Pre-Owned Pens: 6617: Wancher: Dream Pen Rising Sun Maki-e
Bright light gleams like the sun off the brilliant Wancher Dream Pen Rising Sun maki-e fountain pen. Our pen appears to be in mint or near-mint condition and never used. It doesn't show any staining from ink. We love the dragon winding its way down the pen. Click the headline for close-ups. Its 18k gold nib is marked "M" for medium. We have not dipped it, as we think this pen is new old stock. We wish we had the box and papers. Includes its original standard international converter. 15.5cm capped.
Vintage Pens: 6647 Sheaffer 5-30
Filling Mechanism: Lever Filler
Era: 1920-1929   Fountain Pen Nib Size: SF
Price: $249.99
Vintage Pens: 6647: Sheaffer: 5-30
Parker cornered the market on orange pens in the 1920s and '30s. Orange Sheaffer pens are much less common to find. Our Sheaffer 5-30 is a long, slender beauty of a vintage pen, even if it has a fair amount of shallow bite marks in the tail end. Our pen is fully restored with a new ink sac. No cracks and minimal brassing. The pocket clip is the straight and flat type. Best of all, this pen has a semi-flex nib. You can write a normal fine line fairly easily, but with a little gentle practice you can write an extra-fine to roughly .75mm wide line. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.3cm capped.
Pre-Owned Pens: 6619 Wancher Shizuku--Earth
Filling Mechanism: Cartridge/Converter
Era: 1980-present   Fountain Pen Nib Size: F
Price: $149.99
Pre-Owned Pens: 6619: Wancher: Shizuku--Earth
Try finding a more Spring-friendly color scheme than the swirling pastels of this Wancher Shizuku Earth fountain pen. Instead of a traditional gold or steel nib, it uses a glass nib. However, it fills with an included converter...standard international. There doesn't appear to be a speck of ink on or in this pen, leading us to believe it is new old stock. No trace of wear either. It comes from the collection of best-selling author Bill Adler Jr. We think the tip of the glass nib is fine, yet, we haven't tried writing with it so as to not mess with its N.O.S. status. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.8cm capped.
Vintage Pens: 6654 Sheaffer Valiant
Filling Mechanism: TouchDown
Era: 1950-1959   Fountain Pen Nib Size: M
Price: $69.99
Vintage Pens: 6654: Sheaffer: Valiant
We love the ease of the pneumatic filling of a Sheaffer Valiant TM. This vintage pen is better known as the thin model of the TouchDown filler. We replaced the O-rings and ink sac. This classic Sheaffer from the early 1950s shows a little wear from use but no cracks or deep scratches. Click the headline for close-ups. It comes with a conical "Triumph" nib. It is a two-tone 14k gold nib, and you will write a smooth, wet medium line with it. A great daily driver and an excellent addition to get started on using vintage pens. 13.6cm capped.
Pre-Owned Pens: 6616 Wancher Dream Pen Lunar Eclipse
Filling Mechanism: Cartridge/Converter
Era: 1980-present   Fountain Pen Nib Size: M
Price: $499.99
SOLD!
Pre-Owned Pens: 6616: Wancher: Dream Pen Lunar Eclipse
Another amazing Japanese luxury pen has graced our pages. This time it is the Wancher Dream Pen Lunar Eclipse. We believe it was made by a urushi artist named Bokashi. It is a beautiful pre-owned pen that we believe has never been used. There doesn't seem to be any trace of ink on the nib or feed. Click the headline for close-ups. As it appears to be NOS, we didn't dip its 18k gold nib. The nib is marked "M" for medium. We do not have its box or papers, but it does come from the author Bill Adler Jr.'s incredible collection. It is a nice oversized pen. 15.5cm capped.
Vintage Pens: 6653 Sheaffer Admiral
Filling Mechanism: TouchDown
Era: 1950-1959   Fountain Pen Nib Size: F
Price: $59.99
Vintage Pens: 6653: Sheaffer: Admiral
Another great vintage pen for beginners or people looking for affordable daily users. We think this is a Sheaffer Admiral TouchDown pen. It could be a marriage, as the cap is darker than the barrel by a shade or two. We restored it with a new ink sac and O-ring. The pen shows wear from past use, but it has no cracks or egregious blemishes. You will write a nice fine line with its two-tone 14k gold nib. It is a little dry but smooth writing. Click the headline for close-ups. 13cm capped.
Pre-Owned Pens: 6618 Wancher Dream Pen Diamond Dust Raden
Filling Mechanism: Cartridge/Converter
Era: 1980-present   Fountain Pen Nib Size: M
Price: $499.99
SOLD!
Pre-Owned Pens: 6618: Wancher: Dream Pen Diamond Dust Raden
Click the headline for close-ups. We were so focused on capturing the stellar beauty of this Wancher Dream Pen's Diamond Dust Raden, the nib didn't come out very well in the main photo. However, the close-ups show its 18k gold radiance. Our incredible pen looks almost new with minimal--if any--wear. The way the light catches the maki-e and raden design is breath-taking. We don't think this is the original Wancher box to this pen, as we got it from a different collection. Yet, it is so nice, we think it should be. You will write a firm, medium line with a little feedback from its 18k gold nib. An exquisite pen for your collection. This pen comes with a standard international converter. It is a large pen at 15.5cm capped.
Vintage Pens: 6652 Sheaffer TouchDown
Filling Mechanism: TouchDown
Era: 1950-1959   Fountain Pen Nib Size: F
Price: $59.99
Vintage Pens: 6652: Sheaffer: TouchDown
If you are new to vintage pens, and you are looking for a great pen to experiment with, we highly recommend this Sheaffer TouchDown fountain pen from the 1950s. In addition to being fully restored with a new ink sac and O-ring, it is just a plain, good dependable writer. You will enjoy its smooth, 14k gold nib as it writes a standard fine line. Our vintage pen does show a little wear from use, but that means it has a bit of history and charm. It might even have a mismatched cap and barrel that fit perfectly together. BUT, we think it will show you the joy of vintage writing and pique your interest in a whole new rabbit hole to our crazy little hobby. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.4cm capped.
