P1	$275	Parker 75 Écorce Fountain Pen (BALLPOINT SOLD). This less common 75 has a striking pattern with nice depth. In excellent condition with minor flaws: The fountain pen has some brassing around the tassies on each end. The nib is a 14K USA #67, which is a broad. Metal section ring with hash marks; Dish tassies. I can offer other nibs, if you prefer. Cartridge converter.
P2	Parker $160	Parker 180 Écorce pattern. Parker 180 Écorce pattern in near-mint condition. The nib is a B/F, or a broad on one side and a fine on the other side. Nice writer and lovely collectible pen. Cartridge converter.
P3	Parker $235	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	$180	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.
P5	$400	Parker Golden Web Vacumatic One of the classics in the Parker vintage line, the golden web pattern. Only comes in junior size, but this is the larger version (wider). Aluminum speedline filler and a fine gold and golden arrow nib. Very nice example, excellent plus.
P6	$199	Parker Premier Sterling Crosshatch French-made Parker Premier, in the Parker 75 family in that it shares sections and nibs. This one is the classic - the Sterling crosshatch - in excellent plus condition. The French #66 nib is a medium width. Cartridge converter.
P7	$595	Parker 51 with Kulloch snake overlay This Parker 51 squeeze filler has a full overlay, brass I believe, made by Arial Kulloch. It's a very cool snake pattern with black jewels in the snakes' eyes (one on cap and one on barrel). Perfect condition. Writes nicely with a fine line.
P8	$290	Parker 51 Kulloch custom cap Parker 51 in shorter length (about 5 1/4" capped) with an Arial Kulloch hammered gold-filled cap. Vac filler with plastic plunger and fine nib. Excellent+

Pelikan
Pe1	$225	Pelikan Rappen (top pen in photo below) This Pelikan Rappen is all original and ready to write. Even the sac for the bulb filler appears to be original - and still working! It has a rarer 14K Rappen nib with some flex - between fine and medium. Sharp imprint (horse). Excellent example of this vintage pen! Excellent plus. Top pen in this photo:
Pe2	$225	Pelikan IBIS (bottom pen in photo above) This Pelikan IBIS appears to be all original and has a rare 14K IBIS nib with a little flex in medium. Piston fill. The only flaw I see is some plating loss at the top of the clip. Excellent condition. See the bottom pen in the photo above.
Pe3	$185	Pelikan 100N (top pen in photo below) This is a vintage Pelikan 100N whose original binde has been replaced with a new tortoise binde. The workmanship is perfect and the pen is quite striking. It writes nicely with a 14K flexible medium nib.
Pe4	$195	Pelikan 100 (middle pen in photo above) This is a very early Pelikan 100 in all black hard rubber. It has a bit of brown on the cap top around the Pelikan birds, but is black other than that. Nice example of an early pen!
Pe5	$175	Pelikan 100 (bottom pen in photo) A nice example of the typical Pelikan 100 with blue-green marbled binde. The 14K nib is a medium width with a bit of flex. Imprint is a bit worn, but other than that I see no flaws. Excellent+ Back to the top

S1	Sheaffer $395	Sheaffer Jade Balance Oversize Lovely Jade oversized Sheaffer Balance. Color is outstanding, but not perfect in that the barrel is very slightly darker than the cap. The color difference is exaggerated in the photo - looks even better than the photo. No brassing. Sheaffer Lifetime fine nib. Exquisite pen!
S2	$175	Sheaffer Pen for Men I Black Sheaffer PFM I, with the steel trim on the cap and Palladium nib. This is the first PFM model and the one without the white dot. This one had a shallow engraving that has been removed. I can't even see where it was, but want to report what I know about the pen. No other cosmetic issues. It writes a smooth line that is either a generous fine or a small medium.
S3	$125	Sheaffer Imperial Lifetime 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.
S4	$65	Sheaffer Skripsert Flammé Mint stickered Sheaffer Scripsert in a pattern that I've been told was not in regular production in the USA, but that is not confirmed. The stickers say "L. Sheaffer 923" and "£9.50." Comes with a Sheaffer converter, which is hard enough to find on its own.
S5	$240	Sheaffer Snorkel Mandarin Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman in great working condition in a sought-after color: Mandarin, which is a soft orange. Excellent condition with a nicely done small gold inscription. GF clip and 3/8" band. The Palladium nib is a fine (F4).
S7	Sheaffer $145	Sheaffer Small Ringtop This pen is a GF Sheaffer Ringtop that is only 3.25" capped. Works well with a F nib, Sheaffer #2, that has a bit of tooth, but pleasant to use. "GM" is subtlety engraved in the indicia. Very clean pen otherwise, excellent plus to near mint. No brassing or wear to the Chevron pattern.
S8	$95	Sheaffer Targa BP The Sheaffer ballpoint is a slim Targa in the desirable black twist pattern. No problems at all: excellent-plus condition.
S8	$250	Sheaffer Triumph Autograph Set Lovely Sheaffer autograph set with 14K gold trim (clip and bands marked). There is no name engraved in the autograph section of the band. Writes with a fine nib. The pencil works and the set comes with the box. I see no flaws at all in this set.
S9	$350	Sheaffer GF Snorkel Set Near mint and very crisp gold-filled Snorkel fountain pen and pencil. I see no flaws at all, and everything works perfectly! Gorgeous set!

Signum

Si1	$175	Signum Solare Piccolo Signum Solare Piccolo small but substantial pen (4 3/8" capped) in golden color with a free black barrel for a different look. Very convenient pen for shorter pockets! Writes beautifully, as Signums always do. The nib is a size fine.
Si2	$245	Signum De Divina Proportione (DDP) Sterling Silver and Turquoise These writeable works of art are both beautiful and wonderful writers. Large pens, 6" capped, well-balanced for writing with a smooth 18K white gold fine nib. The sterling clips reflect ancient Greek architectural column styles. This one is Ionic.

We1	$135	Eversharp Skyline Green/Gold One of the most beautiful Skylines, in dark green with a cap in green and gold stripes. The fine to X-fine 14K correct nib writes smoothly. I see no cosmetic problems, lovely pen!
We2	$110/ SOLD	Eversharp Skyline Navy /SOLD An Eversharp Skyline with a flex nib! This pen is in beautiful cosmetic condition with the golf-filled cap in the linear pattern. No brassing. The pen writes smoothly with a medium nib that has some nice flex. Excellent plus condition.
We3	$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.
We4	$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!
Wa5	$320	Wahl Oversized set Wahl Oversized black and pearl set with magnificent color! Large gold Wahl-Eversharp Gold Seal nib in size fine. Pencil and pen both in excellent working condition. The barrel of the pen does have a stabilized separation in the pearl material. You can see it in the photo as a more or less vertical line in the pearl area just below the cap edge. Doesn't detract from the beauty of this set!

Wa2	Waterman $500 set	Waterman 0552 Filigree set Goldfilled Filigree Set, excellent+, F flex nib. The only flaw I can find on this set is a spot of brassing on the edge of the barrel end of the pen and pencil. The pencil clip ball also has a spot of brassing. This is the less common large sized pencil. Gorgeous set!
Wa3	Waterman $500 set	Waterman Pansy Panel 0552 set The Pansy Panel Waterman is among the classic pens. This set has the rarer large pencil. The nib is smooth and relatively stiff with a meduim line. A bit of brassing on the edge of the cap and pencil, a spot on the pen clip ball, and a bit on the pencil cone, but the engraved part of the set is perfect!
Wa4	Waterman $900 on hold-inquire	Waterman 554 Smooth Gold Lovely 14K solid rose gold Waterman 554 (fully hallmarked) lever fill with the smooth finish, no pattern. The pen has a name nicely inscribed on the indicia in small caps: Geo. Norton Pres. A.S.M.I. 1920 New Orleans 11.12.19 I was able to locate the following: Goerge 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)!
Wa5	Waterman $798	Waterman 554 Smooth Yellow/Green Gold Solid smooth yellow-green gold Waterman 554, fully hallmarked. The pen is a lever fill, with a Waterman Ideal fine (generous) firm nib. Indicia has lovely script engraving "Samuel Chalfin." The BHR is nice and black. The barrel end does have a small gouge visible in the photo. I see NO dents, dings, or scratches in the gold. Perfect and gorgeous.
Wa6	Waterman $190	Waterman 0552 1/2V Lovely GF Filigree Waterman ringtop, quite small (3.5" capped). The only flaw is a tiny rim of brassing around the cap top; the indicia is engraved (BTA in block letters); other than these, the pen is flawless. It has a flexible fine Waterman nib and is a nice writer.
Wa7	$30	Waterman Kulture, modified nib This is the Waterman Kulture in Blue Royal Shimmer with a 9mm italic nib, customized at Pendemonium. Filled once with blue ink. Near-mint.

I'm keeping my RHR Corsini! This one for sale is a large pen, 5 7/8" capped, with excellent balance in the hand. The top of the barrel has threads so that the cap can be screwed on if you post, but I used it without posting. It has a wonderful semi-flex Conklin #7 vintage nib, which writes a fine line. Perfect condition, has been filled, so near-mint.
O2	$725 $675	Danitrio Maki-e Butterflies This is a large magnificent Danitrio by a budding young Japanese artist (3rd generation) Hironobu Okazaki.

O4	$28	Guider clear eyedropper This mint pen will hold a lot of ink! Gold-toned steel fine nib made in India. The body is made of acrylic (not glass) and the inside of the pen is not highly polished. It looks like it has been sanded in a circular pattern to smooth out the inside.

Using a loup, I see a small ring of brassing around the end of the cone, but other than that it is in great condition. It propels lead by turning the large "knob" on the end. It does have some lead in it, but not much. Enough to know what you need to fill it again. I might have some lead for it.
