Great pens for sale! Rather than a tray of more contemporary pens, I have a selection of cool vintage fountain pens that I’m listing here for sale. Some of these pens may be ink-ready; the rest probably are not. I don’t have the time or energy to disassemble, clean, polish, re-sac and reassemble these vintage pens, so assume that all of these are unrestored and will need cleaning and new sacs when you get them. I have not dipped any in ink to test how they write. There is no way to warranty a 60, 70, 80+ year old used pen, so they are being sold “as is”. If there is something you’re interested in and need more information or pictures to help, please reach out and I’ll reply with whatever you need. The first “I’ll take it” gets the pen(s). Add $10 for USPS insured shipping within CONUS; international shipping at cost. Payment with PayPal (g/s) or use Zelle (preferred). If you have any questions or would like additional photos, PM me here or preferably email me at (gfc dot vegas at gmail dot com)
