The pens are finally coming! Unfortunately I will only be posting two pens tonight, but you will definitely want to see both of them. The first pen for you to check out is a sweet green Parker 21 “super”. These pens are hard to beat for the price. They look great, and write like a champ! This one lays a super smooth, wet, medium line. The pictures tell the rest of the story.
Get this pen for only $30 (plus shipping)!
Here is a beautiful Parker Vacumatic. The azure blue colored vacumatics were only made from 1940-1948. Since there are no barrel imprints remaining I have to used other clues to narrow the manufacture date. This pen was likely made in 1946 or 1947. I base this judgment mostly on how the clip was manufactured. After World War 2, Parker began stamping the clips rather than molding them. A stamped clip will have a negative impression on the underside, while a molded clip does not. Since it is difficult to see this difference without taking the clip off you will have to take my word that it is stamped :).

Here is a very nice Eversharp Skyline for you to check out. This pen dates to the early 40’s. The transparent section only appeared on the earlier Skylines. In the 40’s plastic was still a very new technology, and plastics were not as durable as they are now. Eversharp began using plastic in their pens over other materials such as celluloid. Over time and exposure to the sun these plastics often shrink and become brittle, leaving many Eversharps in poor condition. This pen, however, is still in great shape! No cracks to speak of, and the cap still fits tight. There are a couple of small dings and tiny surface scratches, but nothing unexpected for a pen of this age. This pen has been fitted with a new sac and breather tube and writes like a champ! Capped, this pen measures 5.25″, which means it is the standard/full size version. A wonderful writer and a piece of history all in one. Pick this one up for $70 Email me at: RonsVintagePens@gmail.com

Here is another Sheaffer for you to check out. This one comes with a new converter so you can fill it with your favorite ink. This pen is equipped with a huge 1.5 mm italic nib. An Italic nib has more pronounced edges making its lines crisper than a stub. Unfortunately the crisper lines also mean not as smooth of a writing experience when compared to a stub. This isn’t a big deal with such a large nib. Nibs this size are more suited to careful lettering than casual writing. Get this pen, with a brand new converter for $25 plus shipping!

Check out this Sheaffer Lifetime Balance (full length 5.25″, standard girth). Rather than the more common lever fill, this pen is equipped with a vacuum filler (also known as a piston filler). The vac-fill system was introduced to increase ink capacity and filling efficiency. Unfortunately, many vac-fillers are damaged beyond repair, but this one works like a charm! One or two cycles of the piston in a bottle of ink will fill this pen to capacity. The piston fillers also had a transparent barrel so you can easily see how much ink is in the pen. All of the seals have been replaced on this pen, and the nib adjusted and smoothed. Ready for years of service.
On the back side of the cap the plating is showing a little bit of corrosion. The blind cap is also missing a retaining nut that keeps the cap from being unscrewed from the piston rod. Neither of these defects detract from the function of the pen.
I received this pen for a bargain and I will pass those savings on. These pens regularly go for $80-$100. Grab this one for only $45 (+shipping)!

Here is a nice Wearever pen. Wearever pens were the cheaper, mass-produced fountain pen back in the day. Though these pens are not known for being collectable, they function quite well. Give this one a chance. New sac and a smooth fine nib for $15 (plus shipping).
