Last week I was in the Chicago Pen Show and I had the pleasure to meet very nice persons. With my friend Jean-Elie (Penandco), we bought some beautiful pens, most of them in great condition and several hard to find. We will sell some of those pens on our websites, but we also found some pens for our own collection. Below, I post the pens I bought for my modest collection. Enjoy it!! Thanks, SanchezAlamo Pens / Penandco

The first pen is a rather unusual Autofiller Pen from 1910. This is a sterling silver filigree pen over black hard rubber. The pen has a great Broad 14k nib.






My second pen is a Chilton Boston full size, red top and bottom in black line chased hard rubber, mint condition (although dipped) with original price sticker from 1925.



My third pen is Leboeuf in grey pearl celluloid,#6 Leboeuf nib, thumb filler, from 1929. The condition of the pen and the color are superb.



My fourth is a huge Carter 9117 oversize fountain pen, in jade green Coralite, circa 1928. Hard to find this kind of pen in so good condition, without discoloration.



The last item I bought in Chicago is not a pen, it is a phothography, an original photo of a LeBoeuf display from 1931. The pen is a LeBoeuf #6 Pilgrim that I bought last year.

I wonder what filling system is the first one? Initially I thought it was button filler, but it obviously isn't.
