My favorite vintage pens are Moore Pens. I am including a photo of four of my Moore Pens; the first is an L-34, the second a Maniflex, the third is my L-92, and the last my Non Leakable (the vintage pen that started my love for vintage pens). I have quite a few other vintage pens but the Moores have a special place in my collection because of their wonderful nibs. I think the L-92 is my favorite pen of all the pens in my collection. It is a very basic pen and It isn't the prettiest because it has some fading but the nib is fantastic, giving me wonderful hairlines and an easy flex. I love using it for correspondence because it gives me just enough line variation to give my handwriting just that little bit extra.

 

I'm including more than one because I didn't have a photo of just the L-92.

Most of my collecting effort goes into 1940-1960, but I have one in that range - a 1935-1942 Sheaffer Balance.

I think the vast majority of my vintage pens are from the 20s - 30s. Here are two 1930s celluloid pens, a Radius Extra button filler in rose marble and a Chilton Long Island #94 in sea green swirl.

It was listed as a '31-32...could be. Is a no name of great quality...Croatian?

 

In that it has an ink window I think it could be 1939'40 German.

 

It has the sharpest of my chasing on my BHRC pens. No line of ever having a cap ring/ rilled war pen. Real nice fancy clip.

Needs a new cork, would have to dig out the 'no name' nib ...but it hadn't given me any clues...a friction feed.

 

They have been screwing around with photobucket so much it don't really work any more. Sorry.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

That would be my favorite, too, if I had seen such lovely examples.

Which models are they?

This is my recently restored Morrison 14k Gold Flat Top, not sure of the exact date but it's from sometime between the 20's-40's :)
