When I go to shows it is mostly to sell. I try to allow some time to visit with as many sellers as possible. Never know what might be there. I think if I had a few more hours many more would have followed me home. Shows are great places to learn much about the hobby. It was for me.

I have been interested in obtaining a nicer Danitrio for some time. Miki has two. My taste is simpler than hers. Kevin obliged with several semi-prototypes for sale. I was fortunate to obtain this beauty. It has several sterling plaques inlaid into the ebonite. The two big ones are the phoenix and dragon. I have a fondness for sterling, so this attracted me immediately.







Below are some others that found a place in my folder. From top to bottom.

Parker 51 made in Argentina. Thought is was interested to have one. Not very special. From a seller from Argentina, of course.
Pilot in bamboo pattern. 1975. Obtained in trade. Longed for one of these for several years. To my surprise, it appears to be silver plate.
Parker-Eversharp Made in Argentina. Like the styling and one can assemble a neat collection fairly inexpensively.
Penol Note the similarity of the clip on this and the Parker-Eversharp. Penol is a Danish firm that marketed Parkers on license. This must be their version of the fountain pen model.
Pilot A wee pair of stainless steel MP and BP set.





A few more.

Platinum hiramakie. Have seem quite a few with a black background. This is the first done over red. Looks 10,000 times better. Obtained in a trade. Nice BROAD nib too.
Two by Sailor. These pens came from two dealers. Always amazed at what turns up. Beautiful celluloid on each.

Very nice acquisitions. I absolutely love the color on that Sailor at the bottom of the last pic. Very nice!

Stan, you should be a very happy man. You certainly left that show with some very nice pens!

Nice, the Platinum is unbelievably beautiful and the Danitrio speaks for itself!

WOW!!! Gorgeous! You scored! I love all of them! I am so jealous...LOL. Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures.

Love the bamboo pilot. The other pens are great, and some beautiful, but this one just clicks with me for some reason. Nice haul.

beautiful pens Stan! I really like the pilot and the Danitrio, but the two Sailor celluloids are awesome. Enjoy them

I agree about the Sailors - wonderful additions!

I think you should send me the red Sailor though... my plain black ebonite Sailor is so lonely...

very nice purchases, Stan. I think you should be pleased with what you came home with. I hope you did as well selling
