| COMMENTS: OK. So when i buy collections, sometimes i end up with near-modern pens too. Hey, it happens. This one utilizes Visconti's "Power filler" plunger mechanism. The pen is mint unused. Retailed around $650, but this one is just the pen. No Box etc. Beautiful big modern pens. | |||

| COMMENTS: Very funky pen, with matching ends, arrow clip and big Mabie Swan nib. I picked this one up at Brimfield a few years back. Only pen i've ever seen in this plastic, one not shown in the recent Mabie book. Very clean plastic. Sharp imprint. The clip is white metal, which i'm guessing indicates loss of prior gold wash. The capband has brassing along the edges. The lever is brassed. The lever slot is slightly spread. Smooth writer and very pretty pen. Probably worth the price of entry just for the nib. | |||

| COMMENTS: Known best for some glorious overlay eyedropper-fill pens from twenty years earlier, Aikin Lambert eventually came under the ownership of LE Waterman and took on a rather Waterman-ish look, though often featuring smaller nibs than similar Waterman-branded pens. This one is rather clean. No clip brassing. The plastic has an area of translucency opposite the clip, but the color overall is sound. Most jade has discolored well more than this. Big pen. | |||

About the most significant Conklin offered yet at Vacumania.com.
An
oversized Herringbone in black celluloid with perfect white trim. This
one is OS but is a variant not showing any word guage numbers on
side.
Working order. Neat nib. A pen not easy to find at all, never
mind in
clean shape. |

| COMMENTS: A significant pen for collectors of Conklin. An early Endura Symetrik demonstrator with clear barrel. Pen is sound but worn. A personal name is neatly stamped in barrel. The cap has on gouge near the crescent (can see in pic). Note, i cleaned up some of the dust and polish powder showing in the pic by the clip. True Demos generally were not intended for sale. Pen will need the nozac filler restored if he wishes to fill it. | |||

snorkel-filling
mechanism. The "V" features a gold-fillec cap and blindcap plate and a
solid gold nib. Blue is second in cachet only to gray. |
