Found some more pen goodies to post for sale, some I've had for a while & others just made it thru in a delayed care-package (delayed by the snow-laden mountain passes!). I'll be doing several posts, one or two tonight and hopefully a few more tomorrow, so let's get started...

3) THE RED DWARF INK PENCIL RHR Stylographic Pen w/Eyedropper & Box (~4" capped), Steel tubular Fine point w/flow regulating needle in it, interesting eyedropper filling system...has long BHR feed-tube attached from the bottom of the barrel to near the beginning of the cone shaped nose-piece & then has a needle with a spring-coil base attached to the top of the feed-tube (never seen one with a feed like this & without a free-moving needle, early design?), no visible imprints anywhere on the cap or barrel, but box does have name of the pen, owner's name seems to be "C. Russ" as he or she has written it on the inside of the box top as if testing it out (several times), minor wear & tear to cap & barrel but nose-piece does show some scuffing, cap doesn't post...either made that way or inner cap has worn down a bit, overall condition is "Excellent -"...

4) REMEX FP (sub-brand of Waterman/NY) in RMHR w/Cone-Cap (~5" capped), original Remex 14K nib broken so I've replaced it with a wonderful Waterman/NY #2 Fine to Medium "Flex" nib (perfect fit, I'll include the broken one too!), eyedropper filler, except for nib breaking, this pen shows almost no wear & tear at all & has gorgeous color & pattern (resemble a Wat. #12 ED filler in RMHR), overall condition is""Excellent"...

5) AUTOMATIC Nickel-Plated Squeeze-Filler FP, a very early model...Patent Date of 1878 on the cap-barrel (~4-5/8" capped), long cap slips off from over barrel which has a small rectangular cut-out exposing a thumb filler type of bladder (original "Pigskin" bladder partially intact!), has a 14K Edward Todd "Commercial" dip nib in place over a curved metal feed tube that rests on the underside if the nib, feed & nib have to have miniscule gap between nib underside & feed-tube opening otherwise it will leak, fairly minor wear & tear to finish especially after around 130 years since it was made, overall condition of this important early link in FP development is "Very Good +"...

6) W.S. HICKS & SONS 14CT 'Solid' Gold "Broker's PCL (~3" long), belonged to Jimmy Starr, the famous Hollywood Columinist from the 30's & 40's (came out of his Estate Sale in Phoenix on the 90's, also had a Sheaffer Masterpiece 14K FP/PCL set in pristine condition, but sold it!), twist advance/retract 5.6mm large lead mechanism, no clip, beautifully engraved: TO JUMMY FROM HARRY JIMMY STARR-HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.
