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.

You will write a firm, extra-fine to fine line with its osmiridium nib. A nice, shiny addition for your desk. 12cm capped.

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.

This new old stock pen is the real McCoy, the bee's knees, if ya know what I mean. Roaring Twenties pens are tons of fun. Take this Aikin Lambert Capitol Cabinet fountain pen for example. It is a black chased hard rubber pen without any cracks and its original nib sticker! We restored this vintage pen with a new ink sac. And is it ever fun to write with! Its 14k gold nib writes a very smooth fine line and with some gentle pressure, it turns into a semi-flex that gets close to 1mm wide a line! Deep crisp imprints. This beauty's a winner, Chum. 13.6cm capped.

Waterman mastered nib technology in the 1920s, and 100 years later, these nibs are still better than anything on the market. The fountain pen of our Waterman 54 set comes with a real delight of a FLEXI nib. It is just firm enough to allow you to easily maintain a fine line, but then it smoothly gives way to 1mm line. Absolutely dreamy. The vintage pen itself is pretty nice. The 54 was a nice step up from the slimmer 52. The orange pen is made of "red" hard rubber with a black woodgrain design. There are no cracks or deep scratches on the cap or barrel. The section grip was once stained by ink, and the imprint is weak. There is a little brassing on the gold-plated trim. It has been restored with a new ink sac. Its matching pencil still works and is cosmetically better with only brassing on the nose cone. 1.1mm lead. Refills in the tail.

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.

If you wanted to show you were a big deal in the 1940s office environment, you'd own a Sheaffer Autograph. More than a standard high-end Triumph fountain pen, this pen came with a solid 14k gold band that was extra wide. We restored this vintage pen with a new ink sac. It was engraved with the initials B.R. A great signature pen, you will find this pen comes with a juicy, smooth broad nib made of 14k gold. No dents, cracks nor deep scratches! Just light surface wear, except for one very little circular mark just below the lip of the cap on the barrel of the pen. Click the headline for a close-up of the pen and nib. 13.5cm capped.

Might this vintage pen be doubly hard to find? Not only is it an Esterbrook J-model Demonstrator, it was made in England! Fully restored with a new ink sac, we aren't sure how many people would actually want to write with this museum-quality pen in their collection. No cracks or scratches. Minimal, if any, wear. Looks just about brand new to us. The ruby-red finish really shines. It comes with a somewhat scratchy 2668 steel nib. However, like all J-model Esterbrooks, you can unscrew the nib and swap it out.

You can't get much closer to perfection on the hard rubber cap and barrel on a rare Sheaffer 41 Autograph model pen than this. Its chasing and imprint are as crisp as the day it was made. Zero chocolate hazing. Its 41 imprint in the flat tail has orange paint or chalk in it, which apparently isn't original. Not a trace of brassing on its extra-wide gold-plated cap band, clip and lever. The ONLY flaw is the teeniest, tiniest little dimple a 25% turn to the left of the clip in the center of the cap band. That's it, and you'll miss it if you don't specifically look for it. Our vintage pen is fully restored with a new ink sac. It has a replacement 14k gold Lifetime nib without the serial number AND an original spear-point inkfeed. You will write a fine line with a little feedback, but we don't think most people will be making such a beautiful specimen a frequent writer. It is an impressive vintage pen, especially in this condition. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.5cm capped.
