Filling Mechanism: Lever Filler
Era: 1940-1949   Fountain Pen Nib Size: SF
Price: $99.99
Vintage Pens: 5598: Waterman: Stalwart
Many of Waterman's pens of the 1940s looked very similar to one another. We think this is the mid-sized Waterman Stalwart. It might be difficult to see in the photo, but it has a beautiful pearlescent sheening. We restored it with a new ink sac and a hand-made pressure bar to replace the missing original pressure bar under the lever. No cracks, a little brassing on the clip and a dark ring around the very top of the cap. The clip jiggles just a tiny bit but is still secure. There's a scratch on the section. You will write a dry, extra-fine line with its 14k gold nib. However, you can flex it to .75mm if you are slow and gentle. 11.6cm capped.

Vintage Pens: 5558: Wahl-Eversharp: Skyline
Artistic doesn't always work for product photos, but we like the crisp Eversharp in the clip of this black Eversharp Skyline with a gold-filled cap. We restored this vintage pen with a new ink sac. The cap is dent-free, but the barrel shows some wear from use. Most remarkable is the 14k gold nib. It is a fat, juicy writer that goes from about a medium to an incredible 2mm wide! It is not a wet noodle, but if you go easy on its semi-flex nature with patience, it will deliver great results. This is the short version of the pen at 12.5cm capped.

Vintage Pens: 5554: Wahl-Eversharp: Skyline
Far from being the rarest of Eversharp Skylines, this bandless cap version is definintely uncommon. Happily enough, the cap on this vintage pen is crack free, but it does look as if it had a brush with a lit cigarette on the back of the cap. Unfortunately there's a 2"-crack leading out of the point of the tail of the green barrel. We restored the pen with a new ink sac. The tail crack seems very stable. You will write a smooth medium to medium-broad line with its 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.3cm capped.

Era: 1940-1949   Fountain Pen Nib Size: F
Price: $99.99
Vintage Pens: 5556: Wahl-Eversharp: Skyline
If you think the Eversharp Skyline fountain pen design looks like the streamlined steam engine for the 20th Century Limited, you'd be right! Wahl-Eversharp hired Henry Dreyfuss to design the Skyline...after he designed the train! One of the most popular fountain pens of the 1940s, these vintage pens are a real treat. Ours is fully restored with a new ink sac. The gold-filled cap looks pretty sharp without any dents or serious scratches, but the burgundy pen barrel has a lot of scuffing just below the lever in the photo (though you may not see it in the photo). You will write a slightly dry fine to fine-medium line with its 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. Standard sized model. 13.2cm capped.
Vintage Pens: 5410 Esterbrook Dollar Pen

Vintage Pens: 5410: Esterbrook: Dollar Pen
Can you spot what makes this Esterbrook Dollar Pen so special? Need to click the headline for a close-up? Need a clue? Look more closely at the bottom of the cap. 3 incised cap bands! This is one of the rarer features to be found on an Esterbrook Dollar Pen. We restored this vintage pen with a new ink sac, and it is in great working order. The cap is crack-free with minimal wear. Unfortunately, there's a scar the wraps a quarter of the way around the barrel between the threads and lever. You can see it in the photo. Unlike most 1551 nibs, we find this one to be an insanely smooth, wet medium writer. The pen itself is the long-skinny version of the pen. Were it the J-series, it would be an LJ, but we aren't sure of the Dollar Pen designation. 12.1cm capped.

Esterbrook fanatics, click the headline for close-ups and pay special attention to the nib! YES! It is a rare "sunburst" 3550 nib! These are highly sought-after nibs. Plus, it comes in a very nice junior-sized minty green Esterbrook Dollar Pen! The vintage pen looks great with only light wear. We restored it with a new ink sac. You will write a firm, extra-fine to fine line with its osmiridium nib. A nice, shiny addition for your desk. 12cm capped.

Vintage Pens: 5406: Esterbrook: Dollar Pen
Esterbrook really began its rise as a powerhouse pen company in the 1930s and '40s with the famous Esterbrook Dollar Pen. Much more affordable during those lean years than Parker and Sheaffer, Esterbrook offered a good all-purpose pen with the incredible feature of interchangeable nibs! Just screw a new one in for a whole new look to your writing. Esterbrook was previously more famous for its nibs, and this pen offered close to 3 dozen different writing tips! Ours comes with the steel 1554 GREGG nib, which was made for practitioners of the Gregg shorthand method! Thus, we think this restored vintage pen once belonged to a secretary or stenographer. You can see a scuff to the right of the clip in the photo. Otherwise this pen has no cracks and only light wear. You'll write a firm, extra-extra fine line, which can get a little scratchy with too much pressure. 12.1cm capped.

Vintage Pens: 5349: Waterman: Patrician
Here it is! One of the Granddaddies of Grail Pens: the Waterman Patrician. We've restored this vintage pen with a new ink sac. What makes this pen really stand out to us is its black hard rubber (ebonite) cap and barrel. It has a little oxidation and moderate wear, but it isn't a mess of chocolate hazing, either. No cracks. Click the headline for close-ups. You'll write a nice, firm medium line with a little feedback with its original 14k gold Patrician nib. There's a little brassing on the cap band, and there's a slight bulge under the left-side of the clip (as you face it) where it attaches to the pen. The big golden Waterman's seal on the flat tail of the pen looks like a baseball with "Waterman's" written inside it. This is the big 'un. 13.9cm capped.
