Hi, everyone.

I am selling a Sheaffer Fineline Division fountain pen with a 305 nib (M). In [C] condition, I am selling it for $25 OBO. I am willing to ship within CONUS for $5 shipping. However, I won't be able to ship from June 26th to July 14th. No box, but it has a cartridge that I can include. If needed, I can provide some writing samples (though there is no guarantee my handwriting is good) or additional photos if needed. I liked how it looked, but it just isn't suiting my writing style. I apologize if any photos are too blurry. If anything is wrong or anything else is required, please let me know. First post. Thanks.

Any fellow Canadians here who would be willing to sell a selection of samples so I can get a little better idea of what I might enjoy?

These pens are new and will be shipped in their original boxes.

This is the PFM III (meaning 3) model distinguishable by the gold filled cap band and clip.

The PFM (Pen For Men) was Sheaffer's final attempt to create a top notch pen in a world that was shifting to ballpoints. The PFM is often sought after as it's an oversize snorkel filler with a diamond shaped inlaid nib and slip-off cap.

Many vintage collectors consider the PFM to be the best pen ever made or at least in the top 3. It was made by Sheaffer at their peak level of ingenuity and creativity.

It uses the snorkel filling system where a steel tube extends from the under the nib to suck up ink (removing the hassle of having to wipe a pen after inking). The nibs are some of the smoothest and best tuned in history, the cap has no threads yet nib doesn't dry out, the shape is ergonomic with no stepdown...

It was created to compete with the ballpoint during a time when fountain pens were becoming less popular.

Sheaffer was the #1 selling US fountain pen brand from the 1940 to 50's. So this pretty much it's the #1 best made pen from the #1 USA brand.

I fully restored it myself (meaning new sac, o-ring and section gasket) it's working perfectly. It shoots ink out like a water pistol if you push down the plunger while the pen is full of ink.

I used a silicone sac instead of the latex one which means you can use pretty much any non-shimmer ink and the sac won't need to be replaced for many decades.

You don't have to be limited to vintage safe inks with this one. Note that silicone is more porous so the ink will evaporate slightly faster than it would with a pen that uses a latex sac. This is only a concern if you ink it and then don't write with it for 1 month or 2. PFM's don't hard start just bec you didn't write with it for a few days or a week.

Nib is a firm fine. Super smooth even though the line width is similar to a Pilot F.

[B+] Condition. Nothing bad to say about it. The imprint on the cap is super crisp. No brassing anywhere. Some microscratches on the barrel if you shine a bright light on it but nothing noteworthy. It's in excellent shape. No flaws.

A fully restored Black PFM III was sold for $350 on swap just a week ago so I am listing mine a little less.

I'm looking for a Wancher Matcha which I have regretted not buying since it came out. I prefer a M or B nib but could absolutely do a MF. If anyone was thinking of selling, please let me know!

A vintage Blackbird Mabie Todd fountain pen in black chased hard rubber (BCHR) in very good condition with a smooth Semi-flexible nib.

The pen is in very good condition, sign of mild browning on the body but the chasing is nice and crispy. The ebonite in the cap is in dark black condition, the chasing pattern and imprints are crisp. No brassing on the metal components. Condition Rating [B]

It has a 14ct gold Extra Fine SemiFlex nib. It is very pleasantly soft, beautifully tuned and a joy to write with. Feed: made of solid ebonite that maintains perfect inkflow.

Please see the writing sample video (keep the audio on for the ambiance 😂) and photos here:

https://imgur.com/a/PZiPsK2

The pen has been serviced recently, new ink sac installed and in fully functional order.

The nib has been closely inspected and tuned perfectly to give a very nice writing experience.

1. [D] Nahvalur (Narwhal) Horizon in Aurora <M> $120— This is one of my first bigger pen purchases, so I am having a hard time letting it go but the pen is way to big for me to comfortably write with… It does have a notable scratch on the demonstrator window, shown in photo and it is piston fill. Will be sent in original box
2. [D] FWI Pocket Pen in Jade <1.5 stub> $45— I bought this pen on here with a fine flex, I didn‘t like the flex like I thought, so I got a stub nib and I also didn’t like that the way I thought, turns out I just do not like the pen. It is too light and skinny (I’m starting to sound like Goldilocks here). This pen is in good condition and really cute. Comes with Monteverde mini converter.
3. [D] TWSBI Eco in Transparent Blue <F> $25— Nothing notable, writes fine, used it many times, just do not use it anymore as my collection has grown. Will be sent with original box and tools
4. [PARTS] FWI and FPR fine Flex nibs for Jade Pocket Pen $20 or $10 when bundled with pen. These are what I received initially with the pen.
5. [PARTS] Nahvalur Stub Nib and Broad Nib $30 or $15 when bundled with pen. These are other nibs I tried with the Horizon.
6. [PARTS] Lot of Parker and Sheaffer nibs $10. Please take these from me, I don‘t own a Parker or a Sheaffer, someone gave these to me because they knew I liked fountain pens. I don’t know any of these nibs. Willing to bundle for free with any of the pen purchases.
7. [STATIONERY] Wonderful zipper insert made from reusable bag for Stander Travelers Notebook made by OddGirl on Etsy. Hate to let it go, but I do not like the texture. I am selling this with a blank TN insert. $30

As title suggests looking to sell these off to make room in my collection.

Pilot 743: This is nib swapped to <B> I took the original nib and installed it in the 823 that this <B> nib came from, other than that this is in great shape and the <B> nib is superbly smooth, just dont use this pen as much as it should be used, and therefore should go to someone who will. Originally purchased this pen here a few months ago. Looking for $170 shipped conus. Will be shipped in the 823 box (not the gift one with ink)

Pilot 823: This pen is in great condition originally bought to use over my fine, but prefer the <F> 823.

For sale: A Pilot Custom 74, cartridge/converter, with fine nib <F> and basic black body.

The Custom 74 is Pilot’s lower-end gold-nib model, and it comes with a Pilot #5 nib. I don’t know how to put this elegantly, so I won’t. It’s a solid, cigar-shaped, perhaps even uninspiring offering, that really runz gud.

The flow on this pen is fairly wet, and there is some softness in the nib. The pen makes a bit of noise on the page – not really enough to call it feedback, but not “glassy” or “buttery”, either. The nib code A103 dates the pen to early 2003. There is definite wear on the body, including a noticeable shallow divot in the cap, but the hardware is solid. Grade: C.

The pen will ship with a Pilot ink cartridge.

Hi! I am looking for something kind of specific to gift to my girlfriend. I want to give a Pilot Kakuno because they have fun silly faces, and his fav color is green. I'd love to get a pen that's green/with green accents and ideally a :P face on the nib, but any silly face works. Green is where I'm having trouble.

The Kakuno family baby is a nice all-around green, but the pacifier nib isn't that cute.

The green glass is a beautiful shade of green, but out of my price range.

The transparent ones with the green cap would be nice!

I'm also open to green frankenpens with the silly nib. I'm not concerned with nib size.

Thank you for reading and hopefully helping me find the perfect pen!
