This year's Chicago Pen Show was... a good one. I came home with many appealing old fountain pens. Figured I'd share image of a tray full. As usual, I lean toward Parker and Sheaffer, but there is more in this bunch. Probably will have to post details later (must grab some sleep), but you probably can find, even with this limited image, a few... interesting items. Parker 51 Vac in Navy (not Dove) Gray. Couple solid gold Sheaffers, Balances with solid gold trim, including an "uber" Autograph with uncatalogued extra-wide band, near mint red hard rubber "medium" imprint Duofold. Burgundy Vac Maxima. etc.


More later. Maybe another tray to show too ;)

Well, yeah, i suppose they could be yours. The question is what you'd need to do to "have them" Posted Image

Actually the rare "super"-Autograph and one or two others are for my collection. But, the others...

I really must post that other tray...
