Went for my first antique shop crawl in a couple months last Saturday. My first stop was at a recently opened place that I hadn't been to before. There were about a dozen pens lined up in a display case, and a blue Esterbrook LJ and an orange Sheaffer of some sort both grabbed my eye.
The orange Sheaffer was in great shape; clearly whoever O. W. Haney was didn't use it much. Then I looked at the bottom of the pen... "R3-25C Semi Fine $3.00". Yep, stickered!
As if that wasn't thrilling enough, I walked out with both pens for under 30 bucks.
Dandy way to finish the year! Now I guess I should take a picture or two...
