Painted Conklin Ring Tops

14 July 2016 - 03:27 AM

Does anyone have any info on the painted Conklin ring tops from the 1920s/30s? I have a set on the way to me and am not quite sure what I have. It might be a "1-2270S Blue and Orchid Flower Design" according to the 1930 catalog, but that doesn't show pictures.

This is it, I'll be able to take better pics in a few days.

Parker 51 DJ Set with Heritage/Window Pane caps

16 January 2016 - 08:07 PM

1946 Parker 51 double jewel set with Heritage/Window pane caps and 14k trim, in box.

Pen body - clear imprint, no chips or cracks, some general wear (I haven't cleaned or polished it). Correct blindcap with 14k tassie. The nib looks fine but is kind of gunked up. Unrestored, I haven't and don't really plan to take it apart.

Pen cap - No dents, one 2mm scratch below the clip. Correct 14k clip. '1/8 14k gold filled'.

Pencil body - no imprint, no cracks or chips, some general wear (I haven't cleaned or polished it). Correct 14k nosecone, no dents, advances lead properly. Nosecone looks a little odd, like it was plated with something and is wearing off?

Pencil cap - General wear, no dents, dings or scratches. Correct 14k clip. 1/10th 16k gold filled cap.

Looking for $450, located in the US.

Interesting Gold Bond

Got this in the mail today, it has a clip I don't recognize though. Any ideas? It has a replacement (I assume) John Holland nib.

I was going to sell it, but after handling it, I think I have to keep it. Especially since I kind of have a green collection.

Parker Vacumatic - O/S Burgundy Lockdown

20 November 2015 - 02:34 AM

Got my first Oversize Vacumatic today, got a HELL of a deal on it too. I tend to like smaller pens but it is surprisingly comfortable to use. Dunno if I'm going to be able to keep it though, real life expenses suck!

Golden Pearl lockdown standard and an Emerald sub-deb for size reference.
