Conklin Goldfilled Ringtop Pencil, in Box with Original Ribbon and Hardware
We see a lot of ringtop pencils and we know that they were meant to hang from a
ribbon, but we don't very often see the ribbons -- they're quite delicate, and
don't often survive. Yet it's not always satisfactory to replace them with a
modern chain since it's heavier than the more suitable lightweight ribbon.
Here's the complete package: a 1920s Conklin pencil in rolled gold, in mint
condition with its original box, and including its original thin black grosgrain
ribbon with gilt fittings. You can hang it round your neck, just as originally
intended. Charming Greek-key pattern, initials 'MTT' in cartouche. Marked
'rolled gold'. Takes 1.1mm lead; point-actuated mechanism is working. A time
capsule.

Conklin 50, Big Crescent Filler, Wide Band---Fine, Extra-Flexible Conklin 5 Nib 1920s
Conklin 50 crescent filler in black chased hard rubber with gold filled trim.
Somewhat better than most 50s, since it has the wide gold filled band at the cap
lip. Not the largest size made, but in fact just as long, though not as fat, as
the biggest, the 75. It's still noticeably bigger than the Parker Duofold
Senior. The nib is huge, bigger than a Waterman 7 keyhole nib. This one is fine
and extra flexible, capable of fine hairlines (for an iridium-tipped fountain
pen) and wide swells. Very good condition with minor fading, some wear
(especially clip high points). The back of the donut has some scratched-in
repair notations. Restored and working with new sac installed. Length just over
5 5/8 inches.

Fairchild
No. 7 Dip Pen, Rare 'Bishop's Mitre' Integrated Barrel Nib -- Extra Fine, Ultra
Flexible Elegant
Fairchild dip pen c1880-1900, large No. 7 size with unusual integrated nib.
Charming checkerboard engraving. In the old ads they call this a 'barrel nib' --
the nib itself morphs into a barrel shape and attaches to the wooden taper
without the need of a separate ferrule piece. Another rare feature: 'Fairchild'
imprint on the inside of the nib. Wild. For pointed-pen
calligraphy, this type of pen is amazing. The fine hairlines can be as fine as a
steel dip nib -- like the pros use -- but the iridium tipping material makes it
smoother. Note the writing sample -- with pressure it's extremely wide, and the
fine lines are quite fine. It's not a fountain pen, though, so you do have to
dip. Or you can just stare at the thing. Excellent condition, with one small
flat spot on the ball-shaped part of the finial at the back of the taper. Length
about seven inches.

Swan
safety pen, late 1910s or early '20s, in black hard rubber. A large pen, and
being an early model, it has an extra large nib. Though only a No. 6, it dwarfs
the No. 8-size Parker Duofold Senior and Sheaffer Senior Lifetime nibs of the
mid- to late-'20s -- see the comparison photo. Fine point, firm, with a tiny bit
of flex. Overall very good condition, with nice strong imprints and some fading.
This pen features an authentic Swan nickel accommodation clip, with its
distinctive three-band shape. A transition in pen design: the pen has a screw-on
cap, and the section has a front flange that seals against the inner cap when
the cap is screwed on. This was an important development. But it's still an
eyedrop-filler. You unscrew the section to fill it. That's great for ink
capacity. An impressive pen. Length 5 7/8 inches.

The prettiest of the Vacumatic colors, I think, in the largest size. Double
jeweled Maxima, 1939, with striped top and bottom jewel, two tone Vac nib.
Excellent to near mint condition with crisp edges, no visible trim wear.
Beautiful, bright color. The nib is a fine point that actually has a little bit
of flexibility. Clear imprint with '9' date code and no dots -- fourth quarter
of 1939. Some minor surface scratches on the plastic, some scratches on the nib.
Barrel transparency is present but not dramatic. Restored and working with a new

Safety, Rare Overlay with Clip, Amazing Near Mint Condition, Flex Nib
Moore
safety pen, 1920s, with gold filled overlay in chevron pattern. Unusual even for
a Moore overlay, this pen has an original clip, giving it some extra
practicality. This no-ball design is correct for the seldom-seen Moore safety
clip.
Crisp engraving, no dents or dings, no brassing, some minor scratching from
cap-posting. With this overlay, it's one of the prettiest pens made -- and in
this condition, it looks just like it did when it left the shop. Fine to
medium point, flexible. Restored and working with new seals just installed.

Large Moore L-94, Chased Hard Rubber with
Rare Wide Engraved Band
The L-94 was one of Moore's larger pens, slightly bigger than an oversized
Sheaffer Lifetime flattop, fitted with the long and elegant Moore No. 4 nib
which, despite the lower number, is comparable to a Waterman 7. Here's an
unusual wide-banded chased model. The chased version of this pen, with no fancy
trim, was one of my first Moores, and I looked for a long time before I found
this one. Excellent condition with near perfect dark
hard rubber, minor wear to the chasing. The cap band is perfect, with crisp
engraving and initials 'TJW' in the cartouche. Two typical Moore flaws are
present---irritating, but neither affecting use: the short crack at one corner
of the lever slot, and the barely perceptible line coming up from the back of
the nib, into the '4'. The nib is fine and semiflexible, the typical
'Maniflex'-style. Restored and working with new sac installed. Length just under
5 3/8 inches.

Rubber with Top-and-Bottom Cap Bands
One of the coolest fountain pen

arrangement of two cap bands, one in the normal place and one at the top.
Excellent condition with minor fading to the hard rubber, near perfect gold

Filling nib, fine to medium point with moderate flexibility. Note the early

molten letter edges, crisp chasing, nice sharp '14k' imprints on band and clip,

The iconic Sheaffer flattop, complete with matching pencil, in black Radite
celluloid with gold filled trim. Some teethmarks in the pencil crown, but the
top is perfectly round -- very rare for these pencils. In fact, the pencil is
much harder to find than the pen. Matching period script owner's name 'J.A.

Sheaffer Lifetime,
Early Extra-Long Balance c1929, Perfect Jade Color
Sheaffer Lifetime Balance pen in jade green. The first iteration of the Balance
pen in the next-to-biggest size. Extra-long pointy barrel, pinned lever made of
a solid piece of gold plated brass, long hump clip, short early section. Almost
as long, and a little thinner, than the oversized Senior model. Quite simply the
best color in this pen I've had. It's easy to forget how vibrant the colors were
in a pen shop in the late '20s, after the advent of celluloid. Here's something
to remind us. Bright green with lots of perfect cream-colored marbled highlights
and a lovely ivory white dot. Hefty Lifetime nib in the correct long shape, fine
to medium and firm. Excellent condition with minor wear to the clip ball,
shallow surface scratching, excellent imprint. Sac removed to preserve color.
Length about 5 11/16 inches (144mm).

Sheaffer Oversize Lifetime Balance c1931, Green Marble, Rare Long-Tine Flexible Nib The
Balance pen had been around for a couple of years when Sheaffer introduced
marine green marble Radite. This is the oversize Senior pen, the first version
available in this color. It still has the hump clip, short section and pinned
lever of the earliest Balance pens, but the shape has been modified a bit,
making the barrel a bit shorter and more rounded. Most Sheaffers of this era had nail-like firm nibs, and the company
touted its pens' ability to write through multiple copies. But Sheaffer made a few flexible nibs, and this is one of them. It is long
and elegantly tapered. Like many Sheaffer flex nibs of this era, it's curved tightly around its feed,
giving it a somewhat conical look. Perhaps this inspired the later Triumph nib. The point is
very fine. It's only slightly flexible, stiffer than
the typical Waterman nib of the era, but still very unusual for a Sheaffer.
Perfect for everyday use, it's firm enough for quick writing, fine enough for a
checkbook register or a small notebook, but it has just enough springiness to
give your writing some added character. A large, impressive pen. Excellent
condition with no chips or cracks, bright color, excellent imprint. There's some
wear showing to clip high points, minor fading to the barrel color, minor
surface scratching. Restored and working with a new sac installed. Length is about 5
3/8 inches.

Oversize Lifetime Balance, 1930s, Rare 14k Trim, Perfect Green Marble Color
Sheaffer
Balance Senior with 14k trim. An unusual example of this 'autograph' model with
no name or initials engraved in the wide gold band. Clip and band (not lever)
are 14k. An unusually good example of
this pen otherwise, too: the color is among the brightest I've seen, cap and
barrel matching perfectly. Excellent to near mint condition. Note the molten edges around
the letters of the imprint. Minor scratches here and there, and a slight ding on
the right edge of the clip, approximately at the hump. Excellent Lifetime two-tone nib, with
perfect platinum masking. Fine, possibly extra fine, and firm.
Restored and working with a new sac
installed. A silicone sac was used to preserve color. Length about 5½ inches.

Sheaffer Oversize Balance, Gray Marble -- Rare Feathertouch 8, Non-Lifetime
I think I'm correct in saying that the gray marble is the most rare color of
Sheaffer's 1930s Balance pens. It's probably neck and neck with Roseglow, if
you include the stripes. I've only seen a few oversize senior pens in this
color. (It's different, of course, from the more common red-veined gray
marble.) Here's one that's even more rare than the 'normal' Lifetime Balance
Senior. It's an oversized pen, the largest size made, but instead of a Lifetime
nib and white dot on the cap, the pen has a Feathertouch 8 nib and no white
dot. The pen is in every other way identical to the oversized Lifetime pen. The
Feathertouch 8 nib is the same size as the two-tone Lifetime nib found on the
oversized Lifetime model. But there's no Lifetime designation, and no white
dot. It's a bit like the mid-'20s distinction between the oversized Lifetime
Senior flattop and the nearly identical 7-30 -- same size, different details. One interesting distinction:
notice that the incised line in the nib, the line between the uncovered gold
area at the back, and the platinum plated area in front, is straight, not
curved or angled forward, as it is in the Lifetime version. I doubt anybody out
there has seen this pen before. I've had Feathertouch 8 seniors before, but
only in black. Excellent condition with no chips or cracks, clear imprint with
molten edges on the letters, and excellent plating on the two tone nib. The
only noticeable wear is on the chrome plating on the cap band, which is
notoriously delicate -- it comes off with very little actual use. The chrome on
the clip is actually quite nice. I'd call the nib a medium point. It's firm.
Lever filler, restored and working with a new sac installed. Length is about 5½
inches.

Sheaffer Oversize '40s Balance Set, 14k Trim, Rare Oblique Triumph Nib
The big 1940s Sheaffer Lifetime Balance pen, the largest size made, in black
plastic with solid 14k wide band and clip. Correct '2000' price code marking on
barrel. Probably made for UK market, the nib is has Canada imprint and the
barrel is USA. The pencil is marked USA with price code 1500. Wide gold bands
engraved 'Fr. Jim.' and ' 15-1-'49.' -- note the archaic periods at the end of
each line. The pen has a very rare oblique Triumph two tone nib. These are
sometimes found in Snorkels, but hardly ever in these earlier, larger pens. This
model, the same size as the '1750'-price-code Crest, was Sheaffer's fattest from
the mid '40s till the PFM came along. Two scratches in the pen band, otherwise near mint. Lever filler, restored and
working. The pencil is also working. The pen measures just over 5¼ inches, the
pencil about five inches. The box is an unusual alligator-print leatherette,
with velvet inside presentation surface. It's excellent with one minor
pencil-lead smudge on lid liner. A very unusual set.

Sheaffer
Snorkel Set, Rare 'Peacock Blue,' Near Mint in Box -- Ed Sullivan Souvenir 1950s Sheaffer
Snorkel set in one of the hard to find colors: peacock blue. This is the
Statesman model, with plastic cap and barrel, somewhat more desirable than the
metal-capped models like the Crest and Sentinel, because there's more peacock
blue to enjoy. Near mint condition with the 'Fine' sticker still present on the
pen's section, and correct F4 stencil -- palladium silver Triumph nib, fine
point. The pen's original filling system is working well, with lots of suction;
the pencil works too. The snorkel tube retracts farther into the feed than most,
but this does not affect function. Both are marked 'Best Wishes Ed Sullivan'
with Ed's signature. There is no better midcentury memento than this. The Ed
Sullivan show was not a radio holdover; it started out in the new medium of
television, in 1948, as Talk of the Town, becoming the Ed Sullivan Show in 1955,
and continuing right up until 1971.

Wahl Eversharp Skyline, Gold Fill Derby -- Fine, Extra Flexible Nib Skylines
are a blessing: wonderfully representative of streamlined design, they're
plentiful, and often have somewhat flexible nibs. This one is extreme, however.
It's really flexible. Fine with no pressure, and with very respectable
swells, it compares with any Waterman's 'pink' nib. The other features are good
too. The bulbous gold filled derby and gold filled cap looks great on the green
barrel. It's not mint; there are several nicks and dings, including two deep
indentations that were probably put there to hold the cap lining in its metal
sleeve, and normal wear. But it still looks good. Note that the wear on the
lever shows silver under the gold fill. That's wartime vermeil, gold over
silver, when brass had become a strategic material and silver was substituted.
This is a full size Skyline. 1940s.
Restored and working with a new sac installed. Length about 5 1/4 inches.

Wahl Eversharp Skyline -- Amazing Bucktooth Flexible Italic Nib An
extreme Skyline, one of the pens that makes you grateful for vintage pens. This
triple wide stub is nice and sharp. It can make the very fine sidestrokes you
need for italic and Old English alphabets, and the fat downstrokes too. It's
every bit as good as any specialty italic dip nib you could get in the
calligraphy section of the art store. Except because it has iridium, you can
actually make an upstroke, and because it's in a fountain pen, you can carry it
around in your pocket and use it anywhere. And because it's in a nice-looking
Skyline, you can look classy doing it. Writing with this nib is a pleasure. For
such a wide, sharp nib it's not scratchy, and the ink flow is very adequate to
fill the wide front edge of the nib when it's on the paper. It is actually
flexible, so you can get fat lines of varying widths. Full size Skyline pen with
brown and gold striped cap, brown barrel. Very good condition with some trim
wear, some nicks and scratches, some wear on the barrel from cap posting. And
one of the most impressive nibs I've ever seen. Restored and working with a new

short. It's a plus to find it with a clip. The pen is in very good condition
with typical wear and fading. The color is a mottled brownish green, and the
chasing has smoothed out a lot over the years. The nickel trim is nice, and the
cap has the nice solid wide early clip. The nib is a wonderful extra fine
long-tined Waterman No. 2 that is one of the best copperplate style nibs I've

Waterman 5116 in Box, Unusual 'Fine Flexible' Imprint Charming
late-'30s Waterman No. 5-sized pen with stepped ends and distinctive globe logo
clip and top gold filled disc. Usually identified as the 5116, I've seen other
designations as well. It came as a lever filler or two different types of inkvue
fillers. This is the easier-to-maintain lever filler. Gray marble with blue
lines. Canadian model in its original box. Unusual 'Fine Flexible' imprint on
the nib. From the long tines and the imprint, this would be the successor to the
Pink nib, after the color designations were dropped. These straightforward
literal nib-grade imprints are seen occasionally, thought they seem to be more
common with other grades. I've seen 'manifold' (i.e., Purple), 'rounded'
(Yellow), and 'firm' (Green). I don't think I've seen 'Fine Flexible' before.
Good condition with no chips or cracks, substantial trim wear. Ink stains on
box. Nib is, as advertised, fine and flexible, though not as soft as the softer
of the pink nibs. Restored and working with a new sac installed. Length about 5

Waterman Hundred Year Pen 1940s, Rare Flush-Fit Screw-on Cap -- Sterling Silver Waterman
made a few of this rare variation of the Hundred Year Pen: metal cap, with
indentation in the barrel so that cap and barrel fit flush. It's not a Taperite,
and it's not the more common slip-cap model. Rather, it's a conventional nibbed
Hundred Year, with a threaded metal cap. You see them occasionally, but not too
often. Most of these pens have gold filled caps, but they were also made in
sterling. I've only seen two. This is one of them. Excellent condition with no
dents or dings, good imprint, minor high point trim wear. Around the cap's star
there is a little of the original thin rhodium layer, added to prevent the pen's
tarnishing on the dealer's shelf. 'Metropolitan Chapter 1940' engraved on

Noodler's created a new limited-production ink for the 2009 New England Pen
Show: Boston Brahmin Black. For this ink Nathan Tardif found a collection of
vintage fountain pen inks. Unlike most old ink, this collection's individual
bottles had been sealed to prevent evaporation. They were therefore an accurate
sample of old ink as it was intended to be sold. He analyzed one large maker's
1940s permanent black from this collection, and reverse-engineered it. The
result is and intense black ink, just like vintage, but without having had to
withstand the rigors of long-term storage. It's just like buying 1940s ink, but
buying it now, today---vintage ink for the modern fountain pen user. It does not
have the 'bulletproof' qualities of Noodler's normal modern inks, but is rather
just as permanent as '40s inks were. It's nice and thin, flowing easily through
fountain pens, but nevertheless has good deep color. Nathan made 288 bottles,
two hundred of which were given out to show attendees. The remainder we're
selling to help support the show. One-ounce bottle with Pier Gustafson's special
catfish-caught-in-the-Big-Dig label.

Reprising the special ink sold at

Boston Brahmin Blue for the 2006 show. The '06 Boston Brahmin Blue

extra feathering-resistance. It's a bright, clear blue, perfect for everyday
writing, yet distinctive. Each one-ounce bottle carries artist Pier Gustafson's
special label: the Noodler's catfish goes in one end of the newly depressed
Central Artery and emerges from the other, with the harbor-front skyline in
between. The ink was sold at the show, and a few of the limited number of
bottles remained, so you now have a chance to obtain one, and try it out for
yourself.
