First is a Parker Vacumatic Maxima with a gloriously smooth STUB nib! If vintage pens aren't your thang, then check out our preowned luxury pen...an Omas Milord with an equally impressive fine-point nib made of 18k gold.
If you are looking for an affordable daily driver in the form of a Parker 51, be sure to check out our latest model from the 1950s. It has plenty of cosmetic issues, but it is still ready for front-line use.
We like to confuse modern Nike marketing with vintage Parker pens. We added a phenomenal example of the Parker Duette Jr. in green and gold. If its closeness to mint condition doesn't thrill you, its FLEXI nib might. We also added an Omas Milord rollerball pen and pencil to the site.
If you love Montblanc writing instruments, you will be very pleased to see we have added the shorter, harder to find Montblanc Mozart pencil and ballpoint pen to the site.
Well, we made it to 2022! Let us hope it isn't yet another repeat of 2020. To start off this year right, we've added an incredible 100-year-old Parker Pen Display Counter to our vintage pens page. For preowned luxury pen lovers, we've added a beautiful, sleek Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 Capless Rollerball pen!
Remember, ThePenMarket.com also is your home for great vintage pen restoration. All customer repairs move to the front of the repair line, which means we plan on maintaing our one-to-two week turnaround time on your pens!
