Pre-Owned Pens with Nib Size: B

Sweet dreams are made of these Sheaffer-Levenger Connaisseurs named after the 7 seas. This handsome pre-owned pen represents the Aegean Sea. It is a lovely translucent green with gold-plated trim. We believe it is a Sheaffer-cartridge only pen, as we haven't any Sheaffer converters that fit it. It has a little wear from use. You will write a luscious wet broad line with its 14k gold nib. 14cm capped.

When the original Omas went belly up a few years ago, one bright entrepreneur bought up most, if not all, of the company's famed celluloid rod stock. He then created a new brand called the Armando Simoni Club. Armando Simoni was the founder of the original Omas pen company in Italy, and "The Club" made new pens out of the remains of the old company's leftovers. This pen is the Armando Simoni Club Studio in Pinnacle Yellow. It appears to be New Old Stock and never previously filled. The piston filler works well and shows no trace of ink.

Complete with box and pouch. 14.5cm capped.

Fans of Sailor pens know that ZOOM nibs are a special treat, and we are happy to report that this standard-size Sailor 1911 has a Zoom nib! For the uninitiated, the Zoom nib is a 14k gold broad nib. In the world of Japanese nibs, it might be considered a double or triple broad. For American and European nib enthusiasts, we dipped it and it looks mostly like a regular broad nib. Regardless, aside from a scuff on the pocket clip, this pen looks like new. It also comes complete with its original boxes and converter. 13.6cm capped.
