Pre-Owned Pens

Being generous would be to state that this pen by Reflections is inspired by the modern Parker Duofold ballpoint pen. I believe rappers today call this "sampling." Anyhow, it is a very attractive pen some where between turquoise blue and a light green. It comes with a working Parker black refill. You can advance and retract it with a twist of the tail cap. You reload it by unscrewing the black part of the nose cone. 12.9cm.

There's little simpler than a demonstrator eyedropper such as this Recife Crystal fountain pen. Better than a vintage eyedropper, this pen has a rubber O-ring at the base of the section threads to help prevent ink seepage. It also has a very handsome swirling blue section and cap. Its two-tone steel nib writes a firm, smooth extra-fine line. It is a big pen, which is easier to grip for long periods of time. 15cm capped.

Like ivory pens? Don't kill an elephant. Just get a handsome Recife Baby Press rollerball pen in the ivory color. It is a great, little daily writer with plenty of style and class. It uses capless short rollerball refills, like Retro 51. Unfortunately, we're out of these refills but include the old dried out version to help you find a replacement. 12cm capped.

Remember that thick vinyl upholstery with a deep red glitter back in the 1950s or '60s? That seems to be the design inspiration behind this Parisian-made Recife Baby Press rollerball pen. The chrome accents make you wonder if it has a big block V-8 under the hood. Yet, it's a smaller pen. In nearly mint condition, it is free of cracks and significant scratches. It uses a shorter capless refill like a Retro 51, but we do not have a working refill for it in stock. A dry one is left in the pen so you can easily find the correct refill. 12.1cm capped.

Get a bargain on a sterling silver ballpoint pen with this handsome number we call the Piper Half-Silver. The cap band is marked as sterling, and we suspect the entire grip section is solid sterling. However, the clip and topper don't appear to be actual silver. There no dents or deep scratches on this pen. A Parker-style refill extends and retracts with a twist of the silver grip. The refill works with blue ink. The silver grip adds a little weight to improve the writing characteristics. 13.5cm.

Add some cold sizzle to your desk or pocket with the Piper ballpoint pen in black and blue marbling. Its silvery trim adds a little more pop to the design. Twist the tail to advance and retract the working blue ballpoint refill. This pen uses Parker-style ballpoint refills. 12.7cm.

Ever heard of Piper pens before? Nope. Neither have we, but here is one. It is a nice oversized pen with a handsome design that looks like blue pebbles on a field of black. A silvery trim is a nice touch. We don't actually know what type of cartridge or converter it uses. We assume standard internationals, but we know what happens when one assumes. It sports a steel nib that writes a sometimes dry, sometimes wet medium line with a little feedback. Click the headline for close-ups. 14cm capped.

Pilot makes some of the most popular pens of the modern era. Our Pilot Falcon is more famous as a fountain pen, but this is a ballpoint version! It has a great light blue with a sparkly metallic finish. It is in nearly mint condition. This is a more recent model, as it is marked Pilot, instead of Namiki. It comes with a working refill that writes with blue ink. Just twist the tail cap to extend or retract the refill. You will find the pen is a little thicker and easier to write with, as it also has some heft to help build momentum as you write. 14.4cm.
