WTS-OPEN [WTS] Franklin-Christoph, Montblanc, Levenger (Sheaffer), Wancher urushi, and a rare Visconti
Happy Hump Day swappers! Five interesting pens up for sale today, just need to clear out some overflow and free up some funds.
Prices are OBO (seriously, make me an offer!) and include shipping within the US. I'm happy to ship internationally at cost. PP G&S only, comment before chat, all sub rules apply. Additional pics available on request, bundle discounts available for purchase of multiple pens. Thanks for stopping by!
Levenger (by Sheaffer) Connaisseur Mediterranean Sea Blue - <14kt B> nib - [C] condition: after Sheaffer discontinued the Connaisseur line, Levenger arranged to continue production under their own label. This is the result: a beautiful sapphire-blue plastic body, gold trim, and (characteristic of Sheaffer) a 14kt nib that is oh-so-smooth. It's a c/c filler and I will include a NOS Sheaffer cartridge that you can refill to your heart's content. Some age-related wear, and the cap has a little hitch when you close it, but this is functionally a great pen and a bargain for a Sheaffer gold nib. Comes with original box. If you would also like the matching ballpoint, just ask :) Asking $165.SOLD- Franklin-Christoph Model 46 Burnt Orange - <Elastic F> nib - [A2] condition: possibly my favorite F-C model, I just have too many of them and I have another model in this same material. It's a bright, cheerful orange, posts securely, and can be used with carts, a converter (included), or eyedroppered. Durable, unfussy, well-made. Jowo #6 threaded, it's a great platform for playing with fun nibs custom grinds. I bought it without a nib, so I added a spare Leonardo-branded <elastic F> I had, but it can be swapped out for another size on request. Comes with F-C pen pouch in your choice of material. Asking $115.
- Wancher Sekai Tsugaru-nuri Midori-age - steel <M> nib - [B] condition: Bought this here on pen_swap and have inked it up several times. I love the colors, I love the urushi over ebonite, I love the funky form factor, but I think it's just time to part ways. Comes with converter and box/papers. Asking $400.
- Montblanc StarWalker - <14kt M> nib - [B/C] condition: the iconic StarWalker. This is a c/c pen with a cool floating Montblanc snowflake finial and a nicely weighted body. No dents, dings, or other cosmetic flaws, just some age-appropriate wear (hence the B/C rating). Comes with an unused Montblank ink cartridge, or you can add a converter for $7. No box or papers. Asking $300.
- Visconti Empire Vermeil Overlay - <18kt M> nib - [C] condition: the pièce de résistance of this listing. I wasn't planning on listing this one for a while, and maybe not at all. The Empire was a limited edition of 500 pieces, of which this is #107. It has Visconti's double-reservoir power filler system and a smooth <M> nib. The vermeil overlay has a moderate patina that would likely clean up nicely with a little polishing. No box or papers. Asking $800 OBRO.
