Pre-Owned Pens

American-made luxury pens are a rare treat in modern manufacturing, but this Cross Townsend rollerball pen was a staple of the 1990s. Gold-plated sophistication makes this pre-owned pen a must. Our pen shows some wear from use, but there are no dents, cracks or engravings. The cap has a tight snap closure. We include a free refill with this classic pen. 15cm capped.

We love this deep bronze metallic finish on this Sheaffer Prelude. Likely one of the last American-made Preludes, it remains in excellent condition, with minimal wear. A Sheaffer converter is included with this pre-owned pen. It also takes modern Sheaffer cartridges. You will write a dry, extra-fine to fine line with its two-tone steel nib. It does not appear to have been written with much. The more you write with it and "break it in" the flow should improve a bit, though it likely will always be a dry writer. 13.2cm capped.

Metallic Turquoise is really stunning on this limited edition Kaweco Art Sport fountain pen. It is in like-new condition with minimal, if any, wear. These pens only use standard international cartridges, and this one comes with an unopened one in its barrel. Seemingly undipped or used, the steel nib does not appear to have ever seen ink. As such, we haven't dipped it and given it a spin. Included is a Kaweco tin that has space for two pens. Pen measures 10.5cm capped.

Sterling silver cisele designs have been a staple of Parker pens for more than 50 years. Evergreen, it looks stunning on our Parker Sonnet rollerball pen. An absolute classic, this rollerball comes without all the hassle of a fountain pen, while still writing smoothly with water-based fountain pen ink! We include a new brand new refill with this pre-owned pen. The pen looks nearly perfect, except for some scratches on the very bottom of the tail's silver. 13.2cm capped.

Parker's so-called 5th Generation pen got us really excited when they first started advertising them about 10 years ago. A new filling system seemed to be in the offing. We were pretty excited. Then it turned out to be a rubber-tipped marker refill posing as a fountain pen. Ooooo-kay. Awkward. Not really a new generation of filling systems by our standards. BUT, it remained a surprisingly nice writing pen. Our Parker Urban Ingenuity is in great condition with some light wear from use. We include a brand new refill for your writing pleasure. 13.8cm capped.

Beat the summer heat with this cool misty grey-blue Visconti Mirage fountain pen. Visconti calls the color of this pen "Horn." Our preowned pen is in like-new condition, and it is possible that it was only dipped. Included are the original box, papers and Visconti standard international converter. Its magnetic cap closure is in excellent condition. Click the headline for close-ups. We find that though the steel nib is stamped "M" for medium, it writes more like a fine-point nib with some feedback. 13.7cm capped.

Ahoy! Set sail on a dreamy pagescape with this Sailor 1911 Standard fountain pen. Our preowned pen is especially unique because it sports a 14k gold MUSIC nib. Unlike a standard music nib with three tines, this Sailor version only has 2 tines but is honkin' bulbous. You will glide smoothly along with a close to double broad line. Technically, it has a little line variation but don't count on much. This luxury pen might look a shade or two darker red in real life, and it is almost mint looking. Minimal wear and tear. Comes with converter, some drying original ink cartridges and its boxes. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.5cm capped.

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.
