1980-present Fountain Pen Nib Size:
XFPrice:
$59.99NEW OLD STOCK! You can't see it in the photo, but there is a sticker still on the back of the cap. The pen looks perfect and comes with its original tube. The tube has a long scratch, but is otherwise fine. Click the headline for close-ups. Even the included converter is ink-free. We did not dip the pen to test it, as we didn't want to ruin the NOS factor. You will see the two-tone steel nib is marked EF for extra-fine. It is a nice, big red pen. 15.4cm capped.

1920-1929 Fountain Pen Nib Size:
SFPrice:
$49.99A third-tier pen with first-tier semi-flex quality is difficult to find. However, our Hi Writer pen from what looks like the 1920s has just that. We restored this vintage pen with a new ink sac. What will dazzle you most is the smooth medium steel nib that gently flexes to about 1mm wide. Click the headline for close-ups. Yeah, the nib looks rough. If we polished it, it would lose all of its gold plating. Otherwise the pen has some minor marks and stains. The pocket clip is and comes out if you pull it out in a Z shape. 12.7cm capped.

5764 Parker Vacumatic Filling Mechanism:
Vacuum FillerEra:
1930-1939 Fountain Pen Nib Size:
XFPrice:
$249.99SOLD!Among the standard colors of the Parker Vacumatic, burgundy is the most difficult to find. Our vintage pen set is a little unique, as the pen marked 1938 sports a lock-down filler that doesn't lock down. We think is is a marriage of parts by some old repair many years ago. It works well now with a new diaphragm. It is difficult to see in the photo, but the barrel clarity is nice and not badly ambered. Just a little ambered. No cracks. The cap has a black jewel and the tail's blind cap has a burgundy jewel. The two-toned 14k gold nib is still two-toned. It writes a dry, extra-fine line that needs some breaking in if you were planning to write with it. The matching pencel works well and has a 1940 date. It is pre-loaded with a 1.1mm lead, a hardened eraser but no spare leads. It, too, shows a little wear from use.

1980-present Fountain Pen Nib Size:
MPrice:
$2,999.99Among the most elegant of the Montblanc Boheme line is the Montblanc Boheme Paso Doble Rouge. This sold out Montblanc special edition pays tribute to the Latin American dance. Ours was only gently used and shows light wear. Its engraved platinum-plated trim sports a red lacquer finish and a red-stone in the pocket clip. Guaranteed authentic, it comes with its original boxes. Unfortunately, its booklet has gone missing. Its 18k gold nib has a medium point. We love the action that smoothly extends and retracts the nib like an old-fashioned safety pen. 11cm retracted and capped.

$149.99At the height of the Great Depression, Parker needed a lower tier pen to help meet market demand for new pens that weren't as expensive as its flagship Vacumatics. Enter the Parker Challenger. This is actually a slightly higher-end version known as the Parker Challenger Deluxe. It is a slightly larger pen using the old Parker Duofold filling mechanism. It also has some sweet art deco design. We restored this one with a new ink sac. It has minimal brassing and no cracks. Only light wear and discoloration, too. You will write a dry, fine line with its 14k gold nib. 12.9cm capped.
