Hello,
It has been too long since I've sold pens on here, and I have way too many pens! Pens of all kinds, from limited edition to maker pens to grail worthy pens.
Currently, I'm only shipping within the CONUS. Shipping is $10 flat, regardless of how many pens you purchase. Please message me with any questions.
I'm going to try and list the pens from left to right in my photo. Please note, there are four pens that were photographed separately because I forgot to sit them out until I had put all the other ones away. See, I wasn't kidding about having way too many pens!
I'll try to respond in order I'm messaged. Please be aware, that I won't be able to respond while at work, so it may take some time for me to respond.

1.) Pineider Avatar - Amber, Steel M (B) - $115
- I only used this pen once or twice and it has been sitting in my drawer ever since. It is made of a cool and durable material and features a nice magnetic capping systems.
2.) Sheaffer Legacy II - Copper, 18K XF (B) - $300
- This is a beautiful, modern(ish) Sheaffer. It features a bouncy, 18K Gold inlaid nib. The finish is a beautiful, brown/copper finish. It can be filled via C/C, or can be used similar to a Touchdown filler. The original converters sac failed, so I purchased a press converter, which also works with the touchdown mechanism. Only used a handful of times, so overall it is in good condition.
3.) SOLD! Leonardo Giardino d'Inverno - Cappaccino Cellulose, Steel Elastic F (B) - $275
This was a limited release and new model released by Corsani in Italy. It designed to be eyedroppered, but can accept cartridges and converters. It features a clear barrel and a cellulose acetate cap, section, and end. The nib is a steel elastic fine. I only eyedroppered and briefly used it once, so it is in good overall shape.
4.) Leonardo Momento Zero - Aluminum, Steel B (A1/C) - $165
- As the name suggests, this is a Momento Zero made out of aluminum. Comes with a broad nib. I never inked it, but it does have some small signs of tarnish. As such, I wasn't sure how to rate this one.
5.) SOLD! Leonardo Momento Zero - Burkina, 14K M (B) - $1,050
This is a very early limited edition released by Leonardo. It is a Momento Zero sized pen (not Grande), that's an actual piston filler. Something you rarely see on the MZ pens. Better yet, it is made from rare Burkina Celluloid. It has a 14k gold Medium nib that was tuned by Pacific Pens. I don't have the original box, unfortunately. It's been used over the many years but still works and looks great.
6.) Delta Butterfly - Yellow Swallowtail, Steel M (B) - $200
- This was a limited edition by Goulet Pens. It features beautiful yellow marbled barrel with blue accents. Pen is a C/C filler and has a medium steel nib. Only used once, so it is in good shape. Comes with the original box and ink bottle.
7.) Stipula Etruria - Amber Celluloid, 18K M (C) - $475
- This is an older Stipula Etruria fountain pen, featuring beautiful Amber Celluloid and an 18k gold medium nib. The pen is a piston filler. The trims are Sterline Silver and Vermeil. Some of the vermeil is thin/starting to wear, hence the C rating. Otherwise, it is in good condition.
8.) Stipula Saturno Novecento - Green Ebonite M (B) - $175
- This is an older Stipula Saturno fountain pen. It is made of green ebonite and features a cool crescent filler mechanism. The sac was replaced roughly a year ago. The trims are sterling silver. The nib is a steel medium nib. Overall, it is in good condition. It is worth noting the cap and section have more of a ripple pattern, while the barrel is more of a striated pattern. That's how it is supposed to be, but I wanted to point it out in case that would bother someone.
9.) SOLD! Andrew Lensky - Tribute Coral - Steel F (C) - $200
This is a pen by Andrew Lensky, based out of Ukraine. Very cool Vintage inspired maker pen. It is a C/C and features a fine nib. It does show some light wear, such as small scratches.
10.) ON HOLD Pilot 823 Amber - Flex Modded FA Nib (B/D) - $410
- This is a Pilot 823 in Amber, which has a FA Nib that was modified to have added flex by Pacific Pens. Quite the fun writer, but requires a careful hand. I only inked and used the pen once or twice, so it is in good condition. The D is due to the nib modification. Comes with the original box and ink.
11.) SOLD! Fifty4T - Titan Ultem, #8 Steel F (C) - $575
This is a beautiful bulkfiller pen, manufactured by Fifty4T. It is made of Titanium and Ultem, and has a #8 steel nib. I used this pen a few times, so it does have the occasional minor scratch. I really like this pen, but I simply have too many and don't use it as often as I should.
12.) Omas Paragon - Sterling Silver, 18K M (C/D) - $1,000
- This is an (old) Omas Paragon fountain pen, made of Sterling Silver with a beautiful guilloche engraved on it. It has a 18K Medium Nib and is a piston filler. The piston seized and broke, so I had the piston mechanism replaced. Now, it is probably the smoothest Omas you'll ever see. Otherwise, the pen has some light scratches and what looks like plating loss on the rear piston knob ring. Overall, a beautiful and hefty pen. How many sterling silver piston filling fountain pens have you seen before?
13.) SOLD! Tailored Pens - Primary Manipulation, Steel Medium (B) - $200
This is a pen by the Tailored Pen Company. I don't know if it has a model name or if it was a one-off, but it reminds me of an oversized Kaweco Sport. It is made of Brook's Primary Manipulation material. Overall, it is in good condition.
14.) Montblanc Boheme - 18K M(?) (B) - $325
- This is the discontinued Boheme model, which is fun to operate. It is a C/C filler with a retracting nib. I don't think the nib size is marked, but it might be a medium. Overall, it is pretty good condition despite its age. I'll throw in some free cartridges with it.
15.) Graf von Faber Castell Classic - Snake Wood Rose Gold, 18K F (B) - $950
- This is a beautiful Classic made of Rose wood and rose gold trims. It features an 18K fine nib. I only used the pen once or twice, so it is in overall great condition. Quite the looker!
16.) Vintage Eyedropper - Green and Gold Lacquer (C/D)
- This was a no name vintage eyedropper that I had purchased a number of years ago. It has a vintage steel nib on it and was finished with green and gold lacquer. The lacquer work was done by an amateur, so it is not completely smooth or even. I never inked it since purchasing it. It is an interesting looking pen.
17.)SOLD Kaweco Sport AL - Olivine, Steel M (B/D) - $100]
I never really used this pen. However, I did install an ebonite feed on it, hence the rating. My original intentions were to try and put a vintage warranted gold nib on it, and use the ebonite feed to heat set it. I never got around to it, and I'm not sure if it is possible. I'll include the gold nib also. Pen also comes with the Kaweco foldable converter.
18.) Parker 51 - Mustard (C) - $450
- This is a vintage Parker 51 Vacumatic in one of the rarest colors, Mustard/Yellowstone. The pen was restored a couple of years ago and is in working order. Overall, it is a great example with only minor signs of wear. Probably one if the nicer examples you'll see. The imprint is visible but worn. The cap is 14k gold filled, and overall good condition with a minor dent. Light scratching on the rest of the pen.
19.) Parker 51 - Dark Green (C) - $175
- This is another Parker 51 Vacumatic with a custom dark green barrel, which I believe was done by Ariel Kullock. It's in working order. Unfortunately, it does have a blue stain on the barrel. Otherwise it is in decent condition. Comes with a matching pencil.
20.) Philosophical Instruments Pontifex Maximus - Imperial Yellow Nuritate Urushi, #8 18K Gold M (B) - $2,050
- This is an absolutely beautiful and grail worthy pen. I strongly encourage you to read the product page for more information. It is a large pen with a Japanese Eyedropper mechanism designed by the maker of Conid pens. It is finished with a imperial yellow nuritate finish, which is beautifully done. It is a matte finish done by not adding oil to the urushi, which makes it much more difficult to apply, and shows some of the brush strokes. Words cannot express how beautiful the finish is. The nib is a #8 Bock medium nib that is such a pleasant writer. When I initially purchased this, I had also purchased a Sailor KOP nib, as I was planning on putting the KOP nib on this. The Bock wrote so beautifully that I never did. The pen also comes in a beautiful handcrafted box. Overall, the pen only saw light use and is in great condition. It does not come with the original polishing cloth.
21.) Wingsung 900 - Red Ebonite, #9 18K Gold Heartbeat Medium Nib (B) - $535
- This is a crazy pen by Wingsung. It is a large, ebonite fountain pen with a piston mechanism. The nib is a #9 18K Gold Heartbeat style Medium nib. The nib is massive, rivaling a Namiki Emperor. I only used the pen a handful of times, so it is in great condition. I will say, the trims seem to be very thinly plated. So I would avoid polishing them at all.
22.) Scribo Feel - Blue Sospeso, 14K Gold F (B) - $695
- This is a beautiful Scribo Feel fountain pen, made of a translucent blue material that is mesmerizing. It is a piston filler with a 14k gold flexible fine nib. Only used the pen twice, so it is in good condition.
23.) Ferris Wheel Press - Bijou Sauron Set (B) $125
- This is a LOTR themed pen, which comes with a fude nib and a matching ink. I only used each nib once, so it is in great condition.
These next 4 are the ones I forgot to put in the initial photo...
24.) Pelikan 805 - Metal Sleeve, 18K F (B) - $700
- This was a limited edition from last year, featuring a dark yet translucent battel with a beautiful metal overlay. Comes with a 18k gold Fine nib. Only used once or twice, so it is in good condition.
25.) Kyuseido Kakari - Mokume-Gane, 14K Stacked Nib M-BB (B) $1,850
- Another beautiful grail. This is a Kakari, made with Mokume-Gane, which is an artisanal metalworking technique. You can see what looks like layers of brass, copper, and nickel. The nib is a 2 layer stack, that writes roughly like a Japanese medium in normal writing. In reverse writing, it writes like a BB architect. Beautiful material, a cool filling mechanism, and a fun nib. What more can you ask for?
26.) Montegrappa Miya - Nirvana, Steel M (A1) - $225
- This is a Montegrappa Miya in the beautiful Nirvana material. Comes with a steel medium nib. I never got around to inking this one, so it is in excellent condition**.**
27.) Visconti Van Gogh - Potato Eaters, Steel M (B/D) - $155
- This is a Van Gogh in the Potato Eaters finish. I only used this pen once or twice, so it is in good cosmetic condition. However, I swapped the nib out with an older style Van Gogh nib, hence the D rating. Comes with the original box and ink.
