Before cross posting these I will offer them here. Each pen needs something done. SOme require only a re-sac and clean up. Others more drastic fixes. Priced accordingly. Paypal is preferred and required for international shipping. Shipping is a flat $5.65 for any quantity to US, $10.95 to Canada and Mexico and $12.95 anywhere else (gotta love USPS flat rate shipping!) Before proceeding - You can have the entire batch for a flat $250 + shipping, otherwise, individual prices apply. If someone buys an item the lot deal is off the table.

First up: SOLDWaterman 12 PSF. Excellent original, flexible nib. Model was clipless, but has an aftermarket clip. Needs a sac and is ready to write. $45.00SOLD

Half are now gone. So, one more.

Star Self-Filler with a fleexy Bonded 14K nib. Beautiful scrollwork on the clip. The lever (which engages the internal pressure bar with a slight lift and side motion) is totally brassed. Needs a sac to restore her to full writing capability, but the cool thing about this pen is the unique filling system and the nib, which looks like it can go from medium find to very broad. This is an interesting addition to a vintage collection of lesser known pens. $40.00
