Catalog 77 (December 2015)

1993 D. J. Kennedy “Stylus” shaped bulb-fill by this famed artist and Sculptor, who produced pens by private order for Nieman Marcus. Hand signed by the artist (on the very bottom of the barrel) as follows: “DJ Kennedy Completed 14 April 1993 No. 95.” Sterling silver repousse work and brass applique. Waterman #2 nib (fine, extra-flexible). Bulb-fill. Here’s a link to an article, “The art of DJ Kennedy”. New-old-stock. Mint. Would have retailed for $1,000 or more.

1912 Montblanc 2 Safety eyedropper-fill in BHR. Extremely rare and early. Correct “Simplo 2″ nib, with the “2″ in a circle rather than a star. Crisp cap and barrel imprints and knurling. Broad, flexible, italic nib. White casein cap top has surface scratches, otherwise near mint. Shown open

1920 Montblanc 7 Safety eyedropper-fill in BHR. A very rare size, and with the rarer “Simplo 7″ nib (more common is “Montblanc 7″ or “14 Karat 7). Fine, triple-flexible nib. Imprint wear (barrel imprint not all readable), otherwise near mint. Clip is a modern reproduction. Cap imprinted “Montblanc” and, opposite, “Der Kimmelstein.” Unrestored.

1935 Montblanc 236 PL PIF in Platinum (perhaps Montblanc’s most beautiful celluloid!). Rare model! Visualated barrel. GFT. Medium/fine, flexible nib. Near mint+ (could be new-old-stock).

1936 Montblanc 234 ½ PL PIF in Platinum (perhaps Montblanc’s most beautiful celluloid). GFT. Medium nib. Near mint.

1941 Parker First Year 51 Vacumatic-fill in India Black. QUADRUPLE RARE! First, the barrel is factory imprinted “DEMONSTRATOR.” Second, the gripping section is CLEAR acrylic. Third, the collector is RED. Finally, the cap is SMOOTH STERLING SILVER with the “Made in USA” at the TOP of the cap – not at the cap lip, and has the aluminum jewels. Everything is guaranteed factory original. Broad nib. New-old-stock. Mint. Cap has original patina – will polish on request. An extremely rare 51!

1945 Parker 51 Vacumatic-fill set in India Black with 14K solid gold Cap (smooth), clip and bottom tassie. Deep, crisp barrel imprint. Fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box. Close-up of set in box.

1945 Parker Twist-activated Pencil for above set. 14K cap (smooth) clip and nozzle.

1946 Parker 51 RED BAND button-fill in Grey with Brushed Lustraloy (stainless steel) cap. Very rare filler mechanism, made only in 1947-8! Shown open so you can see the button. This uis the earlier version, with plastic threads. Parker had a problem with the 51 collectors flooding – this system was supposed to solve that issue. The system was so difficult to repair Parker soon dropped it from production, replacing it in 1948 with the Aerometric-filler. I’ve restored this one to perfect working condition. All original parts and guaranteed working order. Medium/fine nib. Near mint+. [Also available in Black with medium nib, the 1947 version with metal threads, at $900.]

1973 Parker 75 “Rainbow” cartridge/converter-fill in 18K gold-fill concentric rings of varying shades of gold. Very complicated and difficult to manufacture with many rejects resulting in excessive manufacturing cost and a very short product life. Hence, very rare today, especially mint in the box. This model was never sold in the US and was for export only. The actual name was not “Rainbow,” as it’s commonly called today, but was “Regency.” Fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box. Close-up of pen in box.

1983 Parker Premier Presidential Godron cartridge/converter-fill set 18K solid Gold (23 parallel lines formed by deep v-cut grooves). Faceted cap band. Triangular gripping section with gold-plated band. Black onyx inlay in both tassies. 18K Broad nib. Discontinued in the very early 1990s. Converter included. Near mint+.

1983 Parker Twist/button-activated Pencil (matches pen above) in 18K solid gold. Twist the pencil to propel the mechanism then press the repeater button to propel the lead. Near mint+.

1933 Pelikan 112 Piston-fill in 14K (pinstriped and wavy line panels). Visualated barrel (amber celluloid). One of the rarest of the early Pelikans. Cap adorned with applied 14K fancy repousse “KK” initials. I acquired the pen out of Poland and was told of a very interesting provenance. The pen was used by Baron Leopold Kronenberg, member of the famous Polish family of railroad tycoons and bankers, and Michal Stanislaw Kossakowski, a Polish landowner, diplomat and banker, from the noble family of Polish-Lithuanian roots, at the occasion of the signature of an important partnership contract, hence the “KK” initials on the pen. I could not find anything specific to this agreement on the Internet, but it is consistent with their both being important bankers in the early 1930’s. I wonder if there were originally two of these, one for each of the partners!?! Medium, flexible nib. A very light line on the cap from where the clip moved, otherwise near mint.

1977 Pilot Buddhist Scriptures Custom cartridge/converter-fill in Sterling Silver. Cap & barrel hand engraved with Kanji characters of the Heart Sutra, the best known of the Buddhist scriptures. Each Buddhist Scriptures pen has been blessed. The pens were taken to Buddhist temples in Japan where Priests performed a ceremony to grant good fortune. Here is a photograph of the ceremony The clip with inlaid black enamel. Inlaid nib (fine) with 1977 date code. New-old-stock. Mint in original box with converter, papers and outer box. Came in four models: raised characters; red or black with gold characters applied and then lacquered; and engraved characters (the rarest, which is the model offered here). Close-up of pen in box.

1912 Waterman 18S eyedropper-fill retractable nib Safety pen in Black Chased Hard Rubber. In 1918 this model was renamed as “48S.” Prior to 1912 there were threads on the turning knob so the cap could be screwed onto either end of the barrel. Only the Waterman model #20 is larger! NPT. Unrestored. Near mint+ with mint chasing and deep, crisp imprints.

1917 Waterman (4)16 eyedropper-fill in Cardinal with Sterling Silver “Filigree” overlay. Outstandingly rare and beautiful! Slip cap. Stub, italic nib. Model number “16″ on the barrel bottom is weak (readable). The pen has been used, with signs of wear and age soiling to the external components and dried ink throughout the ink flow components. I could have cleaned all this, but it would have ruined the age patina on the silver overlay, so I left it as is. Otherwise near mint.

1929 Waterman Patrician LF in Black Hard Rubber. GFT. Medium, flexible nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box (box shows some wear). Close-up of set in box.

1929 Waterman Twist-activated pencil for above set.

1960 Parker 51 Ball Pen cap-activated in Green. Gold-filled cap (fully pinstriped). This one made in Parker’s Argentina factory. Some wear to the cap (no dents or dings) so I’ll call it “user grade.” Refill included.

1890 AMCO Pencil in Sterling Silver Hand Engraved Vine with smooth upper turning knob. Twist-activated. Propel only (tap to repel). Stamp dispenser built into the top of the pencil. Probably English, since the stamps in the pencil are for “One Pence.” Near mint.

1925 Chilton Wingflow Pneumatic-fill set in Black with Gold-filled inlay and trim. Chilton invented the process to inlay the metal bars into the plastic (using and patenting no less than 11 different patterns), designed an extraordinary “wrap-around” nib which would use less gold, and patented both the filling mechanism and the clip. This pen carried Chilton from a small North-East Company to national prominence! Medium, flexible nib. Near mint.

1925 Chilton Twist-activated pencil for above set.

1917 Crocker 12S #2 size Hatchet-fill in Black Chased Hard Rubber. Unusual filling mechanism. GFT. Fine, flexible nib. Some surface scratches noticeable on the nib with a loop and a tad of imprint wear (fully readable). Excellent.

1935 Diamond Medal #4 BF in Silver Pearl with Black Pinstriping. GFT, including a wide “Greek Key” cap band. Odd filling mechanism. Unusual filling mechanism. The blind cap covers a non-centered button which is pressed several times to fill. The inner mechanism is like a Waterman Ink-Vue; a press bar depresses a diaphragm which creates a vacuum which draws ink up a filler tube into the visualated barrel. Diamond Medal was Sears’ house pen brand. Very smooth, fine nib. Barrel engraved “Dr. A. C. Brown.” Dr. Brown was a veterinarian practicing in Hull, Iowa. Near mint.

1935 Gold Starry 27 (#4 size) LF in Turquoise (Dark Blue & Bronze) with black ends. Beautiful celluloid! GFT. “Gold Starry 18 Carats 4″ nib (fine). Near mint+.

1930 Le Peinturencre Double ended Bakelite eyedropper-fill drawing “Brush Pen” in Black. One felt brush is long and narrow, the other shaped with tapered ends. Le Peinturencre translates from French to “The Painting Ink.” Extremely long at 8 ½” (20.5 cm). Two caps, one with a black cap-top, the other in red, to differentiate two different color inks. New-old-stock. Mint. A wonderful oddity for your collection!

1935 Mabie Todd “Gaviota Automatica” LF in smooth Black Hard Rubber. Extremely early and rare pen made by Mabie Todd for the Italian market. Barrel also reads “Manufactura Swan Londres.” Round, white casein insert in the top of the cap. Clip, which mounts in vent holes, is marked “grip,” Medium/fine, flexible nib, with an italic flair. Lightly stamped, but perfectly even and readable imprint. Near mint

1938 Mabie Todd Swan Vis-O-Fil VT340/78 vacuum-fill in Black & Silver Candystripe (web). A rare pen in beautiful celluloid! GFT. Visualated barrel. Mabie Todd’s answer to the Parker Vacumatic, Waterman Ink-Vue, and other such pens. To fill, the bottom blind cap is turned several times to reveal a plunger which is then pressed several times, each time adding more ink to the barrel. Fine, extra-flexible nib. A touch of brassing to the clip ball and cap bands, otherwise near mint.

1929 National Pen Co. Gold Medal #4 combination Pen – Pencil LF in Black & Pearl. GFT. “Warranted 14K 4″ nib (fine). Near mint+.

1910 Onoto #4 Straight-Holder plunger-fill in BHR with Sterling Silver “Filigree” overlay. Nib with both over and under feed. Indicia unmarked. Medium nib with a slight italic flair. Near mint+

1944 Morrison Patriot “Visual Vacuum Filler” in Dark Blue. Born out of WWII to promote patriotism at home. Morrison discontinued use of the lever-fill as materials were hard to obtain due to war efforts. This “syringe-filler” is made from celluloid and rubber – no metal at all. This model with rounded top for folks who didn’t want the slanted top with an armed forces emblem. GFT. 14K fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1946 Morrison Ball Bearing Pen “Visual Vacuum Filler” in Dark Blue. Post-war version of the “Patriot,” still using the “syringe-filler” although this example with a cork gasket rather than rubber. The pens no longer came with armed forces insignia. GFT. Signed “Morrison 14K USA” nib (medium, extra-flexible). Minor imprint wear (fully readable), otherwise near mint. By the way, I have no idea why this was called “The Ball Bearing Pen,” the name Morrison eventually gave to its ball pen. If you know, please let me know and I’ll add it to this description.

1947 Morrison “Monogram Pen” LF in Dark Blue. The war is over, materials are once again becoming available, and Morrison returned to the much more reliable lever-fill pen. While they streamlined the end of the barrel (consistent with most other manufacturers) they kept the slanted, flat top, designed to allow engraving of owner’s initials. “14K Made in USA” nib (medium). New-old-stock. Mint. [Date approximate. If you have better information, please let me know].

1929 Parker Duofold Sr. BF Set in Lapis (white on blue). GFT. Fine nib. Near mint, with original price/nib-size sticker on the pen (“117 Fine $7.00″). Fitted with a silicon sac.

1929 Parker Twist-activated pencil for above set.

1932 Parker Thrift Time BF in Smoke Blue Marble (rare color). GFT. Fine nib. Washer clip with matching Blue Pearl cap top. Barrel a shade darker than the cap, otherwise near mint.

1932 Parker Thrift Time BF in Bronze with Blue & White Veins. The only model in which Parker used this beautiful Celluloid! GFT. Broad nib. Near mint+.

1932 Parker Golden Arrow (Vacumatic) ring-top in Silver Laminated. The first “Vacumatic” introduced by Parker. Made for about 6 months before the name was changed to “Vacuum Filler” (in 1933 the name was changed again to “Vacumatic”). The ring-top model is even rarer than the clip model. NPT. Double-jeweled. Two-toned, medium/fine nib. Lock-down filler. There is some trim wear, surface scratches and imprint wear (fully readable), but otherwise wonderful condition for such a rare early Vacumatic!

1960 Parker 45 Flighter 4-Color Ball Pen in Brushed Lustraloy (Stainless Steel). Made in Germany. GFT. New-old-stock. Mint

1950 Pelikan 500 PIF set in Black with Gold-filled caps (alternating pinstriped and plain panels). Long visualated barrel with pinstripes (rare). No signs of ink, but I’ll call this “user grade” because of the name engraved onto the caps (Ellen Bode), the tad of brassing to the clip and the minor wear to the caps and barrels. No dents or dings to the metal. Fine nib, with a tad of flex.

1950 Pelikan Repeater Pencil for above set.

1959 Pelikan P1 650 Repeater Pencil in Green with Brushed Stainless Steel cap. New-old-stock. Mint [Also available with Black barrel @ $30]

1958 Pelikan P1 Demonstrator PIF in Clear Acrylic with Black turning knob and Brushed Stainless Steel cap. Hooded nib (double-broad, right oblique [shaped like left foot]). New-old-stock. Mint with original label (which incorrectly indicates the nib is “Medium”).

1960 Pelikan M30 cartridge/converter-fill in Black with Gold-filled cap (fully pinstriped). Visualated barrel. GPT. 18C semi-hooded medium nib. New-old-stock. Mint. Converter included. Where else can you get a pen with an 18C solid gold nib for only $75!?!

1970 Platinum “Pocket” 14 Short-Long cartridge/converter-fill in Black. GPT. 14K fine nib. Near mint+ with original label. Comes with an adapter so the pen can be used with standard international cartridges and a converter (included).

1935 Stratford #4 size Bulb-fill in Blue & Bronze Marble. Long, visualated barrel with “Word Gauge” telling you how many words you can write with the remaining ink. GP trim, including the lattice band. GP fine nib, marked “Durium 8.” New-old-stock. Mint.

1945 Stratford “Magnetic,” Rocket shaped BF in Blue. When closed, the magnets in the cap hold the cap in place onto the metal bushing just above the gripping section. When posted, the magnets in the cap hold the cap in place onto the metal ring just above the filler button and just below the “rocket fins.” Stratford 14K fine, flexible nib. Crisp imprint, but some minor signs of wear. Excellent+. This is the epitome of Space Age fountain pen design. Highly unusual and collectable!

1923 Waterman 75 eyedropper-fill HOLY WATER SPRINKLER in BCHR barrel and correct BHR cap. The cap top has the proper fitted rounded concave cork to seal the sprinkler holes (rather than a traditional inner cap). Any member of the Waterman “7x” family (eyedropper-fill with screw cap) is rare, and because so few Holy Water Sprinklers were manufactured, it is among the rarest! This is the first of these I have found since Catalog #45, nine years ago! NPT. New-old-stock, with original price label on the cap (“$1.00″). Mint

1913 Waterman 0502 eyedropper-fill Straight Holder in “Chased” pattern (commonly called “Snail” pattern). Indicia beautifully engraved “HEI 1913″ in Old-English script. Extra-fine, extra-flexible nib. A couple of scuffs on the posting knob and the model number on the bottom of the barrel is hard to read, otherwise near mint+.

1925 Waterman 55 LF in Red Ripple. Outstanding color! GFT. Fine, extra-flexible nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1933 Waterman 301 LF in Grey Pearl with Red Veins. Canadian manufacture. NPT. Extra-fine nib. User grade due to wear of the nickel plating on the cap band and a touch of imprint wear (fully readable).

1920 Anonymous Pens #0 LF ring-top in Black Hard Rubber. GFT. Pens this small (and even the Diamond Point below) were made for writing only very short entries, such as filling in a dance card or recording a Canasta score. They often came with a tassie attached to the ring. “Warranted 14K” medium nib. Near mint+.

1925 Anonymous #4 size LF ring-top in Blue with Dark Blue and White Veins (beautiful!). GFT. Extra-smooth, broad nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1920 Diamond Point #0 LF ring-top in Black Hard Rubber with a red Casein cap top. GFT. Medium, flexible nib (odd imprint on the nib: “Budget 14K”). A small but maker of top-quality pens until the Depression when their quality then dropped considerably (as did Conklin and other manufacturers pens as well). This example is a lever-fill, but Diamond Point produced eyedropper-fill pens as well. Near mint.
