The black pen at left is the charming "stubby" (full girth but short). The fuchsia pen is a long slender and the black pen in foreground is a short slender.
Anything catch the eye?

Between ebay and the Washington DC Pen Show August 2012, I added the following three 1930's Sheaffer Balance pens to my collection

That indeed is part of it. Now, if you were spending a few tens of dollars at the PCA and thus receiving PENnant Magazine, instead of just buying pens here n' there, you'd know even more
Still, there is a bit more to the pens and more we can expand on the theme...

Well, sometimes i splurge on a book or two 
I think you posted a Sheaffer reply a while back showing off some Sheaffers, of course this has to be experimental, non-cataloged right?

Along with the nice cap bands, your black pens appear inverted. (let's let the young one ponder this for a moment before spilling the beans)
You are the best, i know you've been told, just wanted to reassure you. I have no clue on the black one, on the left, unless your talking the bottom black one, which would be what i believe to possibly be an early Sheaffer, since it would be a white dot, but it's a tad too early.
