Vintage pens – quality and guarantee

Ariel Kullock is an Argentinian innovator, artist, and customizer of fountain pens. Since the 1990s, he has been creating unique fountain pens—starting with modified Parker 45s, later moving on to Parker 51s using new barrels, section parts, custom caps, and fully reimagined Parker 51 “fantasy” pens. This is one of his early pieces. The pen comes with a 1-year warranty and can be tested upon pickup.

Yellow is a pretty rare color among antique pens. The Purse series is shorter than other Esterbrook pens and has a uniform color. The high-quality 9550 nib guarantees an excellent writing experience. The ink sac has a capacity of 2-3 ml. The filling mechanism is easy to use, the pen does not require any special care, and the nib can be easily unscrewed if it needs to be cleaned. You can try it out when you pick it up, and I offer a one-year warranty.

By the end of 1950, Eversharp had fallen into crisis, leading to its acquisition by Parker starting in 1957. The Eversharp name continued to appear on several Parker pens until 1968. One unique aspect of this particular pen is that it was manufactured by Penol in Denmark in 1964. Another unusual feature is its ink feed system, which uses two nylon threads. It is an extremely rare pen and operates with a Parker converter.

Montblanc manufactured its 281 ballpoint pen from the late 1960s until 1979 with the so-called "11th finger" mechanism, which means that when the pen is placed in a pocket, the pocket material passing under the clip pushes up the lever and snaps the refill back into place. The fittings are gold-plated. The pen comes with a refill with a small plastic accessory (see photo). You also get a new refill and a one-year warranty with the pen.
