Huge 37-pen sale including some great vintage flex nibs! Includes great examples of Waterman’s, Parker, Sheaffer, Esterbrook, and Wahl. I accept payment by paypal. Domestic shipping, at buyer’s choice, either first class for $5 or priority for $7. I combine shipping- domestic shipping rates are the same for any number of pens. For international shipping, please contact me with your location and I will give you a shipping quote. However, I will only ship internationally to countries where I can get tracking with delivery confirmation. International combined shipping rates will be dependent on the weight and value of the package. Below, please see the pictures of the pens, scans of writing samples, and descriptions of the pens with prices. I am open to offers on multiple pen purchases. Note, the pens may have residual ink from the writing sample and might require flushing prior to use. Also note, the writing samples below for flexible pens do not necessarily show the full range of flex. When I am selling flexible pens, I am very conservative and risk averse; a user can likely push these nibs a bit farther. Contact me by email at jdweiss427@gmail.com
