Montblanc Meisterstük 149 (Circa 1980's)
$425.00
The Montblanc 149 is a classic, beautiful, oversized model made of precious resin. The nib is a 14K, tri0color, medium point nib which writes a 0.60 mm, smooth, wet line. This era of 149 is of the highest quality. This particular pen came to me from a collector in Ohio. I had it serviced by Ron Zorn, a well-known authority and restorer in the hobby. You’ll not be disappointed. You’ll not be disappointed. You’ll not be disappointed.
Waterman Laureat I (Circa 1980s)
$60.00
The Waterman Laureat was introduced in 1985, enjoying a 15-year production as a midline pen.
It is quite a distinctive model with a prominent black band between the barrel and the cap when the pen is capped. This comes from the section, which has a straight full-diameter part, as well as some ribbed bits on the grip.
The Waterman Laureat will forever hold a special place in my heart as it was the very first fountain pen I received when I was 19 years old. I have several color variations in my personal collection.
This model features a blue-gray marbled cap and barrel with gold trim and a medium point, 14K plated nib. It writes a smooth, wet line.
Aurora Ipsilon - Satin Orange (Circa 1990s)
$85.00
Purchased from Levenger in the late 1990s, this pen come from my personal collection. It is a beautiful orange color with a soft satin/matte feel. It is an exceptional writer. As will all my pens, this Italian pen has always been safely stored in either a pen cabinet or leather pen sleeve. No scratches, dings, chips, or cracks. It is in near mint condition.

Esterbrook "SJ" in Silver $45.00 (Circa Late 1940s)
Since 1858, Esterbrook has been a symbol of American craftsmanship, inspiring generations. Icons like JFK and Charles Schulz used Esterbrook pens for crucial work. Today, we blend heritage with modern innovation, creating pens that honor this legacy of elegance and precision.
This little workhorse of a pen was the standard in many public school systems, businesses, and government agencies back in the 1940s and 50s. This pen is in excellent condition, is fully restored, and is ready to write.
*Note: I have several J, LJ, and SJ models in various colors. Please email me if you are looking for a specific vintage Esterbrook.

This particular pen came from the collection of Barry Gabay, one of the contributing editors of Pen World magazine. It is a truly excellent pen.
RARE! NOS Sheaffer Balance II Blue Cobalt (Circa 1990s) - $295.00
Well, THIS doesn’t happen everyday! I made aquaintence with a former Bic Pen Company employee who worked for Bic when they bought the Sheaffer Pen Company. He has held on to some beautiful, brand new Sheaffer rollerballs and fountain pens from his days in sales. This stunning cobalt blue Balance II has never seen ink. It’s brand new and comes in original box and case, with converter and ink cartridge.
Montblanc Meisterstük 146 (Near Mint) $385.00
This early 1990s model was given as a gift to a recipient who rarely used it beyond the first inking. I comes with all the original packaging and documentation. This was a truly excellent estate sale find. It is a marvelous example of this model. (Fine point nib. Smooth, wet, beautiful writer).
