Item # O-955 is a John Holland Jewel ring top in red with gold filled trim and a single-tone Fine/Medium nib. In very good condition with no cracks or major scratches, typical brassing on the cap band and lever, and a slightly soft imprint, it measures 4 1/2 inches long and weighs 15.80 grams. Our Price: $95.00

Item # O-946 is an Aiken Lambert or No Name pen in BHR with gold-fill overlay and a clipless cap. Although rarely marked as such, Aiken Lambert pens of this type and period usually had a fine crimping around the top of the cap. This one is without, throwing into question whether it is a no name or an Aiken Lambert. Filled by eyedropper, the pen has a fine semi-flex Aiken Lambert nib, circa 1915. This is a slender pen at 3/8" wide and 5-3/16 inches long capped, weighing in at 17 grams. With a small scratch in the gold overlay near the section, one minor ding on the cap crown and two smaller dings in the indicia, this pen is in excellent condition .

The snail pattern, otherwise known as chased and engraved is a lovely example of work of this period.

Our Price: $549.00

Item #O-907 is a Moore L-92 black chased hard rubber fountain pen bearing its original tag and a 14k gold #4 Fine nib ca. 1925. With its crisp chasing, imprint, and original tag this pen is near mint. The upgraded 14k gold clip and trim add to the highly collectible quality of this pen. This Moore is a medium size pen at 5-1/8 inches long capped and weighs 17.30 grams. It will be an excellent addition to a vintage pen collection. And it is fully functional.

Our Price: $295.00

Item #O-906 is a Grieshaber light blue hand painted ring top, lever fill fountain pen with a 14K gold #2 nib circa 1929. Except for a hardly noticeable crack in the barrel threads (which does not affect the function of this pen) this bright little Grieshaber is in good condition. It is only 4 inches long capped and weighs only 10 grams. This pen would fit in a vest pocket, on a chain or chatelaine. The color is not common among the hand painted pens from that era. The abstract design was cutting edge at the end of the 1920's. Our Price: $225.00

The detail at left shows a close-up of the nib in this Pilot Pen with its distinctive chevron vent hole. It is steel with very nice semi-flexibility and a Fine/Extra Fine point. The imprint reads:

Item #O-645 is a Mabie Todd & Co. Swan Eternal No. 54 in Red Mottled Hard Rubber (RMHR) with GFT. At just over 4-5/8 inches long, capped, this pen becomes a full standard-size pen with the cap posted: 6-1/8 inches. In excellent condition with no cracks or scratches, completely legible imprints and brilliant colors in the mottled hard rubber, the only thing that keeps us from calling this one near mint is the typical brassing on the lever and the clip ball (both visible in the scan above) and around the very top edge of the cap crown ring. The Eternal #4 nib is a rigid medium/fine. Our Price: $425.00

Item #O-260 is a Swan 46 E.T.N. Eternal, circa 1926, in red mottled hard rubber with gold-filled trim. 5 1/2" long, capped, and a whopping 7" with the cap posted, this is a large pen with a 1/2" barrel diameter. It has no cracks or scratches but the imprint is soft and the trim shows typical significant brassing, as seen on the clip and clip ball in the scan above. The nib is a Mabie Todd & Co. New York Eternal 6 rigid Fine/Extra Fine. Our price $495.00

Item #O-263 is a LeBoeuf "UNBREAKABLE" (please see the imprint detail below where the word is still legible), circa 1928, in Onyx GFT. Unfortunately, the manufacturers didn't realize what more than sixty years of use and pollution would do to their materials; the barrel is typically discolored and the cap is beginning to crystallize and has developed several unrepairable cracks, visible in the scan above. Still, the pen is functional, having been fully restored, and the nib is an original LeBoeuf 14k Broad. Our Price: $225.00

Item #O-732 is a Pilot Pen, circa 1937, in Black and Pearl celluloid with nickel plated trim and stepped ends. At 5-3/8" long capped, and nearly 6-3/4" long with the cap posted on the back of the barrel, this is a large standard-size pen. In excellent condition with no cracks or scratches, only slight ambering on the barrel, visible in the scan above, and a crisp imprint, this is a rare pen in unusually fine condition. The nib is steel with a a fine/extra fine semi-flexible point. Our Price: $325.00 SOLD
