This is a very uncommon Diamond Point pen. There is a little shrinkage of the barrel just below the barrel threads but it is acceptable.  I did see it listed in a catalogue, but I can't remember the exact year. It fills with 5 squeezes and it empties at the same rate. The transparent part of the barrel is celluloid.   Nice smooth writer.

Peerless fountain pen that was made in the USA in the 1930s. The color of the pen is a swirly cherry red and coral with black veins running through it like the cracked ice style patterns.  Peerless was never known for hi-grade pens and this pen has great color, but it is not a great quality pen. It is a nice smooth writer.   It is a lever fill  pen and it has been serviced.

This is a great example of a low priced pen that had great color.  Beautiful and unusual color. This pen was made from spiral wrapped celluloid tubes, but they rounded the edges to make it look a little streamlined. This was a last ditch effort to try and use old tubes to make pens to compete with the streamlined pens that came out in the late 20s.

Juco Independent fountain pen that was made in the USA between 1905 -1910.  Juco stood for J Ullrich & Co , which was a pen maker in NYC. They are most famous for stylographic pen and these nibbed pens are rare.  It is an eyedropper fill pen and it is near mint and unused.  No oxidation.

This is a near mint pen that never got inked. I would guess that Ullrich made 1 nibbed pen for every 100 stylographics he sold. This pen never had a clip, no holes.

Superite ladies ringtop fountain pen and pencil set that was made in the USA in the 1920s. It is near mint and comes in the original box. Superite pens were made by DeWitt LaFrance and basically became the Carter line of fountain pens. Check the close-up of the lever with the bar mounted beneath, compare it to a Carters lever.  It is 18K green gold filled with no wear.  The pen and pencil have a really nice even patina, so I did not polish it, it looks too good just the way it is. I don't think this set was ever really used, it had been filled a few times but it shows no signs of real use. The pen has been serviced and the pencil does work.

This is a nice hard rubber combo.  The names PenNpencil and Twinpoint both make you think that this was a prolific combo maker, but there pens just aren't that common. It makes me think that they were making parts or pens for other companies. The pen writes smooth. The thin band separating the pencil barrel and the pen barrel appears to be rippled hard rubber.  The pencil does work.

10 Year Pen thumb fill fountain pen that was made in the USA after 1905.  The pen is marked with George B Graff as manager of the company. I did a quick search and found that he owned the Graff pencil sharpener company and I guess he was trying to get into the fountain pen field with this pen.

Imprint Location: 
cap
Imprint Condition:   
weak in spots but it is readable
Filling System:
thumb Fill

This is a uncommon pen. Graff sold pencil sharpeners and decided to sell some pens also. I don't know if the "10 Year" markings meant it was guaranteed for 10 years, but it sounds like a good guess. There is no iridium on the nib, but it is a good smooth writer. The pen is oxidized and the chasing is worn. There was a slip on clip on the cap and as usual it has wreaked havoc with the cap leaving some dents and some spots that aren't oxidized where it was sitting. The pen fills properly but the floating pressure bar could conceivably come out of place since it has no anchoring to keep it there. The bottom half of the barrel will pull right off because he did not include any kind of stop to prevent it. Overall not a bad design, but it could have used a bit more improvement.
