Filling Mechanism: Cartridge/Converter

Looking like it just danced out of the souvenir shop in Emerald City from "The Wizard of Oz" is this stunning Technicolor green Bexley Gemstone fountain pen. At least we think the model name is "Gemstone;" we aren't certain. Borrowing a bit from the Waterman 100-Year Pen in design, it is an absolute knock-out. It shows some light wear from past use, but it is generally pretty amazing. Better yet, you'll write a buttery smooth medium line with its two-tone 14k gold nib. Included is a standard international converter. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.9cm capped.

Levenger sure has some stunning acrylics for its pens. The Levenger Chesterton surely leads the pack with beautiful designs. We love the multiple layers of pearl greys. You fill this pen with a standard international converter or similar cartridges. This comes with the converter. You will write a medium line with its steel nib. There is a little feedback. Includes an original Levenger box. 14cm capped.

Bexley is one of those great brands for pen fans by pen fans. It got its start when several vintage pen enthusiasts thought, "Hey, why don't we start our own pen company making pens we would love to write with and find on the market!" And so we present this Bexley Imperial in white with a black swirl. Its heart and soul is a buttery smooth two-tone steel nib that writes an amazing medium line...even if the nib is marked "B" for broad. Minimal wear can be found on this beauty. Includes a standard international converter. 15.2cm capped.

Made in America, the Bexley Imperial is a bold, oversized fountain pen. We like the brown swirl weaving through the pearlescent blue acrylic. Our preowned luxury pen is in excellent condition with minimal wear. You fill it with a standard international cartridge or converter. Our pen includes the converter. You will write a smooth, wet broad line with its two-tone steel nib. In spite of an "M" marked on the nib for medium, we feel confident in calling it a broad line. The nib sings a little as you write. 15.2cm capped.

As always, the craftsmen and women of Italy come through with panache. Our Delta Signatore 365 is a masterpiece with its marmalade pearl essence in a pebble formation in the barrel. The cap band appears to be vermeil...sterling silver plated with gold. In almost new condition, it has minimal wear. Comes complete with its box and papers. We had to write with this beauty before putting it up for sale. It writes a nice medium line with a touch of feedback. There seems to be a quirk with its inkfeed, as the ink sometimes stalls in the converter. You need to manipulate the converter to get it flowing again. Yet, it writes a fair amount once you do this. 14.4cm capped.

What better pen is there for Halloween than the Montegrappa Fortuna Merry Skulls pen? This is the "silver" fountain pen that isn't really actual silver. Dozens of rather happy looking skulls cover the barrel of the pen, and dozens more on the back of the cap form one large skull. Our pen is almost new with minimal use and minimal wear. Ours comes with the complete boxes and papers. Additionally, its standard international converter is installed in the pen. It also takes like cartridges. You will write a fine line with its steel nib that is both smooth with a little feedback. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.8cm capped.

Glittering yellow dust swirls through the black acrylic of this really stunning Karas Kustoms Vertex fountain pen. Unlike other Vertex pens that we've seen, this one has an amber "jewel" in the top of the pen. We aren't sure if that is from the factory or a former owner's bedazzling. Sporting minimal wear, this preowned pen comes with a standard international converter. You will write a firm extra-fine line with its steel nib. It does have some feedback, as most extra-fine nibs seem to have. 13.5cm capped.

Here's another pen to help you get your Halloween on. The stunning orange-and-black of this Edison Pen Co. Collier fountain pen is actually called tiger swirl. It looks as close to new as any preowned pen can be. This is one of the pens that uses a standard international cartridge or converter. It comes with a converter. The two-tone steel nib you will find to be a surprisingly smooth medium. Click the headline for close-ups. It is a big pen. 15cm capped.
