)Here are two sets that I'm probably never going to use. I think mostly because I've not quite gotten my head around the concept of vintage pencils--well, unless they say Faber Castell 9000 on the side and are painted green.
The first is a black aerometric pen and pencil set. The pen and pencil are definite users. I even went ahead and replaced the eraser on the pencil, thinking I could definitely put this set to work. That never really happened though.
They could certainly spruce up well with a nice polishing, but it looks like they've been out and about within their lifetime (although probably not a lot.) The coolest part about this set is the box and the case. The outer box is a little bit stained but is not even close to falling apart.. The case inside is in fantastic condition as well. At most it looks like the pencil side made contact with the pencil once or twice. Sold Pending Payment
Here are a few pics and a writing sample:
The second set is very very very very cool. This one I've had for a little while, but I've really had no idea what I would wind up doing with it. The condition is a bit intimidating, so I wasn't sure if I was ever going to use it..
I think I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not ever going to use it. I could take more pictures if that would help, but the condition is very very nice. There are a few flecks of rhodium plating missing from the pen cap, and the pencil cap is pretty much in mint condition. The pen has a 2-tone clutch ring that looks great, a very deep imprint with a date code of 4 (no dots.) It had been restored and writes with a very smooth fine/medium nib. (I didn't include a writing sample, because I'm not so much in the habit of getting ink near this pen..
) The hardshell Parker "51" case isn't in the best state of affairs, but it seems to have done its job well. For this one,
