I am trying to determine the value of my 1933 Duofold Sr. & Jr. burgundy/black set. I know condition is imperative to determining value, and without seeing them in person its very hard to guess. But it is possible to come up with a range for the set. Both pens are in Excellent - Fine condition, with minimal wear on the bodies, the clips show wear, but both bodies have a few light scratches, which could be buffed out, the nibs are in excellent condition with the following numbers; Sr. 0015152 and the Jr. 03403. Neither have had ink usage. See attached images. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance

I don't think they'll bring more than $20 apiece at auction, but I'll put a $50 bill in the mail to you right now to cover shipping!

 

Just let me know where to send it :D .

 

Beautiful set!

A good idea to look at ebay prices. I see right now the smaller of the two with an asking price of $500.00+

congrats on the catch :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Remember, when checking eBay prices, look for "sold listings". Those prices will give you a far more realistic idea of value, though you'll see a huge range.

      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
