Paired Nib, Feed, And Sections




#2 Accountant in a 52 1/2 v Red Ripple nib, feed, and section  $45
extra fine, firm nib



#18 Emblem Pen nib feed and section.  $75
i believe this to be the oversize nib, its 34MM long
slight-semi flex nib, broad tipping.  it does not flex much, but it flexes easily.  

1930's "Waterman's Ideal" nib feed and section.  $35
faint flex, medium point
i have no idea what this goes to so i am marking it down fairly cheep.  
its section is larger than a 52 section, it fits snuggly on a 55 section, 
and the nib is sized right for a 54 or a 55
it would probably be ideal for use in a custom pen.

Whole Pens


Diamond Point P&P Set - $30
unrestored with some major problems
the cap is totally shot, you could still pull the clip off and use it as a part.
there is a little swelling by the lever box.
and most importantly, the nib hooks to the right like it has been dropped on the floor.



Restored Eagle "Lightning" - $50
works like a matchstick filler
has a custom replacement marbled acrylic band
no eagle imprints, but the filling mechanism identifies the maker.
the pen has been personalized and has some oxidization.






Restored Parker lady duofold - $30
the pen is discolored, has brassing, has what looks like little toothmarks, and really takes a ton of force to fill



1950's Wearever double miniature ball point set - $10
case is scratched and dusty, but it looks like it has never been used.
i did not test the pens to see if they work.

hand crafted desk pen base

Awhile ago i posted about my broken sheaffer desk pen, i absolutely loved this thing.  some vintage pens can be a little fiddly, but this one just worked perfectly every time.  thats why i was so sad when the trumpet broke.  the other day i decided to do something about it.  so i made this desk pen base from a beautifully shaped piece of scrap wood.

jif waterman pencil


good news! i finally found out that this hallmark is actually just says "DoublĂ©e Or laminĂ©" which roughly translates to gold plated.
