Cleaning out the "attic"

April 3, 2009

Good Evening to everyone!

I've been going through my collection and weeding out good pens that I just don't use anymore (or, in fact, have never used). All of the following are in EXCELLENT condition but (with one exception) they don't come with boxes or papers.

About shipping: I use USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes where possible. A small box costs $4.95 (for shipping in the continental US)and will hold at least two pens, possibly as many as 6 depending on how I pack them. So it pays to buy more pens from me. :-)

There are too many pens to include in one message, so I'll post one this evening and the other tomorrow evening.

1) Sheaffer Balance 2 in Jade green. The nib is a Right Oblique Italic and is, in my opinion, very smooth. I'm a lefty "underwriter" and this nib doesn't work at all for me. I will include some cartridges with the pen. This has been inked once, tested, then flushed and put away in my pen case. Shipping is, as mentioned above, $4.95. My price: $85.

2) Skyline "Yellow Cab" pen with taxi, box, and paperwork. The nib is an F. This is the complete package in like-new condition. I have inked the pen once to test its flow then have flushed it and put it away. I'm selling this because I have another one. This pen uses the "captive convertor" fill system. Since this pen includes the box, I will have to ship it in a larger shipping container. shipping will be an additional $9.95. My price is $90.

3) YAFA pen set. This consists of a fountain pen with a steel nib. The size isn't marked, but it writes like a Medium. C/C fill. The other instrument is one of the rollerball pens that uses fountain pen ink. Never used. This set comes with a small YAFA box.

My price is $25 (plus shipping)

4) Sailor Sapporo with rhodium trim. The nib is the ZOOM nib. The pen comes with a convertor. This is a very nice instrument but

it's just too small for my hand. My price is $90 plus shipping.

5)Rotring Artpen. An excellent pen, but I just don't use it enough to keep it. The steel nib is an F. This has been used but not very much. My price is $25 plus shipping.

This is enough for one message. More to come. Stay tuned.

One more thing: International shipping will be determined on a case by case basis.

PM me if you're interested in any of these. Thanks for looking.
