Fountain Pens with Nib Size: F

Enjoy a really unique preowned luxury pen with our Tiffany & Co. Diplomat. Made in West Germany, it is closing in on vintage territory. What we find unique about it is that it was made exclusively for Tiffany & Co by the Diplomat pen company. We believe the cap and barrel to be made of briar wood. It has such a rich and sumptuous. Minimal wear, no cracks or brassing. You will write a nice fine line with its 18k gold nib. Appearing to be marked "M" for medium, this pen is definitely a fine point. Included is the standard international converter. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.9cm capped.

Parker Vacumatic Maxima pens in burgundy can be difficult to find, but a matching set is tougher. These fully restored writing instruments hail from 1937. They look divine with minimal wear, no brassing, no cracks and with crisp imprints. The vintage pen is missing some of its original silvery plating from its 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. We dipped said nib and it is a very hard starter that writes a fine dry line. If you want to make this pen a daily user, you'll have to break in the nib a bit. It isn't difficult, it just takes a little time and practice. The barrel of the pen is ambered, but you can still see through it. The vintage pencil works great and comes with an original lead cartridge case in the tail.

Need a tiger of a pen on your desk? Our preowned luxury Levenger Firenze fountain pen is a great. The model name pays tribute to the city of Florence in Italy. Made by Italian pen company Stipula for Levenger, this pen has a handsome amber base and black veins. The trim is solid sterling silver on the clip and cap band. No cracks or scratches, but it has some wear from use. The pen comes with a standard international converter; it uses like cartridges. You will love writing with its two-tone 18k gold nib. We find it writes a smooth, wet fine line. Click the headline for close-ups. A limited edition pen. 13.1cm capped.

Blue marble always looks sharp on a vintage pen. Our Conway Stewart 85L comes from England in the late 1950s. We restored it with a new ink sac. No cracks or deep scratches. The worst of the brassing is in the photo. Click the headline for close-ups. Its 14k gold nib has a little flex. However, you might need to train it a bit for more consistent writing. We've been working on it to get more consistent flow. It is vastly improved, it might "tighten-up" while shipping it. There's some feedback, too. 13.6cm capped.

Some vintage pens work perfectly well, but their cosmetics turn-off some collectors. This is one of those pens in a Parker 51. The cap is dented, rusted, stained and imperfect. The fountain pen still works well with its original "pli-glass" ink sac. The hood and barrel have some wear and scratches. There's a little rust staining where the cap rested against the barrel. Clearly, this pen can survive Hell, and it is still ready to write. You'll write a firm, fine line with a little feedback using its 14k gold nib. 13.7cm capped.

We got this pen from a friend who loves to tinker. When we got this pen to sell, we said, "Wait a second, what's this Danitrio Brillante doing with a 14k gold Sailor nib?" Then we remembered where we got the pen. This preowned pen is a limited edition numbered 101 of 200. Given that the pen originally came with a steel nib, we think this wrong nib is an upgrade. Click the headline for a close-ups. The pen is otherwise in great shape with minimal wear. It comes with its original converter. You will write a fine line with a hint of feedback, which makes sense given it is stamped H-F. 14cm capped.

You've always wanted a Parker Snakes pen from the turn of the last century, but the $10,000 price tag has scared you off. Well, here is a larger, modern version called the Danitrio Phantas I. Filling with a standard international converter (or cartridges), this pen has a two-tone steel nib. It is marked M for medium, but we find it writes more of a nice fine line. We don't believe the filigree has any precious metal, but we still like the red glass eyes of the serpents. Light wear from use. 14cm capped.

Lookin' mighty fine from the 1950s, here comes a Sheaffer Admiral. Kindofa high rank for a base-line model of the famed Snorkel pens. Nevertheless, we love these pens and their Rube Goldberg overcomplicated filling systems. We restored this one with a new sac, point seal and O-ring. It fills well, but sometimes you have to give it an extra second to suck in the ink. When it comes to Snorkels, we prefer these 14k gold open nibs to the conical Triumph nibs. You will find this pen needs a little breaking in. It writes a very nice fine line with a little feedback, which we think with smooth out a bit with time the more you write with it. No cracks. Light wear. Click the headline for close-ups. 14.3cm capped.
