MPrice:
$599.99Artistry such as that of this Namiki Impressions Emerald fountain pen cannot be captured in a photo. You must handle this pen for yourself to get lost in the pools of emerald light captured in the cap and barrel of this exquisite pre-owned pen. Such depth and dimension. Hints of sapphire blue radiate in the light, as you turn the pen slowly to enjoy its sparkling essence. Oh, yeah. You can even write with it, too! The pen only shows the lightest of wear from use. It comes with a box and converter. You also may use Namiki or Pilot cartridges on it. You will write a firm medium line with its 14k gold nib. The rigidity provides gentle feedback.

MPrice:
$59.99SOLD!St. Patrick's Day green is a good way to describe this vintage pen. We searched high and low for an imprint on it, but we don't see one. It is too well made to not have an imprint. We think this no-name pen might be related to the National Pen Company, given its pocket clip, but we aren't sure. Nevertheless, we restored it with a new ink sac. You will write a very smooth medium line with its 14k gold Warranted nib. The feed looks a little like a Conklin feed. No cracks or brassing, but you can tell that the celluloid is on its way out. It has the tell-tale signs of decaying, but it isn't krazing, yet. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.5cm capped.

Cartridge/ConverterEra:
1980-present Fountain Pen Nib Size:
MPrice:
$39.99Keep it simple. Sometimes that is the best advice. Who needs an expensive luxury pen when a smooth-writing basic Sheaffer Agio will do? Elegant with black and golden trim, you can still impress at work and enjoy the fountain pen experience anywhere you go. Our preowned pen comes with a smooth golden alloy nib. It is marked "M" for medium, but we find it writes closer to a fine line. It fills with Sheaffer cartridges and converters, but it comes with neither. Slender and 13cm capped.

6060 Sheaffer Levenger Connaisseur Filling Mechanism:
Cartridge/ConverterEra:
1980-present Fountain Pen Nib Size:
MPrice:
$99.99SOLD!In the 1990s, Levenger contracted with Sheaffer to have made a new series of Sheaffer Connaisseur fountain pens themed after the 7 seas. These became known as the Sheaffer Levenger Connaisseurs. This transparent cobalt blue model is named after the Mediterranean Sea. It is a proprietary Sheaffer-only cartridge or converter pen. It sports an older squeeze-bar (aerometric) converter and comes with a box, which might also not be original. There is no brassing but the pen shows a little wear. Its best feature is its very smooth 14k gold nib. You'll love how it writes a nice, medium line. 14cm capped.

$2,000.00SOLD!Here it is! The grail pen of all grail pens...a factory fresh 1928 Parker Duofold Senior set in mandarin yellow! Fully restored with a new ink sac, this pen looks as close to new as a 96-year-old pen can. Click the headline for close-ups. Check out the milling on the end caps. So crisp. The imprint is deep and crisp, too. Original nib and "Christmas tree" inkfeed, of course. No cracks or scars. No brassing. This is pretty much as good as it gets. The pencil is in good working order, with just one little blemish on the golden crown of the tail. Pen measures 13.9cm capped.

6072 Montegrappa Extra 1930 Filling Mechanism:
Piston FillerEra:
1980-present Fountain Pen Nib Size:
MPrice:
$899.99Montegrappa Extra 1930 is a confusing name for a pen, as it made many decades after 1930. Nevertheless, it was made with all of the elegance of that decade's luxury design. Montegrappa is easily our favorite Italian pen manufacturer. It uses the most beautiful of celluloids, solid precious metal trim and its nibs are soooo damned smooth. This preowned luxury pen sports a "green marble" design and sterling silver trim. It was gently used and looks like it is in mint condition on a passing glance. Yet, a very close inspection reveals some wear to the celluloid where it rattled around a desk drawer for a little while. However, you really need to look closely to see it. You will write a delightfully smooth medium line with its 18k gold nib. Oddly, we don't see the gold purity stamp on the nib, but these pens all came with 18k gold nibs to the best of our knowledge. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.8cm capped.

5981 Mont Blanc Generations Filling Mechanism:
Cartridge/ConverterEra:
1980-present Fountain Pen Nib Size:
MPrice:
$125.00SOLD!Looking to modernize the look of their offerings, the popular German pen brand created the Montblanc Generation fountain pen. A swingin' vibe permeates the elegance of this preowned luxury pen. We love the way its 14k gold nib writes a smooth medium line. Click the headline for a close-up. No cracks or deep scratches, only light wear. We found it a Schmidt standard international converter. You can use like-sized refills. Out before the proliferation of serial numbers, we are certain this pen is authentic. You will find "Pix" and "Made in Germany" on the underside of the clip. 14cm capped.

6160 Wahl-Eversharp Oxford Filling Mechanism:
Lever FillerEra:
1930-1939 Fountain Pen Nib Size:
MPrice:
$75.00SOLD!Sometimes it is the imprint on a vintage pen that gets us. "Wahl Oxford / Made in U.S.A. / By the Makers of / Eversharp" Kind of unconventional. The pen is pretty straight forward, though. We restored this lever-filler with a new ink sac. No cracks and minimal wear. The only cosmetic problem seems to be that the pocket clip is mostly brassed. Click the headline for a close-up. You'll write a wet, medium line with its 14k gold nib. For an added bonus, this nib is a little flexi. You can gently push it up to 1mm wide. There is a little feedback, but that is pretty normal with flex. 12.4cm capped.
