Big Changes Coming Soon

Hello, Friends! As you might have noticed we haven't updated much in a little while. Well, we are working diligently to launch a new-and-improved website! More details to come. We hope you will like it. :D
Montblanc 147 fountain pens are especially popular now that they were discontinued. We have an especially nice one made in burgundy...I mean, Bordeaux. Looks almost like new and it includes its special black-leather carrying case!
We haven't seen too many Sheaffer pens from the 1920s or '30s with an orange cap and barrel. Yet, today's Sheaffer 5-30 is a remarkable looking pen with a 14k gold semi-flex nib!
Write in harmony with the earth using our Wancher Shizuku Earth pen. It is a colorful modern pen that uses a glass nib and converter to fill with ink. Ours appears to be New Old Stock in mint condition.
We just uploaded the "Lunar Eclipse" version of the Wancher Dream Pen to our preowned pens page. We don't think this luxurious beauty has ever been inked! An urushi dream, for certain.
We regret not getting into Wancher pens earlier. Our Wancher Dream Pen sports a stunning Diamond Dust Raden design and looks like new. Japanese luxury doesn't get much nicer than this pre-owned pen.
Montblanc nibs are not known for their flexi nature, but we just added the rare 1980s Montblanc 149 with a 14k gold nib that flexes from extra-fine to 2mm wide! It also has the split-ebonite feed.
Montblanc paid tribute to the great literary icon Samuel Clemens in 2010 with its Writers Series edition of the Montblanc Mark Twain. We just added the fountain pen in New Old Stock condition.
If you are the type to complain that Parker nibs are too stiff, you will love the flexi beast on our Parker Duofold Moderne. It is a fully restored pen with a stunningly flexible nib.
Oh, yeah. We just got another near-mint Montblanc Hemingway fountain pen! These are among the most desired in the luxury pen collecting world. Complete with its book box and papers.
Enjoy a like new Sheaffer 500 Skripsert from circa 1958. This early cartridge-only pen looks as if it is in like-new condition. We think it even has a 14k gold nib, though we aren't certain.
Enjoy the buttery smooth writing of the Pelikan Ductus. Our 800-size preowned luxury pen comes with a stunning nib and a very elegant overall design. You won't want to miss it.
Sometimes a simple Pelikan M200 is just what you need. So easy to use, and they seem to last forever. We just added one that is a green that reminds us of an aurora borealis.
Check out a pair of very smooth-writing Parker Vector fountain pens on our preowned pens page. Great for anyone looking for a daily driver or something to introduce a beginner to.
Writing with a great rollerball pen is a care-free experience. The joy of a Parker Duofold rollerball pens marries the vintage pen look to a modern-pen sensibility.
We just added a special travel inkwell case made of aluminum by a company called "Stephen's". It is a cool metal case to protect a glass ink bottle. Likely from the 1940s or '50s.
Classic French pens are difficult to find in the U.S., but we just added a great-big Gold Starry 237. This chased-black-hard-rubber Safety Filler is a real treat. From its semi-flex 18k gold nib to our jerry-rigged restoration of its lipstick-twist nib assembly, this is the vintage pen many can't stop talking about.
Parker made pens in Denmark for a while after World War II. We just discovered this Parker Duofold that was likely made there in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Fully restored, it writes well.
Grab a green beer and click straight away to our ON SALE! pages! We just discounted another 2 dozen luxury pens by upwards of 50%. Save THOUSANDS off Montblanc, Omas, Montegrappa, Pelikan, Krone, Caran D'Ache and many others! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Save on a great, reliable Parker 51. It might be a little beat-up, but it is still writing well. The vintage pen that doesn't stop. It is neat to use a functional piece of history. Who knows what stories it has told.
Have fun with a 14k gold music nib! Our cheery yellow Sailor 1911 is a delight with one of these uncommon nibs. You'll find it a juicy, smooth writer. A great way to brighten your Spring!
Pilot's limited edition Vanishing Point from 2006 was a real knock-out in "Ice Blue." The color is great and goes well with the Rhodium accents. Our pen remains in great shape and comes complete with its original boxes.
Our list of limited edition pens grows with the Delta Alfa Romero fountain pen. A stunner in racing red and sterling silver! Our preowned pen comes with its original boxes and papers.
Limited edition Lapis Lazuli Cross Townsend fountain pens remain some of our very favorites. We start the week off right with a beautiful one on our pre-owned pens pages.
Our Sheaffer Premier fountain pen is an oversized stunner in carmine red. Ours is fully restored by Sherrell Tyree, a Sheaffer Vacuum-Fil maven. It is a delight to write with, too.
If you like gushing, wet daily-use pens, look no further than our double-broad nibbed Waterman 3V. It looks sharp with its grey-and-red design, but it is far too smooth. Fully restored for your vintage pen writing pleasures.
Waterman 7 Yellow fountain pens are rare vintage pen beauties! We restored this one with a new ink sac. You will love how it flexes up to 2mm wide! Classic orange hard rubber with a black ripple design.
We love discovering vintage pen packaging. We are especially happy to offer you Waterman 3V fountain pen-and-pencil set with a Waterman box featuring a very wintry scene. Fully restored, this set works and looks great.
Mottled yellow ebonite was rare in vintage pens, but we just got a great modern Ranga fountain pen that uses it! It is beautiful. A modern eyedropper, it certainly ticks all the right boxes for a vintage-modern crossover pen.
Vintage pen fans might love our all-grey Eversharp Skyline fountain pen. Fully restored, this beauty is ready for plenty of smooth, fine-line writing. You might especially want this pen if your name is Evelyn Williams.
We dive into one of India's up-and-coming fountain pen companies with two of its handsome Bamboo pens made of hard rubber. Modern with a vintage flair, each has a really unique nib worth exploring on our pre-owned pens page.
Ribbed pens are a custom-only order for Sailor Professional Gear fountain pens. We just added one with a tasty Naginata Togi nib that is marked NMF. The entire writing instrument looks pretty close to mint. Includes a Sailor converter.
If you like Giant Sequoias, you'll love the fountain pen equivalent: the Monte Verde Giant Sequoia. Our pre-owned pen comes complete with its original box. This extra-large pen writes an extra-fine line, for those keeping score at home.
We suspect that the Delta Icon Fusion isn't really iconic, but it still makes for a very handsome fountain pen. In fact, its steel-and-gold nib writes a very nice fine line, too. A perfect daily driver.
We just discovered a British Parker Duofold ballpoint that was likely from the 1950s. It is a cap actuated pen dissimilar from the regular clicker Jotters. Worn but still working well, this is a very happy find for us.
Our vintage Mont Blanc section has been growing lately, and we are especially excited to show off our coral Montblanc 206 button-filler. Our fully restored vintage pen is a doozy. Close to mint condition but not quite. You'll love it!
Eversharp Coronet fountain pens are stunning art deco vintage pens. We think they are the best looking pens of the 1930s. We just added a handsome fountain pen and pencil set with red triangles. Gorgeous!
By which we mean, get a Lucky Curve from Parker this weekend. We have a nearly mint-condition version of the all-black vintage pen that has been fully restored with a new ink sac. The original 14k gold nib even has a little flex.
Barley designs in the sterling silver Montblanc Classique Solitaire look especially sharp. Our ballpoint pen is guaranteed authentic and comes with a brand-new refill. An iconic luxury pen for any writer.

We continue to work on clearing out some of our back stock this weekend with some more big discounts on our preowned fountain pens and rollerballs. Comb through our On Sale! section to find the latest bargains.
If you like juicy broad nibs, you will love our latest Conklin Endura. Not only is it a great writer, it looks fantastic with a cherry-red vein coursing through its white pearlescent cap and barrel.
Easily replaced screw-in and -out nibs were first the hallmark of Wahl-Eversharp. Today's vintage pen is the famed Wahl-Eversharp Gold Seal ringtop. It comes with a 14k gold nib marked flexible. We find it to be more of a semi-flex, but we think you'll still love it.
If you love buttery smooth medium nibs with a touch of line variation, you will likely love our preowned Montblanc 146 fountain pen. In excellent working order with minimal wear, it might just be your new favorite daily driver.
Luxury pen maker Montblanc scores big with its large highlighter. Ooops. They never call it a highlighter. Nevertheless, be sure to check out the Montblanc LeGrand 166 "Document Marker" on our preowned luxury pens page.
Does it seem like this was a long week to you, too? Well, enjoy a great couple of days off and hopefully next week will be warmer and brighter. In the meantime, enjoy bargains on some damaged but still good writing pens: a Parker 61 and Cross Townsend.
If you want a modern pen with a beautiful woodgrain vibe, you will love our Stipula Novecento. Looking sharp with silver trim, this is a must have for any preowned pen lover.
Join our own special astrological event with our New Old Stock set of Venus pens. This includes the fountain pen and the very early ballpoint click pen! Not necessarily rare but also not an everyday find.
We complete our triptych of preowned Waterman Rhapsody pens with a stunning sapphire-blue fountain pen. It is a smooth-writing fine-point nib made of 18k gold. In great condition.

Sticking to a color theme today, we have an emerald pearl Parker Vacumatic Debutante on our vintage pens page. And, we have an emerald-marble Waterman Rhapsody on our preowned pens page. Don't be green with envy; snatch one up today.
We love the rainbow caps on Parker 61 fountain pens. This one has been flushed as best we can for more happy writing adventures. The capillary filler is one of the last great FP filling innovations.
We have tons of fun writing with the super-smooth 14k gold on our Parker 45. In great working order, this vintage pen is ready to rock your world. It remains a great daily writer after roughly 60 years of service.
Did the Sheaffer Vacuum-Fil pen take its filling system from Onoto de la Rue? We don't know, but our vintage pen seems to indicate that it might have. Very interesting pen for those who like writing with history.
If you love Pelikan pens, then you will love our Chronoswiss Styloscope fountain pen. It is a beautiful green luxury pen made exclusively for the Swiss watchmaker Chronoswiss by Pelikan. Annnnnd, it comes with two different 18k gold nibs!
We love making vintage pens sound scandalous. Fans of flexi 14k gold nibs will enjoy our Mabie Todd Swan 142/1 fountain pen. It isn't a wet noodle, but it does write a wonderful extra-fine line to 1mm line. Fully restored with a new ink sac...naturally.
We close out 2024 with two fantastic pens. For those curious about getting into vintage pens, we offer a buttery smooth bargain on a Sheaffer Imperial. Preowned pen fans who desire luxury and exclusive, we have a nearly mint Pelikan Souveran M800 Blue O' Blue!
Find out what all the fuss is about with our mandarin-yellow Parker Duofold. It is a must for most vintage pen collectors. Its buttery smooth fine-point nib is another attraction.
Among our favorite pens is the Pelikan brand. Our latest preowned pen is a stunning tortoise Pelikan Souveran M400 fountain pen. In stunning condition, it is a slightly earlier model that writes beautifully.
We've gone a little overboard on modern Parker Duofolds. Seriously, who can get enough of them?! They are amazing pens and we just added a heap of great colors of fountain pens and ballpoints to choose from.
Always popular is the Montblanc Alexandre Dumas ballpoint pen with the wrong signature. We just added it to our preowned pens page, as well as an attractive limited edition lapis lazuli Cross Townsend.
There is still enough time to order some of the most amazing pens we've offered all year! Up for our vintage pens fans is a Montblanc 334 1/2 with a buttery smooth STUB nib made of 14k gold. Pre-owned pens fans will LOVE two great broad-nibbed wonders that are also buttery smooth: the Namiki Custom Impression and Omas Jerusalem 3000 in black!
With both Hanukkah and Christmas set to begin on December 25th, our sterling silver Omas Jerusalem 3000 rollerball pen can arrive just in time for your special celebration. It looks like new and comes with a brand-new refill.
It might be getting dark way too early this time of year, but our sunny yellow Omas 630 Demonstrator fountain pen is sure to brighten any room. Appearing to be New Old Stock, this preowned pen is perfect for any Omas collector.
A little while back we got to see the Montblanc 100 Anniversary pens and pencils released to celebrate the historic event. Now we have two to offer you: a ballpoint and a pencil. Each looks like a classic safety pen, even though they only work with modern elements.
The long wait is over. We finally have a vintage Montblanc fountain pen. We think this one dates back to the 1940s. It is a Montblanc 234 1/2 G. The guy we got it from says it is in great working order, having been restored about 10 years ago by the legendary Osman Sumer.
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.
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.
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!

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!

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 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.

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.

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!
