ronsvintagepenshttps://ronsvintagepens.wordpress.comHello! Thanks for taking the time to check out my page. I guess you deserve to know a little bit about myself. My wife and I are presently living in eastern Washington. I have completed my studies at Westminster Seminary and am presently working full time at Curfman Steel. It was in midst of my studies at Westminster seminary that I fell in love with fountain pens. I have been using a fountain pen daily for several years and I want to share them with everyone else. There is nothing like writing with a good fountain pen, especially for one who does a lot of writing in a day. I prefer to take notes by hand, but a ball point wears out my hand after a couple of hours. The ease with which a fountain pen writes has allowed me to take more notes with far less stress on my hand. If you have not tried a fountain pen, I suggest you shoot me an email! I would love to get you started. Fountain pen repair is only a hobby presently. Though I may not pump out pens as fast as some professional repairers, I am able to afford greater attention and care to each pen, and keep costs low. I also warranty all of my work for 1 year, so you can buy with confidence! If you would like to know more about me or the pens I sell, shoot me an email at RonsVintagePens@gmail.com. Happy writing! - Ron

[Sold! – This pen is staying in California] WOW! Mint Parker 21 ‘Super’!

This is a real gem! This Parker 21 super didn’t look like it had ever been inked… before I filled it…. Hey, I had to make sure it worked. 😉

This pen looks and writes like new, and it is 60 years old (mid 50’s to early 60’s)!

[SOLD! – this pen is going to Taiwan!]Wahl – Gold Filled Fine-flex

This Wahl fountain pen is smaller than you can imagine. This size “0” measures about 3 5/16″ capped, and 4 7/16″ posted. I included a couple of pictures comparing this pen to a full size Parker 51 so you can visualize the size.

This is a great pen for your on-the-go calligraphy needs. Even though it is small it still flexes from a fine to a broad line. Great for making name cards or invitations.

This pen has been fitted with a new sac and is ready to go! $80 (+shipping)

Please excuse my feeble attempts at calligraphy. 🙂

[Sold! – This pen is going to Taiwan!] Blue Parker 21 ‘Super’ – fine

Check out this Parker 21 ‘Super’! Super 21s were the premium version of the line. The ‘Super’ 21 borrowed its nib and feed from the Parker 51 ‘Special’. The result is a very nice writer at a very nice price! Many collectors use 21 Supers as their daily writers. Give this one a try for a bargain, only $30 plus shipping!

[Sold! This pen is also going to Taiwan!] Parker 51 – Vacumatic, Fine nib!

Here is another beauty! This is a very nice Parker 51 vacumatic in cedar blue. It lays a nice and juicy fine line. There are very few imperfections to speak of, but it does have a couple. There is a small nick in the blind cap, and a small dent in the metal cap. Neither defect is noticeable if you aren’t looking for them. Other than that this is a fine example of a 1945 Parker 51! New diaphragm installed, this one is ready to go. Get it for only $70 plus shipping!

[Sold! – This pen is staying in California!] Parker Duofold – Vac Fill

Take a look at this nice vac-filling Duofold from 1944. This pen is in great shape. There are some teeth marks on the metal part of the cap. Some of the war year pens have a silver clip because brass was scarce. The silver was then gold plated. I am not sure that this particular clip is sliver, but if it is soft enough to leave bite marks I would suspect that it is (no guarantees :)). The filler on this pen has been completely rebuilt. It has a new spring, cup (for gripping the diaphragm), diaphragm, and air tube. The nib is a fine point and fairly wet. Add this pen to your collection for the bargain price of $88 Email me at: RonsVintagePens@gmail.com

[Sold – This pen is staying in California] Black Parker 21 – Medium

Here is another bargain Parker 21. This is the standard version. Though it is not as dreamy of a writer as a Parker 51, it still writes great, especially when considering the price! This pen would make a nice daily workhorse! Note that all the pens I sell on this blog have been cleaned, and smoothed to my standards. Even an inexpensive pen like this will work great, guaranteed! Get it for only $15 plus shipping!

Start of the Spring Semester

Hello Everyone! As you may know, I am a student at Westminster Seminary. I am happy to announce that I am entering my final semester! The begging of a new semester also means I will not be putting up restored pens on this blog as frequently for the next few months. However, I will do my best to keep the pen stock flowing, so keep checking in! If you have any pen needs, or pen wishes, feel free contact me directly at RonsVintagePens@gmail.com. I will be happy to assist you any way that I can!

[Sold 2/14/15 – This pen is going to Thailand!] Parker 51 – Demi Size – Black

Parker 51’s are classic pens that work great for daily use. This black Parker 51 is “demi” sized. The demi measures about 1/2″ shorter than the full size version. There is a small crack in the cap, but it shouldn’t hinder its function. This Pen is a great writer and lays a nice fine-medium line. Since this one is not in minty condition I will let it go for a bargain at $50 (+ shipping).
