Stephen's Lever Fill No 106 - Green Marbled




>>> For your consideration is a green marbled Stephens's Lever Fill no 106. In restored working condition with a new ink sac fitted. Not a mint pen but no cracks, hairlines or other damage as such. Pen measures 12,9 cms when capped so quite a large pen. Fitte with a wonderful respnsive 14 kt warranted nib with a medium point. Only looking for £22 plus shipping

Conway Stewart Executive Model 60 - Largest made vintage Conway Stewart model




>>> For your consideration is a Conway Stewart Executive Model 60 in classic black. This is the de luxe model and the largest vintage pen that Conway Stewart of London made with the wide gold filled cap band. It is 13cms long when capped and quite a fat pen in the hand. In good, restored condition with a new ink sac fitted. No cracks or hairlines etc. Could do with a polish up but otherwise a sound pen. There is a name engraving 'L.M. Braddock' on the barrel but it is tastefully rendered. The CS 60 is fitted with its original very large 14kt Conway Stewart Duro nib. I'd guess it has a medium to fine point on it. 

Was looking for £75, will now accept £56 plus shipping. This is a bargain price for a big pen with big gold nib  like this!

Fend Truxa 4 coloured Ballpoint



>>>>> A nice mechanical ballpoint with choice of 4 colours actioned via levers in the barrel. 

In faultless condition. Insides will have dried up but I understand the tubes can be readily replaced. 

Fend were of course considered the premier manufacturer of metal and gold filled pens of the 1940s to 1960s. They actually made many of Montblanc's gold filled pens and Pix series of gf pencils.

Vintage Columbus 68 -Black Celluloid from 1960s



Columbus 68 piston filler with a classic understated look. A sweet, perfect Columbus 14kt nib is fitted and it is in perfect working condition. There are some fine hairlines to the cap lip but these are barely perceptible and stable and otherwise the pen is about perfect. £85

Vintage 1940s Pelikan100N Grey Marbled - Superb Pen !





A superb Pelikan 100N with the more sought after grey marbled binde. The binde on this is about mint and lustrous as is the near perfect green ink window. In great working shape. Fitted with correct for this model, C nib with a fine point. Only issue is a couple of tooth marks on the cap top- easily swapped from another pen or, if you have the time, hand polished out. Looking for £225 for this one, the second best Grey I've owned.
