9415	Conklin	10 Special	black hard rubber #1-size slip-cap crescent-filler, 12.9 cm long, nickel plated trim, imprints clear and strong; a rare and elusive model, to our knowledge not documented in any surviving catalog or advertisement -- many Conklin collectors are not even aware that Conklin made a #1-size pen	c. 1905	broad italic	fine	$950
9635	Conklin	2	black hard rubber slip-cap crescent-filler, gold filled trefoil filigree overlay, 12.8 cm long; very clean early pen, narrow feed, teardrop vent hole in nib, unmarked crescent; only significant flaws are tool marks on the crescent and a crack in the hard rubber at the very top of the cap -- otherwise near mint	c. 1910	extra-fine	fine-exc*	$700

9579	Esterbrook	Relief 314	black chased hard rubber slip-cap eyedropper-filler, 13.6 cm long, fully Esterbrook-marked, but clearly manufactured by Wirt; 14K gold ventless Relief nib, characteristic bottom-vented Wirt feed. Flanged section is odd: does not fit the barrel perfectly, and is unlike usual Wirt eyedropper-filler sections, yet is of unusual form characteristic of other Wirt models. Wirt-made Esterbrooks are rare -- this is the first example we've had in over ten years	c. 1910	fine oblique	fine-exc	$800
9286	Esterbrook	lever-filler	hard to find long, slender "V-clip" in black, 12.6 cm long, stainless steel trim; bold deep imprints, light toothiing at ends, otherwise clean.

10196	Eversharp	Doric	oversize black first-generation lever-filler, 14.7 cm long, gold filled trim, Gold Seal, roller clip, massive Gold Seal manifold nib, screw-in Personal Point nib assembly, feed marked "B" for broad; black is one of the less common Doric colors	c. 1931	medium broad	fine	$1200
10278	Eversharp	Doric	oversize dark grey pearl "Burma" first-generation lever-filler, 14.6 cm long, white gold filled trim, roller clip, Gold Seal, Personal Point nib unit with big Gold Seal "FLEXIBLE"-marked nib. A fine example with well-defined facets and negligible posting wear to the barrel, sealed cap lip hairlines, so cap should be posted with care, if at all	c. 1931	medium flex	fine*	$1000
10057	Eversharp	Doric	facetted lavender pearl web plunger-filler, 12.5 cm long, gold filled trim, Gold Seal, smooth and flexible #7 adjustable nib (slider controls degree of flexibility) with ink shutoff valve.

10150	Eversharp	Skyline "Command Performance" set in box	classic wartime lever-filler, 13.3 cm long, with matching 1.1 mm injector pencil, both in solid 14K gold; both are engraved but undinged, though pencil has a couple of extremely shallow fleabites if examined closely under reflecting light. Pen is unusual variant with blunt barrel end, deep finger recess at lever end -- weight is nearly 2 grams greater. Nib has a large tip, but behaves like a medium semi-stub. Box includes original price card; guarantee, oddly enough, is for a Fifth Avenue rather than a Skyline set. Asking price is less than $100 over current gold value	c. 1943	broad flex	exc	$1200
9255	Eversharp	Symphony	black lever-filler, 14 cm long, polished stainless steel cap, gold filled trim, mint in box, pen in original cellophane sleeve, price sticker reads "Model/701/$5.00", nib grade sticker, "Manifold/Coarse"; sac has not been replaced, outer plain cardboard box lacks lid	c. 1950	broad rigid	mint	$150

Davison	dip pen and paper knife set in box	unmarked pen with gold filled ferrule, spiral-cut pearl taper with inset gold filled twisted wire and ball finial, 13 cm long excluding rather toothy Davison #2 gold nib; matching pearl paper knife in scimitar form is 8.2 cm long, both in plush case with usual external wear	c. 1895	fine flex	exc	$200
7202	Mabie Todd	Swan	gold filled fine barleycorn eyedropper-filler, 13.4 cm long, over and underfeed, early markings for Mabie Todd & Bard (1888 last patent date), engraved "DR. E. DALTON" in indicia; metal looks like solid	c. 1890	medium stub flex	exc-near mint	$695
10205	Mabie Todd	Swan set in box	beautiful and solid New York-made lever-filler in 1/5 18K gold filled, 13.1 cm long, crisp rings chasing pattern (usually found on Edward Todd pens, but very uncommon for Mabie Todd). Matching 1.1 mm Fyne Poynt pencil, both pieces bear a neatly engraved 1928-dated inscription on their indicias. Nib is set tight, so writes a very fine line, but the tip is large enough that it could be adjusted to a medium fine if opened up. Set is like new with attractive age toning, no brassing but usual Mabie Todd seam lines visible where end caps soldered on pen	c. 1928	extra-fine semiflex	near mint	$685
9409	Maywood	lever-filler	large red hard rubber flat-top, 13.8 cm long, gold filled trim, solidly-made second-tier pen, minimal wear, fine stable cap lip hairline and rim flea bite (see detail); although the original nib was certainly warranted, the present warranted #4 nib -- smooth and of excellent quality -- is a replacement; cap can be posted without causing the lip hairline to open	c. 1925	medium broad semiflex	fine-exc*	$250
7247	Moore	Non-Leakable	black chased hard rubber retracting-nib safety, 13.6 cm long, scarce large model (14.6 mm diameter at cap and sleeve), original model band on cap, sleeve end marked "5 50", "QUICK TURN" cap imprint; new old stock, has been recorked, replacement #6 warranted nib	c. 1919	fine semiflex	near mint	$425

9247	Parker	30	black hard rubber eyedropper-filler, 13.7 cm long, gold filled overlay with scrollwork and diamond pattern, one of Parker's most expensive gold filled pens at the time, catalogued at $10. Rare, short-lived Lucky Curve feed with side cutouts, responsive Lucky Curve nib; metalwork crisp, name on indicia, a few marks on the posting end, but much better than usually seen, tiny hairline in section mouth underneath nib (see detail)	c. 1904	fine flex	fine-exc*	$2950

9777	Parker	61 in box	black hard rubber eyedropper-filler with full overlay, 12.9 cm long, intact Lucky Curve feed, #3 Lucky Curve nib, very clean condition with strong imprints, no dings, initials "MS" engraved on cap. Described in Parker's 1914 catalog: "Barrel, cap and nozzle entirely covered with 18K gold. There is something about the plainness of this pen that makes it very pleasing to the eye." Cannot guarantee gold content, but no evidence of brassing (old ink in photos of section is not corrosion; has been cleaned off since). Much less common than more ornate contemporary models such as the 62. Box leatherette hinge only partly intact	c. 1914	fine flex	exc	$2650
10045	Parker	66 Jack-Knife Safety	black hard rubber ringtop button-filler, acid-etched sterling silver overlay with hand-engraved detailing, 11.7 cm long; Heath mark on barrel overlay (less common indented diamond form), replacement blind cap lacks "66" imprint, initials on indicia, #3 Lucky Curve nib opens up with light pressure; an uncommon pattern, in unusually good condition	c. 1915	medium fine superflex	VG-fine	$865

Bold imprints, strong chasing, hard rubber dark and glossy, one scratch across bottom of barrel, name engraved on barrel. Intact Lucky Curve feed, #5 Lucky Curve nib has slight ruler wear to side, opens up widely with light pressure, though tipping somewhat toothy	c. 1918	medium superflex	exc	$450
10028	Parker	Duofold Senior	black button-filler, 14.1 cm long, gold filled trim, rare and desirable original broad oblique Duofold nib; underside of tip is more rounded than sharp-edged italic in profile, but plenty of tipping material present for regrinding if desired	c. 1926	broad oblique	fine	$685
9467	Parker	Vacuum Filler	rare uncatalogued full-size model, 12.8 cm long, with extra-wide stripes of red pearl and translucent blue, barrel laminate is red pearl and transparent, with fine transparency. Some roughness to cap bands, but plating of clip is excellent -- unusual for this model. The two-way turnup nib is two-tone and bears the early arrow with a single-line central rib; good barrel imprints, name on barrel as well. Too rare to have been a production item, this model -- sometimes dubbed the "Ripley" Vacumatic, after the only known contemporary illustration in print in a "Ripley's Believe It or Not" cartoon -- appears to have been made as a market test, and is also known with Vacumatic imprints.	c. 1932	extra-fine	fine	$1250
9570	Parker	Vacuum Filler	rare proto-Vacumatic, silver pearl laminate, 12.3 cm long, white gold filled trim, striped jewels, metal lockdown filler, barrel imprint much stronger than usual, plating on two-tone turn-up nib nearly perfect, early arrow on nib with single center line on feathers; unusually, the section and the barrel are not made from one piece of stock, but from two -- although they appear to have been permanently welded together. Sac has been removed to preserve color, can be installed upon request at no charge	c. 1932	extra-fine	fine-exc	$625
10236	Parker	Golden Arrow (?)	very early red pearl laminate lockdown-filler, 12.2 cm long, gold filled trim, two cap bands, one-piece section-barrel construction, two-tone nib with single central rib on arrow; rare barrel imprint with no mention of model name, no date code. Only a handful of these pens are known, and it seems most likely that they either predate the original Golden Arrow or immediately postdate it, prior to its renaming as the Vacuum Filler (discussion here). Condition is mixed, with hardly any wear and crisp imprints, but with a couple of cap lip cracks and a partial circumferential hairline under the clip where two laminations appear to have separated due to age shrinkage over the inner cap (see details). Notable super-broad factory italic nib, name engraved on barrel. Sac has been removed to preserve color	c. 1932	broad italic	VG-fine*	$950
6906	Parker	Duofold Senior Deluxe set	black lined pearl button-filler with matching 1.1 mm pencil, gold filled trim, triple bands, pen is 13 cm long with big firm Duofold Deluxe nib, comb feed is a slightly later (later '30s on) upgrade; both pen and pencil bear a personalized inscription with 1934 date, color is notably good, pen has been equipped with a silicone sac to preserve color	c. 1934	extra-fine firm	fine-exc	$685
10139	Parker	Vacumatic Junior	grey pearl marbled, 12.2 cm long, chrome plated trim, fine barrel transparency, bold imprint with 3rd quarter date code; nib has a later date code, but what a nib! Smooth and sharp-edged, with dramatic and effortless line width variation	1935	broad italic semiflex	exc	$350
10111	Parker	button-filler	unusual long, slender, Duofold-style pen in jade green with gold filled trim, 12.6 cm long -- full-length, but Juniorette thickness. Typical barrel darkening, but only moderate wear; long-tined nib provides a nicely shaded line	c. 1935	fine flex	fine	$245
10197	Parker	Vacumatic	silver pearl laminate, 12.9 cm long, chrome plated trim, good barrel transparency, clearly legible 1st quarter date code, excellent plating on two-tone turnup nib; as advertised, writes a fine line when used upside-down	1935	broad semiflex	fine-exc	$325
10108	Parker	Duofold Junior	streamlined button-filler in Burgundy (red pearl and black), 12 cm long, gold filled trim; name on barrel, posting mark and gouge (see details), short barrel threads hairline has been sealed. Still an attractive classic pen, and a good user	c. 1935	extra-fine	G-VG*	$125
10106	Parker	Duofold Juniorette	small burgundy (red pearl and black) streamline button-filler, 11.4 cm long, gold filled trim, made in Canada, typically Canadian flat-bottomed feed, later English-made Duofold nib has flex but over a limited range; uncommon triple cap band with wider central band, overall condition excellent but for scratching to barrel	c. 1936	medium fine flex	fine	$160
9462	Parker	Duofold Junior set	burgundy (red and black marbled) pearl button-filler, 12 cm long, gold filled trim, with matching 1.1 mm pencil; pencil more worn than pen, pen has minimal wear, but scoring and nicks around the imprint (see detail) -- and a truly fantastic Duofold nib, sharp-edged but smooth, bearing a 1st quarter 1936 date code	c. 1936	extra-broad italic semiflex	VG-fine*	$345
10199	Parker	Vacumatic Oversize	green pearl laminate, 13.6 cm long, gold filled trim, good transparency, strong barrel imprint with 4th quarter date code, big two-tone nib with minimal plating wear, striped section and jewels, lockdown filler	1936	extra-fine	exc-near mint	$685
10215	Parker	Vacumatic	silver pearl laminate, 12.7 cm long, chrome plated trim, striped jewels and section, lockdown filler, very rare special order nib denoted by two gold stars on either side; two-tone nib is very fine-tipped, with tight-sprung action, feed is also unusual, with "B" mark and unusually widely-spaced fins. Good barrel transparency, typical plating roughness, corrosion to filler plunger (works fine), barrel imprint strong but without date code; date code on nib "16"; slight shrinkage to cap over threads can be felt more than seen	c. 1936	extra-fine flex	VG-fine	$425
5580	Parker	Vacumatic Junior	small grey pearl marbled, 12 cm long, chrome plated trim, outstanding barrel transparency, roughness to cap band plating, bold imprint with 4th quarter date code, lockdown filler, 1946 date code on Arrow nib	1937	extra-fine semiflex	fine-exc	$245
10133	Parker	Duofold Senior	orange streamline button-filler, 13.1 cm long, gold filled trim, late production, with clip lacking patent date, celluloid ends, arrow nib, and comb feed. No barrel imprint, but does not appear to have been worn off: the pen does not show the usual signs of polishing -- all trim is unbrassed, and sharp edges are still sharp. Minor usage marks to barrel, barrel thread hairline has been invisibly repaired, mouth internally sleeved with brass is stronger than new. Nib is smooth and extraordinarily flexible, opening up widely with light pressure	c. 1939	fine superflex	exc*	$695
9153	Parker	Vacumatic Sub-Debutante	unusual green pearl laminate, 11.9 cm long, nonstandard chrome plated trim, barrel imprint worn but partially legible, fine barrel transparency. Green Vacs normally came with gold filled trim	c. 1945	extra-fine	fine	$200
9156	Parker	Vacumatic Debutante	small green pearl laminate, 12 cm long, gold filled trim, Blue Diamond clip, geometric pattern cap band, strong imprint with 1st quarter date code, excellent barrel transparency, aluminum Speedline filler (not uncommon on early 1942 single-jewel pens)	c. 1945	extra-fine	exc	$200
10137	Parker	Vacumatic	uncommon black Canadian model, 13.3 cm long, gold filled trim, like a long Major, but with non-Blue-Diamond clip of typically Canadian form. Good imprint with large date code, fine barrel transparency, very fine nib has slightly later (or earlier?) date code, good for writers with a light touch	1946	extra-fine	VG*	$165

9982	Sheaffer	lever-filler	black hard rubber with gold filled foliate filigree overlay, 13.6 cm long; hard rubber is glossy and only slightly faded, metalwork crisp, noting initials on indicia, #2 nib has what appears to be a superficial manufacturing flaw, a sort of blister-crack running through the "2" of the imprint, but is a very good writer and functionally perfect; narrow feed, raised narrow barrel threads -- a fine example of a very early Sheaffer overlay	c. 1916	medium fine flex	fine-exc	$1100
1208	Sheaffer	Self-Filling	scarce extra-slender gold filled full overlay lever-filler, 11.8 cm long, finely engine-turned panels; "A.C.P.E." rather crudely engraved on indicia, somewhat toothy but very flexible #1 Sheaffer nib	c. 1918	fine flex	VG-fine	$250

8733	Wahl	Signature	full-size jade green lever-filler, 13.7 cm long, gold filled trim, short-lived configuration with black trim ring on cap and black ends, very hard to find this early green celluloid without severe discoloration; silicone sac has been installed to preserve color, but this pen is not recommended as a user	c. 1927	fine flex	exc	$600

9470	Wahl-Eversharp	Equi-Poised	solid orange celluloid lever-filler, 13.2 cm long, gold filled trim, Gold Seal, roller clip, 18K Gold Seal Signature nib. This color -- "Danish red" -- was made only for export to Denmark and is rarely seen, with most surviving pens in deplorable condition. Cap is very clean, easily excellent to near mint, barrel shows wear at the end (apparently from polishing), crack in barrel threads has been skilfully repaired (raking light photo greatly exaggerates the repair's visibility)	c. 1931	medium broad stub flex	fine*	$1500

Pencil has one age hairline on back behind clip, pen has small stress cracks at end of lever slot, in both cases there is a metal lining underneath.

9986	Waterman	412½ POC Oriental	clipless black hard rubber screw-cap eyedropper-filler, sterling silver overlay, 12.7 cm long; the hand-engraved "Oriental" pattern is uncommon enough on lever-fillers, but this eyedropper-filler version is extremely rare. Distinctive Ferris-patent feed with cutout tail, very flexible #2 nib gives great line width variation with light pressure, imprints at barrel end bold and deep, noting some tool marks (see detail).

9758	Waterman	0554 LEC Gothic	black hard rubber lever-filler, 14 cm long, checkerboard pattern gold filled overlay extending the full length of the barrel (though barrel end marked simply 0554, without the usual "LEC"). A large and solidly-built pen, some plating wear to posting end, but no dings, engine turning crisp, especially on the barrel. #4 nib is a very uncommon "BALLPOINT"-marked model, with a radically turned-up tip and considerable flexibility, allowing use at virtually any angle (this nib was marketed to left-handers, among others). The nib does have a hairline crack on its upper surface, but this does not appear to extend through the entire thickness of the metal	c. 1923	broad flex	fine-exc*	$700

9818	Waterman	7 Ripple	near-legendary Ripple hard rubber lever-filler with Toledo-work overlay, 14.4 cm long, Red band at cap top with matching Red keyhole-vent nib. Though the other components are in excellent condition, the iron-based overlay has large patches of deep corrosion. Never released in the USA, the Toledo 7 appears to have been sold only through a few high-end European retailers. Only a handful of examples are known -- many badly worn or corroded -- making this the rarest 7 of all. We have priced this pen at a fraction of what a fully intact version would fetch	c. 1929	medium flex	fair*	$1400
8746	Waterman	combination	Ripple hard rubber lever-filler, 14 cm long, gold filled trim, no brassing, excellent color, surface of cap slightly rippled; #2 nib very fine, toothy if pressed hard enough to open up significantly; outstanding specimen of a rare and uncatalogued model, from the estate of a former Waterman employee	c. 1929	extra-fine flex	fine-exc	$1250

Pen lever is post-globe style, but may be original -- it is fully 14K marked. #4 nib is a smooth and effortlessly elegant writer. Box has some internal staining; both pen and pencil have considerable heft -- there is over $400 worth of gold in the pen alone	c. 1933	extra-fine semiflex	fine*	$1650
8943	Waterman	Ink-Vue	"Silver Ray" lever pump-filler, 12.85 cm long, chrome plated trim, rare first model with simple unjointed lever, metal globe emblems at both ends; excellent transparency, slight ruler wear to side of #5 "PURPLE" keyhole-vent nib, light scratching to underside of Tip-Fill feed (a later '30s replacement); this model appears to have been in production for only a few months	c. 1935	extra-fine firm	fine	$600

10078	Williamson	eyedropper-filler	black hard rubber slip cap, 13 cm long, gold filled filigree overlay appears nearly identical to a Parker 16. Somewhat toothy Williamson #3 nib, "AUTO" imprinted split feed; hard rubber is nice and dark, but cracks in cap lining under overlay (see detail); initials on barrel indicia, bumps to cap lip. An uncommon Parker-related pen, also made in Janesville, by a company apparently partially Parker-owned	c. 1910	fine superflex	VG*	$600
7554	Williamson	eyedropper	slender black hard rubber slip-cap with gold filled pierced overlay; 11.35 cm long, "AUTO" on distinctive Williamson feed; Williamson #1 nib has been retipped and a base crack repaired, surface portion of hairline through imprint has been left visible so as not to risk damage to the imprint; hard rubber under the overlay has been professionally dye-reblackened. The connections between Williamson and its Janesville, Wisconsin neighbor, Parker, are still being explored, but it is clear that there was considerable overlap in ownership and management, as well as some sharing of patents	c. 1910	medium fine flex	VG*	$325
10192	Wirt	eyedropper-filler	black hard rubber taper-cap with full gold filled filigree overlay, 14.3 cm long; #2 ventless Wirt nib with vented underfeed, initials on indicia, no brassing to overlay, hard rubber has been professionally reblackened, surface slightly rough in spots.
