One More Maxima

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.
True Sheaffer Junior fountain pens are difficult to find, especially with their original Junior nibs. We just added one of these vintage pens in close to mint condition. It is a real stunner in grey and red.
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.
