All Pens and Ephemera

Omas pens remain among the hottest writing instruments at the moment, especially since the original company went out of business several years ago. Their pencils are among the hardest to find of their writing instruments, as they didn't make as many. This burgundy Omas Milord pencil is a real treat that comes with its original box and papers. We think it is a .5mm lead pencil. Spare leads are under the cap, which unscrews...so don't try to yank it off. With the exception of a tiny bit of brassing on the cap bands, this pencil has only some light wear from use, which is difficult to see unless you examine it closely. Works well. The click action works with a side twist of the tail cap. 14cm.

Retro 51 Tornado Carbon Fiber pens really captured the masculine pen-culture vibe of the early 2000s, when carbon fiber was the hottest thing in men's fashion and design. Our pre-owned pen looks like new and it sports a brand new capless rollerball refill that is black. Extend and retract the the refill with a twist of its tail-end topper. You also get its original box and papers! 12.7cm.

Did you miss out on the orange Lamy AL-Star when it came out a couple years ago? Don't miss your opportunity to get one that looks like new. Our ballpoint model comes with its original box and working blue ballpoint refill. These are proprietary refills from Lamy. It has a really nice, solid click action. 13.8cm.

Stickered, new old stock pencils might seem common on our site, but they aren't as common in the wild. Here is a classic Eversharp Skyline pencil with a sticker indicating it is model number 1161. It is an early click pencil with a 1.1mm lead. You'll find it works well and comes with some spare leads. The spare automatically feed into the pencil. Yet, you can access the spares and a hardened eraser by pulling out the clicker button. There is a little wear and brassing from wherever this vintage pencil stay hidden away for the past 70-odd years, yet, it still looks very nice overall. 13.3cm.

Do you wish your vintage grail pen came with a Japanese extra-fine nib? This 1939 Parker Vacumatic Maxima gets pretty close to Japanese extra-fine with the right paper. It is a beautiful silver pearl design with tolerable barrel clarity with ambering. No cracks, no scratches, no significant wear. It comes with a fresh diaphragm and a clean imprint and top and bottom silver pearl design jewels. There's monotone 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. Great aluminum speedline filler. Its only flaw seems to be the darkened metal trim around the blind-cap jewel. 13.6cm capped.

We love the diamond pattern in the solid sterling silver Sheaffer Imperial pencil. It is in great working order. Twist the tail cap to extend and retract the .9mm lead. No dents but a little tarnish. You'll find the clip has the initials "S.R.M." A hardened eraser and spare lead are under the cap. 12.6cm.

Sheaffer Titan pencils were the oversized models. This is a black-and-pearl model that is still showing good color. It works well advancing and retracting the 1.1mm lead. All it takes is a twist of the gold-plated tail cap. Unfortunately, somebody dropped this one years ago. One side of the tail piece is scrunched down a little in a few places. There's a little ding in the nose cone. You also can't miss the engraved name of "E.W. Miller." Spare leads are found under the tail cap. Nevertheless, it still works and writes great! 13.5cm capped.

Senior-sized Parker Duofolds with a wide cap band, such as this one, don't come along every day. In fact, they might only come along once or twice a lifetime, if you're lucky. We have one such beauty right here, and it has no cracks under the cap band. It is gorgeous with a deep Lucky Curve imprint, too! Fully restored with a new ink sac, its only flaw appears to be a thin sliver of brassing on the cap band. Click the headline for a close-up. This is a permanite model not the red hard rubber. Still, it is a great treat. There's a "Christmas tree" inkfeed and a 14k gold nib. You'll write a very nice medium line. Fairly crisp milling on the end caps, too! 13.9cm capped.
