Tonight, a Gray Pearl Sheaffer oversized Balance arrived in the mail. 1930s celluloid. The pen on the right in attached photo. It enabled me to shoot this rather special cluster. Might be the first time anyone ever has been able to shoot this cluster. Happy David, I guess.  Kudos if you can identify the fun elements to this bunch. Parker and Sheaffer in the 1930s offered such a huge array of pens that quirky stuff keeps turning up.

Reverse trim.
#2 could be Canadian; seems like a small White Dot.
#3 has a WASPy clip, so also likely Canadian. Don't think I've seen that clip on an OS before.
