Pen is a senior-size (not oversize) lifetime white-dot vacuum filler with a correct 2-tone lifetime nib. Vacuum-filler has been professionally restored by Nathan Tardiff about 2-3 years ago and is working perfectly. Nib is a smooth firm Fine. Very Good + condition with no cracks, no deep scratches, strong imprints, very good barrel clarity, and no brassing to trim. Barrel is polished and has only a couple of very light scratches.
Pencil is working and has correct trim arrangement for a match to the pen (they did not come to me together). Pencil is in good-very good condition with a few more light scratches on the barrel, and one notable deep scratch on the point-holder where it looks like someone took a pair of pliers or something to it.
Pen is 5 3/8" (136mm) long and 7/16" (10.5mm) wide at the widest point of the barrel. This is a really nice set - it got me several compliments from non-pen people when I used to carry it, and it writes like a dream.
Asking $95 for the set, including priority insured shipping in the USA and un-insured First Class International shipping outside the US. Insured international shipping is available at cost (usually another $15-20). I will not be responsible for un-insured international shipments once I hand them over to the post office.
Terms - first clear "I want it" pm or email gets it. Reasonable offers considered, but full-price offers get priority over other offers up until we finalize a deal. Paypal preferred but MO in US funds OK.
I am not actively soliciting trades at this time, but will always trade for Baird-North pens and might consider Charles Ingersoll (especially bakelite), Good Service, Diamond Medal, Webster, Tower, Trupoint and Sears brands. Also looking for an Eagle Shield nib and an ALCO nib.
Also please note that I am best at returning messages during the week. I sometimes get very limited time on-line during the weekend, so if I do not get back right away that is why. Be patient and I will get back to you!
