Here we go, and remember… THIRD-TIERS NEED LOVE, TOO!!!
(left to right):
1. No-name, with brass rotary-type perpetual calendar and black trumpet on nicely veined onyx base. Pen is black plastic with semi-brassed lever and band, nib (which looks like a M and has decent amount of flex) reads “14K made in USA.” Needs sac. Nice looking set! $21
2. Eversharp in red and black composition, with chrome pen rest and swivel. Black celluloid tulip trumpet with black-tailed green and black pearl celluloid pen that has nickel-plated bend and lever. Nib is an Iridium-tipped and looks like a M. Eversharp label and original 98-cent (!!) Macy price tag still on bottom. Needs sac. Super Deco design! $30

3. Don’t know exactly what this is, but it’s very nice. Beautiful unmarked maroon/cream/white swirled celluloid FP with a gold-plated ring/lever ring, black tail and, of all things, a steel Estie 2668 nib with some flex! Nib doesn’t unscrew. Black gold-ringed trumpet and green onyx base with a couple small chips. Needs sac. $25
4) Sheaffer white-dot snorkel set, white onyx base with decal largely intact, black trumpet/pen, GP band. Pen has two-tone 14K triumph F3 nib. Snorkel extends/retracts smoothly, but will need some TLC. Nice snork set! $25
5) Attractive no-name with black celluloid base and flared trumpet that could use a cleaning and has Deco-ish ridged edge and brass ball. Only marking is a label on the bottom (which looks to be blotting paper!) that indicated it originally came from Richter & Ernst’s in Vienna. Pen is black celluloid with a clear tail that’s lightly ambered and has a HBR section and Alloy Tipped M GP nib, as well as a GP lever. Needs sac. Actually a very cool-looking set! $25

6) SOLD Morriset dark green bakelite dip set. Extreme Deco style, original glass bottle present, cork bottom intact, with matching pen that has a GP Morriset M nib.In excellent shape overall. Extra Morriset XF nib included in original cardboard cylinder. $20
7) Carter’s cube-stand dip set. Later model in black plastic rather than rubber. Slight melt mark on back. With a Carter’s cube bottle that needs a washout and a green wood dip pen. Nice little desk piece. $10
8) Waterman C/F double desk set with a huge slab of beautifully-veined green onyx with a pen rest. GP trumpets and balls, pens are black plastic with the inlaid-style 14K nibs. Both look like Ms, and have none of the typical corrosion or flaking. Onyx has a few chips, but overall an incredible set! As you know, C/F desk sets are NOT common! $60

9) SOLD Esterbrook porcelain 8-ball desk set in lesser-seen dark green with a green clear-tail pen that has an Estie 2556 nib and needs a sac. $20
10) SOLD Esterbrook porcelain 8-ball desk set in even lesser-seen light green with a green pearl clear-tail pen that has an Estie 9668 nib and draws/expels water nicely. $22
11) Substantial Smith inkwell of heavy glass with BHR top and removable funnel. Marked “The Smith inkstand No. 3, order from Chas B. Smith, New York City.” Likely 19-teens. In very nice shape. Nice Morriset dip pen with heavy brass band included. Superb inkwell!! $25
12) SOLD Found another one, stolen from George Jetson’s desk! Parker Ultra-50s double desk set of black plastic with integral pen tray and adjustable “War of the Worlds” style holder with aluminum inserts. Holds two 45 desk pens with M steel nibs. Pens look almost new. Super piece!! $55

13) KILLER Deco chrome and black bakelite base with a “fin” that holds the pen. Felted bottom and black celluloid pen withnickel-plated band and lever, which has a “C” on the tab. GP nib marked with what looks like a sunrise in a diamond appears to me a wide M. Fin is a tad (just a tad) loose, but could almost certainly be tightened. Superb set! $30
14) Parker 45 set with black glass base, GP brass ball and plate (non magnetic). Pen has goldtone tail-tip and M GP nib and band. Nice!! $25
15) Sheaffer set with nicely veined white onyx base, Gp brass trumpet and black plastic cartridge pen with a steel inlaid dolphin nib that looks like a F. Very nice set. $23
