy is 4 1/4" long capped, just right for smaller shirt pockets. The Conklin inscription is worn but readable, the metal is not brassed at all, and the fine nib is a Conklin Toledo.



Delta

De1
buyimage
$220 Delta Dolcevita Mini
This is a really sweet small Delta that is exactly like the full-sized Dolce Vita with the incredible orange barrel and sterling trim, except that it is reduced in size from top to bottom! The pen is 10cm capped. It is in perfect condition. It has a fine nib, very smooth, and it takes international cartridges. I do not have a converter for this little guy. Has been used but is as new. Comes with boxes and papers.



Omas

Om2
buyimage
$100 Omas Demonstrator Piston /SOLD
Lovely Omas piston fill with a clear barrel, black cap, and gold-filled greek key trim. The nib says "Omas M" (medium) - metal is not identified but it is either gold or gold-filled. Clear barrel is in good condition, a slight yellow tinge but very clear. Interesting pen! (Note: Someone suggested that the cap lip was once longer, but has been ground down a bit to remove a flaw. I do not know if this is the case, but I'm disclosing that possibility.)

$325 Parker Vacumatic Silver Set
This is a silver vacumatic set, with blue diamond clip, long major, 1938, with strips on the cap and barrel tassies. It writes nicely with an XF nib. Some transparency and exceptionally clean set. It is in excellent+ condition - I see no flaws. The nib is too fine for me or this would not be for sale.

Parker
$195
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.



P4
$195 Parker 75 Milleraies
One of the most subtly elegant patterns Parker made for the 75. The fountain pen, made in France, shows very light wear around the dish tassies, so it should be called excellent. It has a French 14K nib in medium and the hash marked metal section ring. Cartridge converter.

The figure of the Moon Goddess in clouds is depicted in raised gold against a matte black background on cap and barrel. It has a wonderful three-dimensional feel. This is a very large pen, not for the faint fingered! Comes with a booklet, a classy black lacquer makie box with a gold moon on the top, and an outer box.

Lovely black oversize balance with a firm fine nib. Excellent+ condition overall. The Sheaffer Lifetime nib has 6720056 on it. I see a light scratch on the end of the barrel that could be polished out. The end of the clip and the band have a touch of worn plating, but it isn't even worn through the exterior plating. Great pen that photo doesn't flatter!

This Sheaffer Imperial has a black barrel and a two-toned metal cap, silver with gold clip and trim. The pen is in excellent condition. Cartridge - converter, but converter is not included. The medium nib has a bump in it just above the tip, but it writes nicely so I haven't worked on that.

I was able to locate the following: George H. Norton was President of ASMI (American Public Works Association) in 1920! This gorgeous and interesting pen has one small crease (less than 1/4" long, not even enough to be a scratch) and the BHR is little brown, particularly the section. Lovely flexible nib Waterman Ideal nib in a fine oblique (left foot)!

Other Makers

Ot1A
buyimage
$1850
Offered for sale is #25 of 75 of the Agelier Simoni Rainbow pen. This is an unusual pen, truly beautiful and functional in vibrant multi-colored demonstrator. The filling mechanism is a combination of piston filler with a clear silicone sac, so you can see the ink while the barrel remains pristine. I have filled this one once, which left a bit of ink showing in the section on the nib side where the ink fed to the nib. That is the only sign of use and I've shown it in a photo. At the end of the section are tiny metal points that depress when the cap is fully screwed on, which activates a shut-off valve preventing drying out or leaking. The medium nib is 18K white gold. Atelier Simoni shows a limited edition of 75 of these, but not all of them were made (as I recall there was a motorcycle accident that halted production). The MSRP was $2600. By the way, the Italian company, Atelier Simoni, comprises the daughter of Armando Simoni, who founded Omas, and her son. They make gorgeous high end pens.
