PARKER: (USA "Big Five")
This seems to be where all the Car company badged pens have ended up so I figured I would bump it.
I've got a new(?) one to add to the list. The pen below is on the way to me. Parker 51 DJ, appears to be a first year, with a Packard Master Salesman badge on the clip. Thought you all would find it interesting. Pics are from the seller, so not great.
Did I see this pen on eBay in the last few days?
Yeah, I decided against keeping it. Doesn't really fit in my collection.

WAHL, WATERMAN and CONKLIN (USA "Big Five")
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.

I have some tiny Cross pencils. Cute little buggers. Top two are sterling, others are GF. Not sure what years mine are from though.

I have a closely matching pen and nib, maybe even the same. I want to say it is from 'Al's Photo Shop' and it appears to be a rebranded mabie todd. I'll see if I can dig it up tonight.

Wow, nice stuff Brian.
I didn't even know they made Coronet pencils in sterling, very jealous. Also jealous of the green Good Service, I have one in Silver but wish it was green, it would match my Diamond Medal Vac-Fil. I'm sure I'll come across one someday.

Nice Diamond Medal.
Thanks, been looking for an inexpensive one for a couple years. The eBay listing for this one actually had decent pictures but other than that, may have been the worst listing I have ever seen. Wrong category, seller misspelled diamond, medal (two different ways), and fountain. I only found it because I was bidding on something else of theirs and looked at their other listings. Got it super cheap.
Very nice selection of pens. You finished 2015 very strong! I particularly like the color on the Univer.
- Grayling
Thanks! The cap of the Univer is not in good shape and the nib is wrong, body and imprint are good though.

There might be some fluorescing to the cap, it is kind of hard to tell. Overall it is pretty clean, just darkened and with some brassing. Moot point though, I'm keeping it, sorry.
Mine does have one difference from yours. Mine does not say 'Stonite' under Gold Bond, I'm not entirely clear on what 'Stonite' is though, so that could just be related to the color/pattern.

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.

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.
