1. Ancora Perla in blue, unused, 18k EF nib. Limited edition, #483/500, comes with (modest, but original) box and papers. This was an accidental duplicate acquisition. Cartridge/converter filler. $220



2. Pilot M90, limited edition re-issue of the Pilot MYU of the 70s, this pen has an integrated stainless steel nib, medium in width, and a blue jewel in the cap. It includes original box and papers, and also includes a squeeze converter for filling from a bottle. It can also use Pilot’s proprietary ink cartridges. This pen has been gently used, probably 3-4 converters/cartridges full. $175



3. The Sailor Aurora is a demonstrator version of the 1911, and this one is in green with a 14k Music nib. Lightly used, this one includes a converter but can also fill from a cartridge. Includes box and papers. $150



4. The Sailor Aurora is a demonstrator version of the 1911, and this one is in pink with a 14k Zoom nib. Lightly used, this one includes a converter but can also fill from a cartridge. Includes original box and papers. $150



5. Stipula pen with stones. Based somewhat on the Duetto body, there's only a gentle transition from section to body rather than the more defined lines on some pens. Cartridge/converter filler, no converter included. This isn't marked Stipula, but it's pretty clearly their pen; there is a small "Made in Italy" engraved on the body. This is probably a short-run prototype. Unmarked steel nib (not Stipula's), probably a medium. This pen has never been used, but no box. $90 $50



6. Conway Stewart Sapphire Dandy with 18k gold trim and 18k IF (italic fine) nib. Never been used. Cartridge/converter filler with converter and original box and papers. $300 $235



This is a gorgeous deep blue, similar to the blue on the Signum Orione.

8. Kiyoshi Kato celluloid pen. This fountain pen was handmade by a Japanese gentleman, Kiyoshi Kato. Kato-san passed away in 2009. It is true celluloid wrapped around (so there is a visible seam). It is a cartridge/converter pen but I don’t believe I have a converter for it, and it comes with its original box.

11. Danitrio Raw Ebonite Butterfly

Raw ebonite, inlaid with silver and filled with color and shells. One butterfly adorns the cap and three flowers grace the body. 18k M nib writes more like a slightly dry Western fine; cartridge/converter filler. $300



12. Marlen Dot Com in Pink

Smooth-operating piston filler, this one has an 18K B nib. It's a demonstrator, so you can see the ink level. $100

[shahrincamille]

What kind of nib is fitted on that multi-colored Kato? 14K or steel? Nib width?

I have one of these Katos (green marbled) fitted with a 14K nib, and it's truly a joy to hold and write with

[Deirdre]

14K Japanese Medium, so Western Fine-ish.

They are fun pens.

Just received my Danitrio Makie after such a long wait due to UK customs clearence. Basically they fleeced me out of 40 GBP tax.
The pen is certainly worth all that!! Awesome writer.
