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.

Underwood oversize fountain pen that was made in the USA in the 1930s. It was made with celluloid that was probably leftover from Sheaffer. The Wasp pens used this color.  It is a lever fill  pen and it has been serviced and it is a good writer.

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.
