Found some pens at a local "antique" shop today. Not the greatest deal, but decent to my inexperienced eye.

 

Four fountain pens:

Wearever lever filler

Wearever cartridge pen

Eberhard Faber lever filler

Shaeffer cartridge pen (in taupe, much bigger than a school pen)

 

Three ballpoints/mechanical pens:

Shaeffer mechanical pencil (working), local Walton business name on it (business long gone)

Bell Telephone mechanical pencil

Old ballpoint with metal refill, with local business advertising on it (business long gone).

 

The last was the most expensive at $5.

 

Total $20.

 

I guess because I uploaded nice pictures of my Edison Beaumont, I'm not allowed to upload more pictures directly into the post. So here are the links.

Those are nice finds, congratulations!

The Bell Telephone pencil is in fact a Cross Century, they have a lifetime warranty, and it's probably worth at least the 20 that you spent :)

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
