Pen Sales Update

These last few months have been extremely busy for me, and I have not been able to devote much time- really none at all- to pens. When things aren't updated regularly, people loose interest and the chances of me actually selling things go down even further!

If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to email me at wkkimball043@gmail.com!


Parker "51" Aerometric Teal

This is a Parker "51" in teal with the Aerometric filler. I believe that it is a later pen based on the lack of a date code. There is not much to say about this pen other than it is almost flawless. The person who owned it before I did bought the pen from one of Richard Binder's monthly pen tray, and it is still in gorgeous shape. 
This pen is $80+$5.80 for Priority mail shipping in the U.S. 

There is a one year workmanship warranty on my pens. If there are any issues with my workmanship- such as the sac- I will fix it. This does not include problems from user error such as bad pen hygiene, the buyer disassembling the pen, issues with the mechanics or materials of the pen, the buyer dropping the pen, user error or any other issue by my own discretion. 
In the U.S. I use Priority mail flat rate boxes for my pens because they come with tracking and $50 worth of insurance. If you want a different method, please contact me. 
International buyers, please contact for shipping quote. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me at  regarding more information or pictures!
First "I'll take it" gets the pen, regardless of other conversations.

Parker Challenger 1941

Here we have a 1941 Parker Challenger in the blue color. 
This is a really gorgeous pen that has taken me months to decide to sell. The only real flaws with this pen are that the cap band is brassed and the barrell is very slightly discolored. Otherwise, the pen is in great shape and writes excellently with a very springy/slightly flexie medium gold nib. 
The pen has been fully restored and cleaned and is ready to write for years to come. 
I got this pen for a very good price, so I am passing that on to you. 

This pen is $50+$5.80 for Priority mail shipping in the U.S.

Sheaffer Jr. Carmine red



I found this pen stuck up in an antique store display case that I missed on my first pass, in a Parker box. I got it home and realized that I'd stumbled onto a gorgeous pen that I would keep for myself save for the fact that it's just too small for my hand, so up for sale it goes.

It is in great condition. There are a few nicks in the pen, and you can see where the cap was posted, but overall the pen is in wonderful cosmetic shape. the section is ambered but is see-through.

The pen has been taken apart, cleaned and re-sacced.
I'm asking $50 + $5.80 for shipping in the U.S. for this pen.

There is a one year workmanship warranty on my pens. If there are any issues with my workmanship- such as the sac- I will fix it.

Eversharp Skyline Demi w/ Stubbish nib

Eversharp Skyline demi size in Dubonnet red with a green and black striped cap.

This pen is in good condition, though it does show a few wear marks: the sides of the clip are brassed, there are a couple of gouges in the cap (from the clip hitting it to hard possibly), the derby is worn and there is some wear on the lever.

Mechanically, the pen has been restored and is in 100% working condition.
 The star of this pen is the very nice stubbish nib. I wouldn't call it a full stub, but it definately has some line variation, and even more can be brought out when more pressure is used. Take a look at the writing sample (done with Waterman Florida Blue)

I'm asking only $55+$5.80 for shipping in the U.S.

Parker Vacumatic Golden Pearl 2nd Q 1942

1942 Parker Vacumatic in Golden pearl. This is actually the first one of these that I've ever come across, and while blue is still my favorite Vacumatic color, in sunlight this pen really is a beauty.

It has no major scratches or personalizations and while the barrel is ambered, it is nice and clear.
There is somewhat of a ring where the cap lip has rubbed, but overall the pen is in great shape! The imprint is nice and clear and gives the date of the 2nd quarter of 1942.

The only thing that I am unsure about on this pen is that the clip is gold and the cap bands are silver. I'm not sure if it came like this, but I did not replace the clip!

The pen has been fully disassembled and restored and has a new diaphragm.

This pen is $100 + $5.80 for shipping in the U.S.

------- NOTE: If you purchase this and the pencil that matches it, I will give a discount!
