Hello all,

I offer the following pens for your purchasing pleasure. Why? Because I promised my wife I’d limit my collection to 10 pens (don’t ask) and these fine writing instruments didn’t make the cut.

I have tried to be as accurate as possible in my descriptions, but I am not an expert on fountain pens by any stretch of the imagination. I you have questions, please ask. I will do my best to satisfy your curiosity. In the event, that I grossly misrepresented the product, I will refund your money.

Standard FPN rules apply, but please, if you tell me you’re going to take a pen, then change your mind, just come clean. Don’t ignore my PMs. It hurts my feelings .

All pens are offered with shipping to Canada and CONUS included. Reasonable offers will be considered. Paypal only, w/ credit card is okay.

C/C pens come with converters.

Hope you see something you like.

Eben

1. Lamy Safari
Grey
Medium steel nib

C/C filler - this pen is in excellent condition with the exception of a couple very minor bite marks on the butt end.
$25

2. Lamy 1.5mm Italic nib
Steel
$7.5 if included with one of the other pens
$15 on its own


3. Lamy Studio
Black Matte
Medium steel nib

C/C filler - this pen comes with the box, but no papers. It is in generally good condition with no bite marks or dings. There is a small amount of pitting on the section where it meets the nib. You’ll only notice it when you’re cleaning the pen – that’s when I did. There is also a small amount of wear to the black finish on the cap where the clip rubs against the cap body.
$40

4. Levenger Verona SOLD
Blue marble
Fine 14k nib

C/C filler - I picked up this pen a little over a month ago here on FPN (original post). It is a beautiful pen and I love everything about it except that it's not quite fine enough for me. I hope someone here can give this pen the happy home it deserves. It goes from me to you with no profit taken. Original box and one blue ink cartridge included.
$65

5. Namiki 1970s model
Black
Extra-fine semi-flex 14k nib

C/C filler - this is a real find for the person who likes a lot of control over their line width. This pen has a very fine nib but can flex to make a nice broad stroke. I really thought I would like to do that when I bought this pen as new-old-stock. Turns out it’s not my thing. Maybe it’s yours.
$80

6. Parker Duofold (restored)
Blue/grey striped; perfect imprint
Fine or Extra-fine 14k nib with a little bit of flex

Vac-filler - this is definitely the gem of the lot. I don’t know the exact model or year, but it is a beauty. When I got this pen, it appeared to have been filled once then left in a drawer for about 40 years. Once my pen guy cleaned out and refitted the innards, it became the sweet writing instrument you see today. There are no defects on this pen. It’s about as flawless as an old pen can be. It just isn’t one of my ‘desert island pens’ or it wouldn’t be going anywhere.
$125

7. Parker Duofold Jr. (restored)
Jade green color; usual discoloration of barrel, cap has nice color; good imprint
Medium 14K nib, some flex, smooth wet writer

Button filler - no marks, chips, or cracks; a few small dings and other than surface-wear expected in an older pen
$45

8. Monteverde Mini-Jewelria
Lovely copper/brown and green striation against a black background
Medium steel nib, cartridge-only (international)

Cartridge-only (international) - No marks, dings, chips, or cracks. Original box included.
Has seen a moderate amount of use over two years. Writes quite nicely
$35

Levenger verona - Pm sent

Lamy Safari SOLD

I don't get it -- 7 pens in the picture, 8 pens listed. Am I correct in understanding that the pen described as number 3 is not pictured?

No.2 is a nib. Look closely.

Oh OK it's starting to make sense now ... thanks for the help.


OK then, may I ask, is the striped Duofold a double-jewel or single? Blue dot or not? I think I see no blue dot and (if I remember correctly) there's something about striped Duofolds and blue dots that sticks in my head as prohibitive. Clarifications?

Single black jewel on the cap. No jewel on the blind cap.

No blue dot that I can recall. I don't have the pen in front of me right now, but I think I would remember a blue dot.

Also, because it was previously asked in a PM, the length of the pen is 5 1/8" capped.

Eben

I've asked for the Namiki, keep your fingers crossed for me.

Mini-Jewelria ON HOLD

Restored Duofold is still available. I'm amazed that no-one has taken a shot at it yet. It was the gem of this lot of pens.

Is the price that unreasonable?
