Hi All,

I'm trying to gauge interest in buying my incomplete set of Wahl Personal Point pens. These aren't the Deco Bands or "oversize" pens - I suppose you would call them the standard size, although they are large. I'd like to first see if there is any interest in buying them as a set, failing which I'll sell them individually on this board and at Columbus Ohio.

Sorry about the crappy photo.

We have:
1) Brazilian Green
2) A nice Jade Green, some discoloring, but not bad
3) An excellent lapis blue, quite bright.
4) Coral Red
5) Black and Pearl, excellent color. As good as you'll see on one of these
6) A particularly firey rosewood.
7) BCHR very sharp chasing
8) Black plastic
9) RCHR, ore-gold seal. The cap lip has been replaced, but it has an absolutely outrageous flexible stub nit. Chasing is sharp
10) Rosewood, pre-gold seal

Its incomplete - no Danish Red, no Flamingo, no RCHR gold seal, but its pretty close and the pens are in good shape.

Let me know if you have interest, and I'll do better pictures. If you want to trade, I want large, celluloid pens - Patricians, O/S Vacs, and Italian pens

Please join the Mabie Todd Swan project where I am trying to sort out the undocumented mess that is American Mabie Todd's from the 1930's. The last pens that MT seemed to advertise were the "Eternal" pens, and then the company put out a wide range of different styles, shapes, sizes and filling systems before eventually closing up shop. I invite you to post your pictures of your American pens

Hi Miker, for now I was testing the waters of selling the lot, but if (when) I decide to sell them off individually I'll keep you first for those two.

Oh, did I mention they are $2k a piece? Thanks! Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

Mike,

We communicated by email on this. Maybe we can stick to that for now.
