for Sale: August '08 Update See Pens for sale to find these pens and more grouped by brand and style Thanks
for peeking in. I rushed this update in midst of travels so
readers will have chance to claim some pens before I hit the D.C.
Fountain Pen Supershow next week (my highest volume show). The
disadvantage is that I likely will have one day to ship packages next
week and most will ship around August 20. So, if anything catches your
fancy, and you don't mind waiting couple weeks for shipping, do drop me
a line.
As always, flat "catalogue" shots show pens in same scale. "Sold" images are smaller. "Art" shots (angled pens, cased pens, etc) are not to scale. Also, likely will be couple days until I place the new pens into sections for individual manufacturers. Best Regards, David |

| COMMENTS: A pen well off my beaten path. Probably dates to around 1910. Aikin Lambert made some gorgeous overlays. The company eventually was absorbed by LE Waterman. This pen pops. Crisp overlay, clean glossy black hard rubber. Modest flex to the nib. | |||

| Nib condition: Exc |
Threads: Exc | clarity: | |
| Point: F-M responsive | Imprint: Exc | Size: 5 1/2" 13.9 cm |
PRICE: $225 |
| COMMENTS: Quality pen with nib a bit smaller than First Tier pens of this size. Webster likely was a store-brand (as with Diamond Medal for Sears), with some made by National and at least a couple made by Parker. Or so i believe... Clean pen with some brassing on lower cap-band opposite the clip and bit on clip-ball. Top bands and bulk of clip quite clean. Nice writer. | |||

| COMMENTS: Mid 1920's Mabie, demonstrating Mabie's penchant for off-the-beaten-path metal patterns. A mix of columns of squiggly lines, columns of straight lines, and splotches comprising many shorter lines, this one is just pretty. Has a neat flexy nib, too. | |||
