Is Any Of These Sheaffers An Incredible Bargain At $30 - $40?

[alexwi]

Hi,

A friend of mine, from overseas, sometimes visits flea markets and he knows that I'm into pens.

He sent me this photo of a tray and I'm wondering if there's anything there, assuming that they're all fountain pens, that, based only on this really bad image, would be an incredible bargain at that price.

If you suggest anything, please indicate the number and what it is (all I know is that most are Sheaffers and I know practically nothing about the brand and its models).

Thanks!

I like touchdowns and would jump on 17 and 18. 19 is a Targa, might also be a good choice. 10 and 11 are Parker 45's, worth $30. 12 is a Parker 61, which I like but some aren't as enamored with.

 

I get lost with a lot of Sheaffer models, so I can't speak to 13 thru 16 and 35 thru 39.

Images are too small to really make out details -- and seeing the nibs would help... #14 looks a bit like a 727 or 777 (cf: http://www.sheaffertarga.com/Imperial%20and%20Triumph/Imp%20Triumph%20Ref%20List.html ) 15&16 may be similar (if that black ring just means the cap isn't all the way down).

32 is actually two pwns, a Parker Arrow and a Cross Ballpoint, 34 also two pencils, both Sheaffer but one could be those engraved sterling silver ones, 36 is Sheaffer prelude, 38 & s9 Sheaffer Lady.

 

All the best

Thank you all!!!

Looking closer -- I'd think 34 has a pencil underneath, but the top looks like a ball point (there appears to be a cut-out under the bulge of the clip -- didn't Sheaffer have a series of ball points where one pressed the clip into the barrel to extend the point?)

A "Reminder Clip" ballpoint. My dad had one in the '60s.
