Lucky flea market find for me; someone is looking out for me/knows I am good guy. Stumbled on this mint condition Sheaffer's Abalone oversized balance set!

One of my favorite pens.  Grab it while it's hot :)

 

Can I show some of my Ebonized Pearl Balance collection? I don't want to crowd your post.

I sure did grab it! It is a beauty! Never had one of these before, and in such great condition too.

 

Sure, share your Ebonized Pearl Balance collection; more I see, the more I learn/look out for.

Pen on left is the catalogued oversize White Dot. Everything else is... interesting.

I've seen very few Ebonized Pearl golf pencils. Not catalogued but found in a brochure.

Wow! Never seen those before, great colors too!
 

New contacts in the pen world are supplying me with some amazing pens so I hope to run into these pens sometime soon. Gotta a 400+ pen deal coming up, some rare early Esterbrook stuff too, Relief pens I think he said they are called.  I used to have a buddy who was into Esterbrooks, but not anymore.

Man oh man oh man oh man...just remarkable condition.  I still have to settle for writing with my Retro 51 abalone knock off, but one day...

Thanks Rick! What a find, and the condition is amazing!

 

Really great to know there is still good stuff out there.

 

I have been hooking up with some amazing people, real professionals in the antique business of late. They are honest, fair, and very business like.
