F2 Sanford in BCHR lever fill, ringtop, restored, nice fine flex (really flexible) 14K nib, clean and sharp ITEM PRICE $55 SOLD

F6 Wahl in gold filled metal, 3 size, with a Wahl 3 extra fine flex nib. I would call this closer to a semi flex, but writes nice. Some wear to gold fill finish, a ding on barrel, but presentable. ITEM PRICE $65  SOLD
 
F7 Waterman 12 slip cap eyedropper fill. This one has a 14K waterman 2 star nib. Hard to find! Unfortunately, it is worn out, no tipping, but still writes smooth.

F11 Good service in mottled plastic. I questioned whether the clip is original, but am pretty sure it is. It is slightly loose, and the lower rivet isn’t finished as well as you would hope or expect. Lever fill, nice warranted 8 medium flex point, writes well. Pretty pen. Restored. ITEM PRICE $95 
 
F12 Supreme in red and white marble plastic, cool looking pen, but it is a lower tier product, in the build quality is not there. Gold wash trim, and poor finish. Nice looking pen, has a warranted 14K flex fine/medium nib. Lever fill. ITEM PRICE $85 
 
F13 Masterpeice in red plastic. Lower tier type pen, fit and finish not up to par. This one has a nice fine semi flex alloy nib, fine point, writes well. Lever fill, restored. ITEM PRICE $75
