Recently I have buying A LOT of pens, my main collecting focus has shifted strictly to 51s, so here are a few pens I could live without. I'm sure someone would appreciate these in their collection more than I would.
Every pen will be listed as detailed as possible and to the best of my ability. If you have anymore questions, please just ask. You can contact me on here by PM or email me at: pjkovanda@yahoo.com.
Obviously, I can send more pictures of the pens to those interested. Just about every pen I sell is in working condition. I restore them myself before I will sell them. If I have not restored them chances are I just got the pen and haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.
I am located in the US and I ship USPS Small Flate Rate Box Priority Mail. If you buy more than 1 pen, there is no extra shipping charge. All the pens I sell are shipped inside 1/2" PVC, then inside a padded envelope and lastly in the Flat Rate box. A quick peak at the USPS website says the small Flat Rate is $5.95.
I accept PayPal for payment. Usually, I am open to trades, but at this time I am only looking to sell.
Prices are not set in stone, if I am WAY off on any price of a pen, just let me know!
On to the pens...
Descriptions are listed below, from left to right.
1. Sheaffer Self-Filling. Black hard rubber. Gold filled cap band, clip and lever. I don't see any brassing on any of the trim. Self-Filling #2 nib, 14k. Barrel and cap are free of any bite marks, gouges, cracks or personalizations. There is a scratch to the left of the clip and another above the clip, but they don't seem very deep. 5 1/4" long when capped. Pen has been cleaned and a new sac installed. $110
2. Sheaffer Touchdown TM Valiant. Black with gold filled clip and cap band. No brassing to any of the trim. 14K Triumph nib. This is a very clean pen with an almost flawless cap, barrel and blind cap. Pen has been cleaned with a new o-ring and sac installed. $80
3. Sheaffer Touchdown Craftsman. Black with gold filled clip and cap band. No brassing to any of the trim. 14k Feather Touch #5 nib. Another very clean pen, cap and barrel are excellent. Free of any cracks, chips, gouges, anything of that sort. Pen has been clean with a new o-ring and sac installed. $50
4-5. Sheaffer Compact Set. Cartridge filler and mechanical . Black with silver clip, cap band and nib. Didn't mess around with this set too much, pen is clean, some scratches on the cap (opposite side of clip). Only issue with the pen is the cap is wiggly once it is on. The cap fits the barrel tight, but has some play in it. I blame it on the clutch design. Later model without the ink window. $50
6. Esterbrook LJ. Icicle. Blue. This pen came to me with a new sac in it. 2668 nib. I cleaned the pen and the nib up a bit. Spoon style lever with U.S.A marking. Clip jewel/clip is a little loose on this one. $60
7. Esterbrook LJ.Icicle. Red. This pen also came to me with a new sac in it. 1550 nib. Same thing as the last Estie, I cleaned the pen and the nib up a bit. Spoon lever with no markings. Clip jewel is tight on this one, but the cap band spins. $60
8. Parker 45. Black with metal cap. Octanium nib. Cap does have marks from clip moving. Barrel and hood are very clean, hood has a little shrinkage by where to nib screws in. $30
*I do have some other sized Esterbrook nibs available. If you purchase an Estie and want a different nib, let me know!
