Well, it is me again, Greg Minuskin

Popped into an antique shop today and walked out 10 minutes later with a handful of pens for $43.00. I think the stripped Waterman's set is nice; has a nice keyhole extra fine flex nib. the others are nice too.

Would love to know what that grey stripped pen is; I have no idea! Any ideas?

That pen in the middle with the yellow bands at the ends is a Faber. Fine quality for a steel-nibbed pen of the era, great material.

Yep, an Eberhard Faber "Permapoint" model. I have several of them and they are nice-looking steel-nibbed vintage pens :)

Wow! That is a nice pen then, thank you! I thought the plastic was really nice.

Thanks!

And I'm still amazed at reading the title of this where you note spending only $43 for all of these pens. Amazing.

The price was actually $40.00 but I had to pay sales tax!
