Left to Right:
1. Namiki Custom Sterling Silver, Lines, 18k B, C/C Filler- This is a beautiful sterling silver Namiki from the 1990’s, meant to compete against the likes of the metal Montblanc 146s. This was a very high end pen but not a big seller, and was linked to the Pilot Custom 745 and 748, which was basically the same pen with a larger #15 nib. Sterling silver lined pattern with gold plated trim. This pen features a #10 two toned 18k Namiki broad nib, which is a beautiful writer, and uses the Con-70 converter or cartridges. This pen is very hard to source these days, and would make an outstanding addition to any Pilot or Namiki collection. Pen has been inked to test, but appears new, and comes with boxes and papers. $675 Shipped SOLD!
2. Pilot Art Craft, Dragon, 18k M, C/C Filler- Beautiful Pilot Art Craft sterling silver fountain pen with a raised Dragon design. 18k white gold medium nib. Sterling trim. NOS with box, converter, and papers. $375 Shipped SOLD!
3. Namiki Impressions, Emerald, Rollerball- I have here a beautiful Emerald marbled Namiki Impressions rollerball. This incredible Mazzuchelli resin is a mixture of black, emerald green, and teal blue. It is no longer made, and hard to source these days. The trim is gold plated, and the clip is marked Namiki. The pen appears to be unused, and is in excellent/NM condition. There are no boxes or papers, however. $180 Shipped SOLD!
4. Pilot 742, Black, 18k M, C/C Filler- OK, here’s a bit of a mutt. This is a brand new Pilot 742, which originally came with the new 14k Signature nib. I really wanted to try the nib, but I’m not a fan of the plain black 742 pen. I ended up swapping the nib onto my Pilot Ishime, and so this pen now has the 18k medium nib from my Ishime. The 742 does not come with the 18k nib, so this pen isn’t actually correct. As far as the pens go, the 742 is mint and still has the S sticker. The 18k #10 medium nib is a perfect match, writes smoothly and has good ink flow. Comes with box, papers, and converter. $175 Shipped
5+6. Burberry Fountain Pen, Brown Lacquer, GP M, C/C Filler- I’m calling this one Japanese, even though it’s branded Burberry it’s made by Pentel. The nib is the typical Japanese slender pen style nib. This pen and pencil set is a dark brown marbled lacquer, which unfortunately is not well shown in the pictures. The clips feature a lacquered Burberry tartan design, and the Burberry logo is on each piece. The nib is a medium, and will probably write on the finer side. I do not know what kind of cartridge or converter this will accept, and it does not include the converter. I will do a little research on that! The pencil appears to be a .5mm. The set looks mint NOS, and includes box but no papers or converter. $100 Shipped for the set. SOLD!
6+5. Burberry Pencil, Brown Lacquer- Part of the pen and pencil set with #5. SOLD!
7. Platinum Armor, Stainless Steel, SS M-F, C/C Filler- This is the more basic version of the Platinum Stainless Steel Armor fountain pen, with a stainless steel medium-fine nib. NOS with box and papers. Converter not included. $50 Shipped
8. Graf Von Faber Castell, Ebony Wood, Rollerball- This is the classic GVFC Ebony Wood fountain pen with silver plated cap and trim. Beautiful fluted ebony wood barrel. NOS in box with papers. Will likely need a new refill. Cap and trim might need a little polish. $160 Shipped SOLD!
9. Montblanc Noblesse, Gold Plate, 14k B nib, C/C Filler- This is a really funky Montblanc Noblesse fountain pen with an unusual gold plated bark type pattern and a sweet, juicy broad nib. The pattern on the pen appears to have random cuts or gouges, which contribute to a sort of bark style pattern. The nib is a 14k brown, and is a real pleasure to use. Very soft and wet writing. This one accepts the standard cartridge, but because of how slender it is I don’t know if it will accept a standard converter. The pen is in excellent condition, the only flaw I can see is that the gold color of the cap and barrel are not a perfect match. The Montblanc snowflake logo is at both ends of the pen. Cool 70s era MB! $225 Shipped
10. Faber Castell Neo Slim, Olive Green, SS M, C/C Filler- This is a new color for the Neo Slim, a cool brushed grey-green. The trim and stainless steel nib are black PVD coated. The nib is a medium, smooth but firm. Writes a little on the finer side. Pen has been inked to test, is otherwise new. Comes with box but no converter. Will take a standard international converter. $35 Shipped
11. Rotring 900 Ballpen, Silver- This is a really cool Rotring model with a ribbed design and an unusual clip that curves down from the center of the cap. This is the regular click bullpen, not the wacky side clip. The material is a matte finish silver. The pen has a really nice substantial feel in the hand. I have two of these, one pretty much mint in box for $160 Shipped. The second pen also appears new but does not come with the original box. I’m asking $150 Shipped for that one.
12. Rotring Esprit, Green, SS M, C/C Filler- The Rotring Esprit was a minimalistic Rotring design with a contoured section. Metallic green finish. The trim and medium nib are stainless steel. Mint and stickers pen, but no converter or box included. $50 Shipped
