It is rare to see a an early eyedropper with semi-precious stones. This model cataloged for $20 back in 1913. There was only one other pen priced as high as $20 and that was the gold filled Aztec. Except, The Pen Of Pens, which was priced at $250. But there are no known examples of the Pen of Pens. There are less than a handful of the Parker 39 in collections. I have heard of a few others that have been found. The #54 is the same design as the #39 but without the stones. The buyer could select pearls or semi-precious stones. This example has amethysts and red, ruby-like stones intermixed (most likely garnets). The top of the cap is flat and it flares so that the buyer could have their initials engraved. The top of the cap could then be used as a wax seal. This example has not been so inscribed but has a dedication in the indicia. The number 39 is still present on the butt end of the barrel but is extremely faint. It can be seen with a loupe and with the barrel held at an angle. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this model. Don't miss it. Please email us for pricing. Contact

The Zaner Bloser company made pens for the improvement of penmanship. These were curved shaped barrels which made the pen easier to hold and theoretically, helped improve penmanship. Often seen in stick pens but not often as Parker Duofolds. This is a "rare bird". The pen has no cracks, chips, or other issues. The cap imprint(no barrel imprint on this model due to the shape) is crisp. The pen is restored and ready to use. There is a bit of darkening to the center of the barrel. Other than that a fine example of a rare pen.
This is an extremely rare pen with less than a dozen known. The pen was available as an eyedropper and a lever filler. This is the lever filler version and can be used as a daily writer (if you dare!). The condition is 9 out of 10 with a few light taps to the dome of the cap. The #452 is clear to read on the butt end of the cap and there is no engraving on the cartouche. No dents or dings other than described. The pen is restored with a new sac.

Offered is a Waterman 414 PSF. It is all original and in near mint condition with no flaws to mention. This model is amongst the rarest that Waterman produced and was made for approximately one year(1913). The pen fills by placing a coin in the slot and depressing the pressure bar. Waterman offered a special oval coin with the Waterman logo on it but any coin will do. The pen has raised barrel threads typical of all the pens in the PSF series. The pen is 5 inches long, restored and ready to use. The nib is a Waterman #2 Medium with a bit of Flex.
The U.S. Fountain Pen Company made a telescoping pen. It appears as if they made this pen for Parker. It is very rare to find a telescoping pen that is fully marked "Parker Fountain Pen". This pen has the Parker imprint on the cap lip and on the GF clip. It is an eyedrop-filler and is in remarkable condition. There are 2 tiny dings on the rounded bottom end. A 1/4 inch square area of brassing on the bottom end's lip and a small teat mark on the cap lip. Overall a 9/10. The pen measures 5 inches long when extended and 4 inches in the unextended position. It is ready to write with a Parker lucky curve 2 medium nib.

This is one of the rarest pens in the world. A Waterman 20-sized red hard rubber eyedropper. It is also a POC which is a threaded version. I know of no other RHR 20 POC in mint, unuised condition. Truly, a rare bird! This is the largest pen that Waterman made and to find one in red hard rubber and in mint condition is almost impossible. This pen was never used. When I purchased it had no nib. I have put a Waterman #10 nib in the pen. The imprints are flawless. This is a museum quality pen. Contact us for details, price and addititional images.

This is one of the hottest pens on the market. It is a vintage Pilot Namiki from the mid 1920s. This ring top is 4 1/4 inches from the top of the cap to the bottom of the barrel (excluding the bale). It is all original and in excellent condition for a lacquered pen. The art on the cap appears to be a representation of Mount Fuji with a red river flowing at its base. The barrel clearly depicts a crouching rabbit in silver and gold tones. The rabbit is surrounded by green stalks. The images appear to be intact. The nib is an original Pilot, manifold 14 kt, #2. The only flaw to mention is a bit of rubbing caused from posting the cap. There is also a tiny nick, or pin dot mark above the rabbit. The artwork is not affected bt either issue.
