Pen 3446: Esterbrook Purse Pen Pair $100
From Vacumania's Basement |
|||
 |
|||
| Comment: Estie pastel Purse Pens are popular with collectors. The white pen is pretty clean, and is popular with collectors, though without red jewels I believe this does not qualify as a "Nurse's Pen". The dark yellow (less common than light yellow) has multiple hairline/stress cracks in cap lip. Unrestored. No function warranty. Basement pens. | |||

Pen 3447: Five Sheaffers $160
Marine Marbled Balance Standard and 4 1950 Sheaffer Admirals. All with 14k Nibs. |
|||
 |
|||
| COMMENTS: Priced about at Nib Value. Some might fill. All have intact gold Sheaffer nibs. The Marine Green Balance would run >$200 alone in excellent restored condition. Has name in barrel and some wear. Some of the Admirals with toothmarks as shown. Practice your resacing, nib adjustment and so forth, with five vintage gold-niibbed Sheaffers. One black pen looks to have a sprung clip. Unrestored. No function warranty. Basement pens. |

Pen 3448: 3 Sheaffer Fountain Pens $100
FROM VACUMANIA'S BASEMENT. |
|||
 |
|||
| COMMENTS: Slender Flat-top in black celluloid from 1920's, Marine Green Striated ladies pen, lever filler, clean trim, personalization of barrel as seen in picture. Black Sheaffer Sentinel Tuckaway, nice lean Triumph two-tone gold nib. All pens with gold nibs. No doubt has some dings. Practice your resacing, nib adjustment and so forth. Unrestored. No function warranty. Basement pens. |
|
Pen 3449: Sheaffer Imperial and Compact $115
From Vacumania's Basement |
|||
 |
|||
| COMMENTS: The two black Imperials are cartridge/converter. The gray Compact- somewhat popular today probably for those clear barrel windows, is cartridge only, though I have vague recollection Ron Zorn might have tracked down some extra-short converters that can fit. All with triumph nib gold points. Converters not included with this bunch. 3 gold nibs. Unrestored. No function warranty. Basement pens. |

Clutch: Perfect | clarity: NA | |
| Point: Med | Imprint: NA | Size: 5 3/18" 13.6 cm |
PRICE: $80 |
| COMMENTS: 1) Intact Fine condition Parker "Super 21" (i think that's it), the 21 with lined cap and gold tone clip. Aero filler. Function not tested, probably works. Couple pin dings to cap. Better than many worse than some 2) VENUS. Probably late 1960's when had Esterbrook affiliation. Takes estie nib units. Clean metal cap. Significant wear to barrel but should polish to decent state. 3) Esterbrook later item cartridge pen metal cap. Nice shape could use barrel polish. additionally... a pile of stuff. Many but not all have nibs. Couple missing butts. One OS orange Empire. WATERMAN Taperite Era (?Skywriter) with Star cap with couple dings but decent part donor. Horribly cracked barrel. Pretty pencil that looks like it could match an exotic CS Dinky, but who knows. A few salvageable pens. Some junk. Practice your resacing and nib tweaking. Again not all have nibs, but I think you will be more than happy, given that a cleaned up Super 21 worth a good chunk of entry price. Unrestored. No function warranty. Basement pens. |

| Nib condition:
Exc |
Threads: Perfect | clarity: NA | |
| Point: Fine (nearly XF) | Imprint: NONE* | Size: 5 5/8" 14.2cm |
PRICE: $65 |
| COMMENTS: Snorks gave Parker 51 a toe-to-toe run for the money during the 1950's. Cap has one small ding to right of clip. Barrel lacks imprint (pretty clean barrel- whether never had imprint or was polished away at some point, I cannot say). Writes well and of course fully restored. Figure with the modest ding and missing imprint, I'll toss this one in the "Basement". | |||
