Extraordinary Vintage Pens

Catalog 72 (September 2014)
1
1932 Fords Patent “Large” plunger-fill in Smooth Sterling Silver over Black Hard Rubber. Extremely rare without the overlay – rare as hen’s teeth with the overlay! A highly unusual pen with a unique filling mechanism! The barrel unscrews and removes to access the ink reservoir (which came both amber and clear) with it’s cork gasket. The pen fills on the pull stroke and a sliding seal moves out of the way on the push stroke so the ink doesn’t expel. Shown both closed and open. More information here: http://www.penpractice.com/page10.html. Medium nib, with a tad of flex. In Lambrou’s 1989 book, he mentions that these pens were produced under license for T.B. Ford, Ltd. by the Wyverne Pen Company, a major UK pen manufacturer. Near mint.
$1500

2
1935 Montblanc 128 PL Push knob-fill in Platinum. Perhaps Montblanc’s most spectacular celluloid! GFT. 2-toned, broad, flexible, italic nib. Near mint+

4
1910 Parker 10 “Cable Twist” Straight-holder eyedropper-fill in Red Mottled Hard Rubber. An outstanding and extremely rare pen! The knurling on the spiral cable and on the gripping section are mint. Fine, extra-flexible nib. Near mint+

$650

12
1945 Omas Colorado double-barreled, double nibbed PIF in Black with “scissor” barrel configuration. NPT. Red dot & white dot on gripping sections so you know which side has which color ink. Incredible pen, almost never found in this condition. Shown open. The scissor “swivel” allows the user to fill each of the two reservoirs separately. Medium/fine nibs. Near mint. Shown open.
$2300

13
1955 Pelikan 520N PIF in Rolled-gold (gold-filled). Alternating wave-chased, plain and pinstriped panels. Not only is the “N” model rare (only made one year), but the fully covered 520 makes it 10 times rarer! Visualated barrel with vertical stripes. Medium/fine nib, with a tad of flex. Near mint.
$2000

14
1937 Pelikan 101 PIF in Coral Red. One of the rarest colors and certainly one of the “holy grails” for serious Pelikan collectors!. Amber celluloid barrel. GFT. Fine, flexible nib.

$6500

15
1942 Pelikan IBIS PIF in Grey Marble. So rare, most folks don’t even realize that the IBIS was made in any color except Black! GFT. Visualated barrel. Signed “IBIS” fine nib. Near mint. A must for any serious Pelikan collector.
$1500

16
1929 Waterman Patrician LF in Black Plastic. Much rarer than Black Hard Rubber – when plastic was introduced (first by Sheaffer in Jade Green) the buying public wanted colorful pens, so far fewer were made in black. Canadian manufacture. GFT. Medium nib, with a tad of flex. Near mint+
$1500

1912 Moore 3.00/75 Safety eyedropper-fill in Black “Checkerboard” Chased Hard Rubber. Two very rare features on this pen. First, the holes in the barrel slide, allowing the user to actually hold the barrel while turning the cap onto and off of the pen (so the turning barrel doesn’t interfere), and the “checkerboard” chasing, rather than the much more common “wave” chasing.
