Greetings (PIC below)
I have a repairman's special, great for new collectors who wish
to explore pen repair and who would like to embrace the 2nd/3rd/4th tier pens
that were offered in the 1930's for 50¢ to $2 at a time the good
stuff cost $5-10.
You get 19 pens and a pencil-- all unrestored, some perhaps working
(pencil works)-- in glorious colorful Celluloid. The cheap aspects of
these pens were trim, nib, thread quality. The colors were as good or
better than some of what the big boys offer

One or two probably have bad tipping but can be smoothed to nice
writers. One or two likely have base cracks (not affecting function) in
the nibs.
The big green pen at upper fight has a replacement Esterbrook nib in it, but a
vaunted 9314 medium oblique from the high-line 9000 series, the sort I sell
alone in the $25-35 range. That pen lacks its clip though.
There are some 14k solid gold nibs. There are some nibs with Flex.
There are a couple slightly "better" pens (relatively speaking) in this
lot I should have yanked for separate sale, but what the heck... Moore
Writer is a low end Moore, a low end but full-flex 14k-nib pen by this
maker of good pens. An Aikin-Lambert VisoPen from Aikins waning days
owned by Waterman.
The EPENCO (division of Eagle Pencil Company) and Majestic have really pretty
plastic.
Most of these are lever fillers, relatively easy to restore. Most have weak
trim plating often with gold-wash lost.
I'm still clearing out some of the back-of-the-cabinet stuff after
moving to new apartment. These will go to Vacumania's Basement, but I
figure it might be nice to offer some pens first to the pen lists.
How to buy:
* First "Yes, fershure" gets the pile
* Payment by Paypal to isaacson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx after confirming
availability with me. Thanks.
* Shipping in USA is included in price and includes the case. Shipping
International requires extra $30, and pens will ship without
the plastic case d/t need then for larger box. We can try to figure
something out if you really want the plastic case.
Email isaacson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. A "Yes" on list is fine, but I don't check
that frequently. First note to my email gets it
Regards
David Isaacson
