I have the Levenger Seas fountain pens in yellow and blue that I bought new several years ago. Knowing what I know now, I would have bought every color. So, my question is this, "How come I hardly ever see one of the Levenger Seas pens for sale on the FPN?"

I sold a green one with a lovely broad stub nib, just last week!

I found the Levenger "Seas" FP's to be a remarkable value when they were current production. I got several, and I would not consider parting with any of them any time soon. Perhaps others feel as strongly as I do and just do not sell them?

Do you have any other Seas pens for sale?

 

Sorry, no.

I sold four of them a few months ago that I had picked up on a good deal. The Levenger Sea was my first gold nibbed FP. I bought one brand new when they first came out and wrote with it for about 5-6yrs. I only sold it because I started getting attracted to Sheaffer vintage pens. Pound for pound, I consider the Sea to be an all around fantastic pen. I'm not a big CC-filler type guy, but I have to say that Sheaffer has one of the best one's out there (IMO).

 

If I ever find one again at the deal I got the other four for, I won't be selling it. :)

I used to have a collection of 100 or so pens, mostly vintage Sheaffers, that I sold when my son started college (ah, the sacrifices we parents make). Shortly before selling them my wife gave me a Legenger/Sheaffer Seas green. That's been my daily use pen for about 6 years now and I love it. I just joined this forum and didn't realize they were particularly valuable. Just to satisfy my curiosity how much do they go for these days? Thanks.

Going rate for excellent condition with box is probably $100-$150 except for the Tasman Turquoise which is very hard to find and can go much higher.

In opaque plastic? That one is the Connaisseur (sp?) -- the line that the Seas pens were based on.

It's only an addiction if you try to stop.

I have a grey (gray on your side of the Atlantic) one with a fine nib that is a daily user and I love it.

Like all Sheaffer nibs, it's so smooth - definitely the equal of Sailor nibs (although they might just edge it on ink flow).

 

I have an orange one somewhere, never used, that I'll stick on ebay at some stage.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
