As many can empathize I must send the IRS a few more of my hard earned dollars.
So nice to read today how Federal Government Employess have been using OUR tax dollars to finance internet romance searches among other frivolous expenditures.
Here's the list of pens. These will be exceptionally well priced.
1. Parker Big Red DuoFold 1928 w/ Arrow Nib A very clean Pen. No cracks chips or bruises. The cap top is discolored imprint is 1/2 faded
2. Parker Black & Pearl DuoFold 1929 w/ Duofold Nib missing bottom cap band Obvious normal discoloring Cap Top has flea bites Button cap has some as well
3. Parker Depression Pen Beyond the obvious color issue Pen is in very nice condition
4. I'm sorry I just can't let this one go. Sorry to mislead anyone.
5. Waterman's 94 Black with a RED Nib Typical medium nib with good amount of flex Some minor scratches. I'm not one to buff a pen totally out. I feel certain that they can be readily removed.
6. Mabie Todd Celluloid with a HUGE #4 Nib gorgeous color Nearly a Manifold nib. Tiny flea bites on cap. Pen is personalized to C.E. Berrett
7. Mabie Todd Gold Filled Over Lay with another super nice Flex Nib 2 tiny spots of brassingabove clip and where cap posted to barrel #2 M&T Co. nib I have a heavy hand and get definte line variation without adding any of my 235lbs to the pen

Having been on the short end of the "just missed that sale stick" I'll post these pictures w/prices tonight at 5:30PM Eastern US time.
Is that a fair time for all?

Hey, at least they're not sleeping. "The Internet, keeping US Government Employees awake since Al Gore invented it in 1993". Actually, it's a shame and a crime to have to sell beloved pens to pay taxes.

Looking forward to the pictures.

You could always just wait to pay and have it taken out of your economic stimulus payout. No reason to liquidate your pen collection now only to have a windfall in a month.

While the advice is taken to heart. My current standing (read delinquent) with the IRS will preclude me receiving Mr. Bush's Bribe.
