Filling Mechanism: Rollerball

Sheaffer's first real hit in the post-Golden Age of pens came in the 1970s with the Sheaffer Targa. Its design screams 1970s and '80s. Bold, modern, a cylindrical body squared off on the top and bottom. Our pen has a matte-black finish with gold plated trim. An excellent rollerball pen, its refill is a real tanker. There is an old refill in it now, but we have just ordered some new ones, which we will include with it, as soon as they arrive. Minimal, if any, wear. 13.7cm capped.

We believe this is an early Retro 51 rollerball pen from before the birth of the popular Tornado line. It has a firm-fitting snap cap, but the cap and barrel spin freely when engaged. It is odd, as they are locked tightly together. This pen is in good cosmetic condition. You fill it with standard rollerball refills, like the ones used by Waterman a many other brands. 14.2cm capped.

Italian artisans brilliantly recapture the decadence and beauty of the 1930s with this Montegrappa Extra 1930 rollerball pen. Our preowned luxury pen looks pretty close to perfect with its dazzling sterling silver trim and "bamboo" green celluloid. Sheaffer had a similarly colored celluloid in the 1930s called "marine green." You can really lose yourself in the green flames as you rotate this pen under a light. This handsome pen comes with a working blue rollerball refill and all of its boxes and papers. There is a luxuriousness to its heft and girth, too. 13.6cm capped.

Waterman turned to Asian design for its flagship luxury pens: the Waterman Sérénité. This preowned luxury pen gracefully curves into your hand with perfect balance as you write. The rollerball writes as quickly and smoothly as a fountain pen while maintaining the practical ease of a ballpoint. Sterling silver accents the metallic blue finish of this handsome design. You will get the complete boxes and papers of this magnificent creation. A working blue refill is loaded in the pen, and two spare black refills are located under the pad of the box.

We love how Montblanc draws from its early days of pen-making to create this retro capless rollerball pen as part of the Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912. Our pen is guaranteed authentic, coming complete with its original boxes and papers. Its brush metal design is very Bau Haus inspired. The only significant flaw can be seen just above the clip and 3/4s of the way to end of the cap. It is a wear spot from use. The rest of the pen looks great. Comes with a working blue refill.

It is good to get silly and have some fun with your pens from time to time. The Acme Paintbrush pen is a great way to get a rise out of someone. Great for teachers and artists, especially, this is a fully operational rollerball pen. You get a working black refill and its original box. Nice wide grip and a long pen. 18.7cm long.

Getting extra fancy, Montblanc went all out to design its special edition Montblanc Starwalker Ceramics Doué pens. From swirls in the platinum-plated cap that line up with the swirls in the white ceramic barrel to an exquisitely weighted and balanced writing experience, it is difficult not to love this preowned luxury pen. Screw the cap onto the tail to avoid causing any wear to the finish, which is lovely with minimal trace of wear or use. Guaranteed authentic, it comes with its original boxes, a serial number on the pocket clip and "Made in Germany / Metal" written under the clip. It comes loaded with a working blue fineliner refill, but it also takes Montblanc rollerball refills. 13.5cm capped.

If you like the fluidity of a fountain pen, but you worry it will be too messy for daily writing, you will love the smooth, sophisticated splendor of the luxurious Pelikan Souverän R800 rollerball pen. It has a ballpoint-style refill with a water-based ink. This makes it much more fluid-writing than the oil-based ballpoint pens. Luxury penmaker Pelikan's 800 series is its second largest. This particular pen is in excellent condition with a tiny bit of brassing on the cap band, but the rest of the pen looks nearly perfect. Made in West Germany, you get the idea of how old it must be. Includes a working black refill. The logo is gold with a black mama pelican and two chicks. 14cm capped.
