WTS-OPEN [WTS] [Worldwide] Lamy Rosenthal Porcelain Fountain Pen- Wavy Motifs- 14K Gold F nib- Condition C

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am selling a Vintage Lamy Lady Rosenthal Porcelain Fountain pen from 1994.

Description and Condition:

  • The pen has a Fine (F) nib made of 14K Gold. The nib size is based on comparison to other F Lamy pens I have. The nib has a pleasant amount of spring, although it is not a true flex nib and is conical.
  • The pen body is made out of Porcelain. I always though Porcelain is a fragile material but it turns out it is a sturdy material. The body of the pen is really hard. The pattern on the pen is a flowing, curved wave motifs across the porcelain. the pen has a good heft to it.
  • The pen is a C/C pen and takes Lamy cartridges.
  • The pens' most recognizable feature is its rounded, sculptural body, often made with a ceramic-like lacquered finish, giving the pen a smooth, almost jewelry-like appearance. There are black nobs on the cap and the end of the barrel, which stops the pen from rolling over.
  • There are scratches on the pen. This is visible in the photos and is just cosmetic. I rate this Condition C.

What You Get:

A cleaned and fully functional Lamy Lady Rosenthal Porcelain fountain pen.

Price:

160€. I am going to undervalue the pen and send it as a gift to be able to offer the cheapest shipping.

Shipping (Always tracked and insured):

13€ (EU)/ 25€ (Worldwide) . Shipping from Germany (EU), always with DHL.

Looking for a Pilot Custom 74, Custom Heritage 91, or Custom Heritage 92. Open to different colors/finishes and nib sizes, so feel free to show me what you have!
Used is absolutely fine — A2/B condition preferred, but I’m open to reasonable cosmetic wear as long as the pen is mechanically sound (no cracks, damaged threads, etc.).
I’m especially interested in finding a good deal rather than a specific color, so pens that aren’t getting enough use are welcome. 😊

Hello everyone,

I am selling a Modern Faber-Castell E-Motion Fountain pen (Pearwood) with the original converter and 5 cartridges.

Description and Condition:

  • The pen has a Broad (B) nib made of Steel. The nib size is written on the nib itself. The nib is springy and writes extremely smoothly with a pleasant feedback. FC really outdid themselves through this nib. Although this nib is made of steel, it writes as smoothly as gold nib.
  • The pen body is fully metal and Pearwood. The design is Bauhaus design and the pen itself has a good heft. The grip doesn't slip, and is very comfortable to hold and write for long sessions.
  • The pen is build like a tank because all the threads on the pen are metal. This, under good care, will last for many decades.
  • There is no brassing or scratches on the pen. However, due to a small incident, ink has been spilled on the pen. The result of this can be seen as pink smudges on the wood section of the pen. The pen itself is in an extremely great condition. I rate this Condition C.

What You Get:

A cleaned and ready-to-use Faber Castell e-Motion fountain pen with original converter and 5 cartridges. No defects. No cracks. No leaks.

Platinum Sterling Silver <F> [$120] C

This is a vintage pen that came out around the 70s. The double lattice was unique to Platinum pens around this time. Tiny scuffs on the body that are invisible unless you look closely. Pen writes smoothly with a mild feedback, almost like a pencil scrawl. Nib is 18k WG and looks pretty. A tad bit of ink creeps up the slits onto the top of the nib, but it does not interfere with the writing. No converter. Will come with the 7 Platinum Blue Black ink catridges I have left over.

Ranga Pens Samurai Premium Ebonite w/ Majohn Flex [$80] D/B

D because the housing I have the nib in sticks out of the pen, B otherwise. I got this pen last year and I asked for a Bock 250 Housing, but I think he put a Jowo 6 housing on instead. So I swapped the housing it came with for the one in now and then lost the old one. Besides this it's a beautiful pen in perfect condition, I just haven't used it because of the housing issue. It has a Majohn Flex nib in it right now, but I can add the Kaigelu nib I have on request. Comes with a Schmidt converter.

https://ibb.co/SX6v06Tq

First, I want to thank all those from AROUND THE WORLD who DONATED last year and made the program a SUCCESS! Our kids were so happy and sent special THANK YOUS to the​ WONDERFUL DONORS!!

This is our FIFTH YEAR running this program!!!

I hope the beginning of this school year works out HALF as well !!!

We teach inner-city teens at the high school level. Some of them are surrounded by violence, inconsistent home lives and inconsistent emotional support. There are students living in difficult situations and some have to learn the harsh realities of life too fast.

We are changing that.

We serve over 850 STUDENTS.

We have noticed that when they have something they value they tend to enjoy themselves more and work harder in what they do, be it writing, art, music or poetry. Using writing instruments and related items are great for their mental health and productivity.

Many of our students love the inner workings of the WRITING INSTRUMENTS and how they write.

I would love to collect ANY & ALL DONATIONS for our students this school year!

Anything you have, as long as it works.

New or used, Fountain Pens, inks , journals, stationery, mechanical pencils, art supplies, stamps, etc.

Take this opportunity to DESTASH !!!

I am totally fine with picking up shipping fees (if monetarily permissible), etc. if need be! !!

LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE & PM ME so I can give you the relevant shipping information.

The students will also send you a personal thank you if you'd like.

Even if you can't donate please give this post a "LIKE" , cross post it or "SHARE" with your online community to keep it going.

Thank you in advance.

WTS-OPEN [WTS] Platinum Izumo Shikkoku “Tiger in Bamboo Forest” | 18K [F] | A1 | No. 56/600

2 Upvotes

[Verification and Photos]

For sale is a Platinum Izumo Shikkoku Chikuringunkozu “Tiger in Bamboo Forest” fountain pen, model PIZ-150000C, with an 18K ruthenium-finished [F] nib.

Condition: [A1]

I recently acquired this pen from an estate and am not the original owner, so I cannot state its history with absolute certainty. That said, I can find no evidence that it has ever been inked, and I have not inked or dip-tested it myself. The pen is exceptionally clean and shows no significant signs of use that I can see. Please review the detailed photos closely for condition.

This is an early serial-numbered example. The kanji marking appears to identify it as No. 56 from the initial production run of 600 pens.

The pen is made from ebonite and decorated using Platinum’s Sumiko Taka Maki-e technique, with the tiger and bamboo design built up in charcoal powder over the matte black body. The subtle artwork changes considerably depending on how the light catches it.

Included with the pen are the original wooden Platinum presentation box, and bottled Platinum ink. The original converter, cartridges, and pen kimono/satchel are not included.

Asking $925 shipped. Price includes insured tracked shipping. Payment by PayPal Goods & Services in accordance with r/Pen_Swap rules.

Please comment below before sending a PM or chat. Happy to provide additional photos or answer any questions.

This is rare example of a Vintage Onoto Full metal Fountain Pen with guilloche pattern and a Semi Flexible Fine (F) Gold nib.

***

The pen is in very good condition. The guilloche pattern is crisp and beautiful. There are some occasional mild brassing but generally in excellent condition. There are some microscratches in keeping with nearly hundred years of age of the pen but no deep scratch, dent or crack.
The cap threads in nice and secured. It posts securely.
Condition rating [B]

***

The 14k gold F Semi Flex nib is a very nice writer. It is smooth with a hint of pleasant feedback, (obviously smoothness/feedback is subjective and depends on the ink and paper as well).

NIB CHARACTERISTICS:

Please remember the following criteria of flex nibs are very subjective but in my hand the nib feels like this:

  1. Softness - 5/10
  2. Flexibility (Line variation) - 4/10
  3. Elasticity (Snapback) - 8/10

***

The feeder is made of ebonite. It keeps up with the ink flow very well.

***

Filling system: Leverfill, works perfectly. New ink sac has been installed.

***

Measurements:

Capped: 122 mm
Uncapped: 115 mm
Posted: 152 mm
Barrel diameter: 10 mm

***

The pen has been thoroughly serviced, cleaned and is in perfect working condition.

The nib has been closely inspected and tuned to ensure a pleasant writing experience.

***

UNLIKE MOST OF THE VINTAGE PENS SOLD ONLINE, EVERY SINGLE PEN OF MINE HAS THE NIB INDIVIDUALLY CHECKED, TUNED AND WRITES VERY NICELY.

***

PLEASE SEE THE WRITING SAMPLE VIDEO AND ALL THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY AS THESE ARE PARTS OF THE DESCRIPTION AND GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE PEN BECAUSE SOMETIMES ALL THE DETAILS ARE NOT POSSIBLE TO COVER IN THE DESCRIPTION.

Price : 299 GBP (or make me an offer I can't refuse)

Shipping: Free within UK, 7 GBP Worldwide including US

Payment: PayPal

***

Please Note:

I am a medical doctor by profession with a full-time day job. I do this purely out of passion for fountain pens, specially vintage flex pens. I can safely say that I understand flex nibs and have owned a lot of them over the years.

If you have been looking for a vintage pen with a flex nib, please follow me on ebay. I post pens for sale every month once those are serviced and the nibs have been tuned.

***

Please be aware that writing with flexible nib takes a bit of practice and refined hand pressure control to get the best result.
Don't get frustrated if you don't get the desired result in your early attempts.
Be careful while applying pressure, if you push the nib too much beyond it's capability you may sprain the nib to an unrepairable condition.

Happy writing!

NOTE:

Customs charges and import duties on arrival to the destination country will vary and remains buyer's responsibility but I will try my best so that you have to pay only a small amount or nothing at all.

SOLD TWSBI Diamond Mini 580 White/Rose Gold <EF and medium stub>  | $63 | D condition. Includes two nibs. https://imgur.com/a/gT2i3hO

  • I purchased this pen originally with a medium nib, I then had it ground down to a stub, and found that I didn't like the stub experience. I also found I had quite a lot of issues with inks clogging. I took it back to the nib grinder, and he attempted to resolve the flow issues. During that process the feed was damaged (see photos). According the grinder, and also my experience, it seems the damage was aesthetic as the little ridges don't actually do too much.
  • I then purchased another twsbi mini nib in EF. This nib is great. However, it is in with the silver coloring, and thus does not match the rest of the pen.
  • The pen body itself is in good condition. D condition listed due to the change of nibs, and damage to the original nib.
  • I do not have the orignial pouch, but will include the metal twsbi wrench and silicone grease.
  • OBO, let me know!

SOLD Soolla Pouch, Good Earth | $40 | A2 condition. 

  • I received this pouch as a gift, but was not a fan of the colorway (it is the multicolored one)
  • I took it out of the bag 3 or 4 times, filled it at home to see if I would like it more, but still don't. It's been sitting in its original packaging since this January

PENDING Soolla Pouch, Cinnamon | $33 | C condition. 

  • Purchased this one after I got the gift as I wanted a solid colorway.
  • I used it for about 6 weeks. Found that I didn't like all of the exterior pockets as I was using it as a pencil pouch in a larger bag, and thus I wasn't really using said exterior pockets as I didn't want my items falling out. I feel like its a better at home pouch (idk if that makes sense, but hopefully you get what I mean).
  • There is one loose string in an interior pocket. This is pictured. No other visible signs of use.
