I started out just collecting, so have accumulated a fair number of pens over the years.  Pretty pens, nice writing pens, and some unusual pens......  I'd have to agree that at times it was without focus.  It still is.

From time to time I will offer a  few of these nice vintage pens for sale.  Maybe an occasional modern too.
The pens will be rotated out every couple of weeks, so be sure to check back on a regular basis!

Pen #1130  Sheaffer "Stealth" Prelude  $55 (F)  $65 (S)
Condition:  NEW	Flaws:  none	Filler:  C/C -  converter included
Nib size:    Fine - 4 available       1.1 mm Left Oblique   - 1 available        1.1 mm straight  stub - one available	Imprint:  NA	Size:   5 1/4"
COMMENTS:   I've always liked the Prelude.  The pens have a nice solid feel, and the cap goes on with a solid click.  The "Stealth"  model has  a cool matte black  finish,  steel  nib, chrome trim ring on the section, black clip and cap band.   These are new old stock pens. There was one tray of the fountain pens left - I have 10 of the 18 or so complete pens.    The numbers in the nib size box show the current number of  pens with each nib size available.  No box.   When ordering please specify the nib size!

Pen #1140  Sterling Silver TD Imperial    Stub  $145
Condition:   excellent	Flaws:  small dent in top of cap to left of clip	Filler: Touchdown
Nib size:  14 K  STUB  nib	Imprint:  perfect	Size:  5 3/8"
COMMENTS:     The metal  Imperial was made in gold filled and sterling silver, in both cartridge/converter and Touchdown models.  This one is a TD -  new sac and  0 ring installed, using new, original Sheaffer parts.    Clean chasing in the pattern of the barrel.   A pen like this without the dent would sell in the $165 - $200 range.

Pen #1146  Sheaffer TD Imperial - STUB nib  $85
Condition:  as new	Metal:  perfect	Color black
Nib condition:  perfect	Flaws:  none	Filler:  touchdown
Nib size:  STUB	Imprint:  crisp	Size:  5 3/8"

Pen #1095 Eversharp Skyline -   $85
Over all condition:   fine	Metal:  some brassing on  lever and at end of  clip	Color:   navy blue and green
Nib  material:  14K gold	Flaws:  cap has some ambering	Filler:  lever
Nib size:  fine, firm		Size:  5 31/4"
COMMENTS:   This is the smaller size Skyline.  A nice clean pen, no cracks, tooth marks etc.  The derby is tight in the cap.

Pen #1115  Carmine 350 Jr Balance    $90  SOLD
Over all condition:  extra fine	Metal:  excellent	Color:  carmine red
Nib  material:  gold	Flaws:  none	Filler: lever
Nib size:  fine  #3	Imprint:  excellent	Size:   4 3/4"
COMMENTS:   About as good as they come.  Though a small pen, this pen is in excellent condition, with good transparency in the section, no brassing to the clip

Pen #1114 Parker  OS Vacumatic  1935    $225
Over all condition:  good	Metal: excellent	Color:  silver pearl
Nib  material:   gold	Flaws:  barrel color good, but transparency gone as it has ambered,  blind cap and blind cap jewel are black	Filler:  Vacumatic, lock down
Nib size:  fine	Imprint:  good	Size:  5 1/4"
COMMENTS:   An excellent entry level/user pen for someone who wants an oversize Vacumatic.  The original blind cap was corroded and frozen onto the filler,  and died an untimely death in trying to get the filler out.  The filler unit is a NOS filler (so it  isn't corroded),  and the blind cap, tassie, and jewel are also NOS.

Pen #1134  Moore   $150
Nib:  14K Maniflex nib	Metal:  perfect	Color  brown stripe
Nib condition:  perfect	Flaws:  NONE	Filler:  lever
Nib size: fine	Imprint:  good	Size:   5 3/8"
COMMENTS:    A 40s era Moore.    In nearly perfect condition, clean as can be, no cracks., no brassing.

Pen #1002  Waterman  0512 1/2 VPSF  $115
Nib:  14K  #2	Metal:  good	Color - Gold filled
Nib condition:  perfect	Flaws:  there are some dents in cap and in barrel end.	Filler:  lever
Nib size:  semi flex fine	Imprint:  good	Size:  3 3/4"
COMMENTS:   restored and in very good condition.  Except for the dents in the barrel end,  most are very small .  The VPSF (Vest Pocket Self Filler) nomenclature was used for just one year before being renamed the  0552 1/2V, the later being used for a run of about 10 years.

Pen #1071     Parker VS   $85
Grade:   fine	Metal: perfect, cap refrosted	Color :  gray
Nib condition:  perfect	Flaws:  none	Filler: button filler
Nib size:   extra fine	Imprint:    worn - the 1947 date code is visible, but that's all	Size:   5 1/4"
COMMENTS:      The VS was marketed by Parker as a lower cost alternative to the Parker 51.  It shares many of the same features - identical clutch ring, the cap and jewel are identical except for the clip.  The filler is an aluminum button filler, the nib 14K gold.  The feed on this VS is one of the clear feeds.  Interesting to see the bubbles travel up the slit in the feed as you write with the pen - the balance and magic of the feed system in action.

Pen #1093  Brown Parker LONG cap/barrel Vacumatic Major  1942  $175
Nib: two tone	Metal:  perfect	Color - brown
Nib condition:  perfect	Flaws:  none	Filler:  Vacumatic
Nib Size:  fine	Imprint:  good, fades a bit toward date code	Size:  5 1/4"
COMMENTS:    I showed this one to David Isaacson the other night after I picked this pen up.  His eyes immediately lit up, and he said "you know what's different about this pen??"  I of course didn't, but he caught it  right away.  It's an early  long cap, long barrel major.  i.e a first year (1942) long Major.    Put this pen up next to your typical major, and you'll find that both the cap and the barrel are a bit longer , adding up to maybe 1/4".  The barrel color on this one is a bit subdued, but the metal is absolutely perfect, and the  plating on the nib is still pretty decent., about 75%.    4th quarter 1942

Pen #1122   Sheaffer Saratoga -   $85
Grade:  fine	Metal:  perfect	Color :  burgundy
Nib:  monochrome 14K	Flaws:  none	Filler:  snorkel
Nib size:  marked X2 with a bit of spring to it.  Not enough to call it flex though!	Imprint:  excellent	Size:  5 1/8  "
COMMENTS:    One of the non-lifetime models,   from my early days of collecting., purchased as NOS.  Newly restored, and ready to be used.

Pen #1094  Sheaffer  - brown stripe  $70
Nib: #5 Feather Touch	Metal:  perfect	Color -brown
Nib condition:  perfect	Flaws:  cap ring on barrel	Filler:  lever
Nib size:  fine	Imprint:  sharp	Size:  4 7/8"
COMMENTS:   A sweet little pen, in excellent condition.  I would call this a Craftsman because of the design and the size, except that it came with a #5 Feather touch nib, which I assume was original.   An exceptionally clean pen.

Pen #1112    Sheaffer  Signature Snorkel   14K Cap band  $145
Nib:   two tone 14K	Metal:  perfect	Color:  black
