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

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

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. |

This is a great example of a small company getting a small amount of
leftover material that was exclusive to a large company. They could
have purchased the material from Sheaffer at the end of a run or from
the company who supplied to to Sheaffer. I don't think they ever made an
oversize Wasp in this color. Good writer, but not a great writer. |
