Visions of Sugar Plum 51s Dancing Through Our Heads

A grail pen for many Parker 51 collectors is the plum-colored aerometric from 1948. Today we offer only the second one we've ever had. A classic vintage pen by no stretch of the imagination.
Preowned luxury pens come in many shapes and precious materials. One of our favorites is the limited edition Cross Townsend Jade. We think ours might be New Old Stock...without its box and papers.
We don't often get solid gold pens to sell, but we are excited to showcase today's solid 14k gold Eversharp Skyline Command Performance fountain pen and pencil set! Also interesting is the story of the man who owned it. Be sure to come give it a look.
Unfortunately, we don't often get many inkwells for our special page dedicated to them. However, we've recently added a couple of really nice ink wells from Montblanc. Please be sure to check them out on our Inkwells Page.
We're having a Montblanc kinda day today. If you like pens, we just added the ballpoint Montblanc Hemingway in its original box. If luxury pencils are your thang, then it doesn't get any better than our Montblanc Ramses II. Last but not least, we also are ready to make your desk look great with a Montblanc Inkwell hand cut from lead crystal!
Sure, the "Polar Express" is a holiday favorite movie, but pen aficionados might prefer our S.T. Dupont Orient Express. This preowned luxury pen is in like-new condition. A real stunner worthy of the original luxury train.
It has been a little while since we've had a Mont Blanc 149 fountain pen on the site. These ever-popular oversized luxury pens are the belle of the boardroom. Probably Montblanc's most famous and successful pen design in history. Ours sports a split ebonite feed under a two-tone 14k gold nib.
We're having fun on this "black Friday" with two black pens. Preowned pens lovers will greatly enjoy our almost-new Montblanc Brahms Donation Pen that comes complete with its original booklet and tuning fork! Vintage pen fans will adore the FLEXI nib on our latest Sheaffer Craftsman!
Fountain pens hit their Technicolor glory when the Bexley Gemstone was invented. Our latest pre-owned pen looks as if it is from the Emerald City in "The Wizard of Oz."
There's nothing like finding a vintage pen with its original stickers. We just restored a Sheaffer Admiral pen and pencil set that still sport theirs. Perfect for any vintage pen lover.
Don't overlook the marvel of Bexley. Our Bexley Imperial is buttery smooth! It also is a nice oversized pen with a perfect wintry design for writing holiday greetings.
C'mon?! What day isn't a fountain pen day for us hardcore pen nerds? ;) Yet, you can make it easier to celebrate fountain pens all year with the Delta 365. This one has a barrel that looks as if it made of pearlescent amber pebbles.
What better way to celebrate All Hallow's Eve than with a skeleton pen? Technically, it is called the Montegrappa Merry Skulls fountain pen. Ours is like new, and it comes with its original boxes and papers.
Green is our favorite color in the Sheaffer PFM line. We just restored a green PFM-I on our vintage pens page. It is a great looker and writer. Nice smooth medium nib made of palladium silver.
Check out our latest grail pen. Our vintage pens page features a genuinely rare Waterman Ink-Vue Demonstrator fountain pen. Until this arrived, we never even knew such a thing existed!
Extra-fine nibs rarely come this smooth. However, our golden brown striated Sheaffer Balance Lifetime is one beautifully smooth vintage pen. A fully restored classic.
Whether you need a classic black pen for halloween or you want a more dashing orange and black, we've got you covered. Up on the vintage pens side is a beautiful black oversized Sheaffer Balance Lifetime with a stunningly smooth  broad nib. On the modern preowned pens side we have a stunning orange-and-black Edison Pen Co. Collier fountain pen with a very smooth medium nib.
If you like huge pens, then you will love our Edison Pen Huron Grande. It measures 6.5 inches when capped. Plus, it sports a 1.1mm nib! Looks stunning in an acrylic color called Sonoran Sunset.
If you haven't tried the modern, American-made Karas Kustoms pens, you might want to give a special look at the Karas Kustoms Ink fountain pen. The highlight of the pen is its extra-fine nib that borders on buttery smooth.
A freshly restored Conway Stewart 15 has entered our vintage pens pages. It is a pretty fun writer. In spite of a slightly demented looking 14k gold nib, it writes a nice broad line with a little variation.
We just added our last Parker Vacumatic Maxima pen for the week. This one is actually a pen-and-pencil set in the difficult to find burgundy color. Straight to you from 1937.
Another beautiful Parker Vacumatic Maxima has arrived! This time you can expect a very rare semi-flex Parker Vacumatic nib! Pretty enough for a museum. Lots of fun for writing.
We add two really remarkable pens to start this week. First, for the vintage pen fans, we have a stickered NOS Parker Vacumatic Maxima! For pre-owned pen fans, we have the most awesomely named Levenger Plumpster. Seriously. That's the original model name!
Several dozen preowned luxury pens have been uploaded to our Trading Post in the past week. There is quite a diverse selection. Be sure to check it out.
Stunning marble green brings out the art deco glory of our Conway Stewart 388 fountain pen. Our vintage pen is fully restored, and it writes an extra-fine line with its original 14k gold nib. Capture the green glory of summer before it is too late.
Paying tribute to the city of Florence in Italy, the Stipula-made Levenger Firenze is a silver-collared tiger of a limited edition fountain pen. Our preowned pen looks good and writes a great, smooth fine line with an 18k gold nib.
Quite possibly one of the most beautiful vintage pens we've ever offered, today we are showcasing a mint Conway Stewart 84 in the blue cracked ice design. Fully restored and just as amazing as the day it rolled off the assembly line.
Our favorite season has begun. Be sure to check out our dazzling array of colors in both vintage pens and preowned modern pens. More than 200 pens to choose from!
A Conway Stewart No. 28 always looks great, but our latest writes so damned smoothly. We love it, and we hope you love it, too. Plus, it has a great grey-hatched design. Another great vintage pen.
Our vintage pen of the day and our preowned pen of the day have some issues. The vintage pen is a Sheaffer Balance Lifetime with a beat up cap and a stunning 14k gold double-broad nib. The preowned pen is a nearly perfect Leboeuf Pilgrim but the replacement flexi nib wiggles around too much when you write with it.
We adore the green cracked-ice design on our latest Conway Stewart 84. Better yet, this fully restored vintage pen also sports an insanely smooth fine-point nib made of 14k gold.
Too little time is spent on English pens by our site, but we hope to rectify that with this Conway Stewart 85L. Fully restored it is quite the handsome vintage pen.
Sending you off into the weekend are a user-grade Parker 51 and Pilot E95. We hope you have a great time resting up and letting off some steam this weekend.
We just added a 1949 Sheaffer Autograph to our vintage pens pages. This is the wide-bodied first-year TouchDown style with solid 14k gold trim! Fully restored...of course!
If it has been a while since you got your dip pen freak on, you won't want to pass up this long, sterling silver repoussé dip pen with an Aikin Lambert #3 flexible nib from the 1800s!
We just restored a great Parker Deluxe Challenger from 1937. Not only does it look pretty good, it writes a great, smooth medium line with its 14k gold nib. Another great vintage pen writer.
We just restored a Conklin 40 BCHR fountain pen, and we are dazzled by its fine-medium nib that flexes to about 1mm wide. The pen has a little wear, but it is 100 years old. We'll have wear at that age, too.
Kick it for one last day of summer with our latest additions. Vintage pen fans might prefer our Boston Safety Pen. Preowned modern pen lovers might enjoy our serpentine Danitrio Phantas I fountain pen.
We just restored a very nice Sheaffer Admiral for fans of the delightfully overcomplicated snorkel pens. Looks great and has a new ink sac, O-ring and point seal.
We start the week with a special treat in the form of a rare early 1920s Sheaffer Lifetime: pre-White Dot and pre-serial numbers! Our fully restored vintage pen works well and writes divinely.
We love the way our new Persian Blue Sheaffer Sentinel fountain pen looks, with its white dot on the tip of the blind cap. However, it does tend to drip a bit when it writes. Mostly restored, as it were.
Wide-bodied and a joy to write with, we have a vacuum-fil Sheaffer Valiant in a lovely chocolately brown. Great smooth Triumph nib. Fully restored by one of the best!
We just got a fully-restored Sheaffer Admiral in the beautiful abalone design know as Ebony & Pearl. It is rare for us to carry these "Vacuum-Fil" fillers, and this one is fully operational for great daily use!
Adding to our unique line-up of Parker pens is a Parker Lady Duofold. Its imprint is especially noteworthy. A fully restored vintage pen, it is a great addition to your collection.
We just picked up a really interesting Parker 20 with a chased black hard-rubber cap and bakelite barrel. A unique treasure for any Parker collection. Better yet, it sports a 14k gold nib that is quite flexi.
Oh so graily, graily grail pen. Even if you don't like vintage Sheaffer pens, you have to see our Sheaffer Balance Demonstrator. It might be the only time in your life you see one this good. Click its headline to see a close-up of its rare Sheaffer Secretary nib, too!
Our Lamy kick continues with a brushed steel Lamy 2000. Our preowned luxury pen was built within the last 10 years or so. Still works great and looks pretty good.
If you like the vintage pen look and don't mind a marriage of parts, you will enjoy today's Carter's FrankenPen. It sports a Carter's cap and a different Carter's barrel...both oversized...and a large Conklin Crescent nib that writes a smooth medium line.
Lamy Studio pens get an upgrade with the Glacier color scheme annnnd a buttery smooth 14k gold nib. It is one preowned pen you don't want to pass up.
Our Parker Duofold Desk Set with a golfer figurine just got a major upgrade: 2 senior-sized Parker Duofold desk pens! Fully restored these desk pens are way better than average. One has a stub nib and the other has a semi-flex nib!
One of the all-time classics in vintage pens is the oversized Sheaffer Balance. It is the perfect daily driver for many, and we have a good price on one that is an absolute workhorse.
For the first time on our site, we are offering a Sheaffer Craftsman fountain pen that was made in Canada. We are surprised there doesn't seem to be a great rush to collect the Canadian-made Sheaffers, as they seem a bit more rare. Anyhow, our vintage pen is fully restored and ready for some smooth, medium writing.
Our latest antique inkwell is a great combination of brass, white glass and an amethyst jewel. It is a really attractive piece for your desk.
Wahl-Eversharp Pelican desk pens are a rare treat, but we just added our second one of the year! Like the first, this one is frosted-brown glass. But, this one has what looks like a married trumpet and a large green Eversharp Doric fountain!
Over the course of a year, we pick up tons of pens that are not suitable for our traditional line of pens for sale. However, they are too good to just toss in the trash. Sooo, we are making collections of these items for bargains to collectors and repair people looking for practice items and affordable gifts to give away. Up first is a set of 5 dip pens in various states of repair. Then there is a collection of what look like perfectly nice homemade pens by a pen turner. Also available are a broken sterling silver pen and a possibly silver plated pencil...cheap. Now included are a NOS Papermate set annnnd a bunch of possible salvage pens for you. How about a Waterman salesman's sampler set?! We close out our week of garage sale items with a folio of Parker Salesman's samplers and a Dirty Bag o' Parts.
