| COMMENTS: Prototype
VP with lined barrel, unmarked nib and gold tone "VP" on the cap. The
generic gripping section does have a crack in the plastic near
the clutch, but the key barrel, nib and cap features are superb. Only
one i've seen. Spent some time showing it to Susan Wirth, who
collects this era more actively than do I. Truly rare pen. |

COMMENTS:
Best Condition/Color Lapis Duofold i have owned (I own a few nice
ones). The pen is mint. It is superb. It does not have a functioning
sac.. It may not be returned if inked or dipped. Absolutely stunning
pen. If you really want a sac tossed in, i will ask Ron Zorn to place
one next week, and please add $20 to price. |

| COMMENTS: The Coronet in full GF perhaps is the most "deco" pen to come out of the 1930's. Pencils not so easy to find either. This one is acceptable, though hardly near mint. NO frank dings, it has scattered pin marks. the chrometone cone shows some brassing and light scratches. Pencil works well. Clip is nice and tight. | |||

| COMMENTS: Where to start??? OK. This is the earliest style physician's set catalogued for the 100-Year, and is the second style produced in any 100-Year pen. Triple set has Pen, Pencil and Thermometer Case. This one is perfect regarding the three pieces. The Thermometer certificate correlates to the thermometer including in the thermometer case, It is noted that the presentation case is not perfect. The platform holding the pens no longer is attached to the metal internal hinge, so must be moved to the propped position by hand. Top satin is discolored. The warranty paper no longer adheres. May not be returned if inked or dipped. Original Sac. Might fill. | |||

| COMMENTS: This long, thin pen with an octagonal (though not a regular octagon) borrows some features from Doric, as well as the bulb-filler seen on other Wahl pens such as Bantam and some Oxfords. Not so common in clean condition. | |||

| COMMENTS: Waterman
Hard Rubber presents a bewildering array of models, variants and model
numbers, when the collector is faced with multiple colors, sizes,
filling systems and overlays. Suffice it to say, that starting in
1917, the safety pens (dial out nib, eyedropper fill) pens were part of
the "40's" or "4X" series, with the final integer representing the nib
size. The 42 has a #2 nib. That's what this one is. A superb pen with rich smooth Hard Rubber without any texturizing effect from overpolishing. Great imprint. Nice nib. |

| COMMENTS: The
dedicated Parker striped Duofold desk pen is far less common than ais
the Parker Vacumatic desk pen- itself not so common. I've probably
seen or handled ten during the last 9 years. This one has the
blue-diamond barrel band and the correct "V" nib. It has a 1942+
plastic filler unit. A nice find for the serious collector of striped
Duofold. |

Pen 1675 Sheaffer Balance Roseglow Deluxe Standard Set. 1937

Size:
5 3/8" by 1/2" |
PRICE: $450 |
| COMMENTS: On the
whole, Roseglow is the Balance color today of greatest value and
of highest cachet. Most sizes seem to have been produced just a year or
so, vs 5 years for other striped colors. The vertically lined "Milled"
or "Deluxe" Cap-band is a well recognized but uncatalogued variant that appears on perhaps one in every fifty Balances from
the years it was produced. This set is variably described as
"Standard", "Fat Standard", "Slender Oversized". It is the second largest size. This is the
non-lifetime form and packs a nice semi-flex correct Sheaffer "Feather Touch"
nib. The mix of Roseglow and the Deluxe cap-band in a
large matching pen and pencil set makes for a nifty set. I collect Roseglow and
have probably 20 variants in my own collection. |

| COMMENTS: Estie purse pens have come into their own and are appreciated for their charming pastel colors, high quality, reasonable price point, and readily swappable nib assemblies. This one is a primo bright (light) yellow with perfect color in pristine condition. The travel purse pouch is more scarce than the pen and- in my admittedly somewhat limited exposure to Esties- is the only yellow/black i've handled. Fun Stuff. May not be returned if inked or dipped | |||

| COMMENTS: Mabie-todd is another high quality make that during the golden age was not quite as big as the Big-5. With strong branches in the USA and in England, many verrrrry pretty Mabies lurk out there. This one is a large clip pen, well less common than the little ring-tops. This one is a charmer, packing a circumferential engine-turned pattern quite different from what is found on most other makes. I like this one. | |||
