I'm culling a good chunk from my collection this spring. Here are some more nice pens. There are some really nice nibs in here too.

 

All pens have been used but are in excellent+ to NM condition, and all have box and papers unless otherwise noted.

 

First email gets them, payment by Paypal or MO. Prices include insured USPS Priority Mail anywhere in the US. Overseas shipping at cost.

 

Feel free to email with any inquiries.

 

Sorry as always for the lousy pictures.

To answer a question I received via PM, the Aurora is a left oblique, like the Pelikan, so suited for use by right-handers...

What a great selection. The Aurora is so tempting.

 

Yeah it's a nice writer, too! Doesn't have too much of an angle, but gives a little variety to the line. Typically Aurora firm but smooth....

 

But of this lot it's the CP8 that's the best writer. The stub on that one is just a dream....

 

best,

Doug

That CP8 is a stunning looking pen my friend

I received a couple of questions today, which I figured I'd post answers to here- these probably should have been in the item descriptions....

 

#5. The CP8 is #41 of 250 pieces.

 

#6. The Delta Lugdunum comes with the original box which does include a bottle of ink and an eyedropper for filling.

 

Thanks!

Doug

The Optima is going for a good price! The nib is not my cup of tea though.

 

I hope the sale goes well Doug! :thumbup:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
