After having had the opportunity of writing with the mint it for a couple weeks (doing a bit of drawing as well), I'd like to thank you again very much for the stunning Parker Duofold Big Red you sold me. It's a most outstanding pen, maybe the more characteristic and charismatic that exists, and I'm very happy to own one in mint (brand new, actually!) condition. I appreciate your kind help to find one and fine-tuning it, a jaw-dropping period piece that I cherished much more than any of my other fountain pens. Have a nice afternoon! Regards to Myrna. All the best. XD 2/12

The Waterman Rhapsody ball pen arrived today safe and sound, and is working as it should! It's a beautiful pen, and I have to thank you for the refill too! Until next order, take care and keep tracking down those moderate price pens when you can! HM 2/12

Gary, I seem to have forgotten my manners...I realized I did not let you know my mint blue PFM V arrived safely last Friday, and I am quite happy with it. DB 1/12

I received the burgundy Parker 51 and it looks like it was never used! It is absolutely beautiful and a nice addition to the my collection. It is always a pleasure doing business with you. All the best, NL 1/12

The 1942 Pelikan 100 is beautiful. Many thanks, JB 12/11

The 1946 Soennecken 116 arrived, I couldn't be happier, a pen older than my dad and it looks like just out of the store!!! Thank you very much. All the best, JP 12/11

The Reynolds International Ball Pen and Azure Blue Parker Vacumatic Major are already here. They are fantastic, as ever! Thanks very much. JP 12/11

I hope this finds you well! The Pelikan 400NN arrived to day.....WOW! What a strikingly beautiful pen! A smooth writer as well. Thanks as well, for the great customer service! DS 12/11

I received the pens today WOW!!!!!!!!!!…I never imagined the Waterman #20 to be that big…I had never seen one and the books do it no justice…It will be one of the cornerstones of my collection, I love it, the 1906 Waterman #2 extra-long, tapered office pen is fantastic also. I thank you for being so kind as to have held it for me. I'll write soon. Sincerely, DB 21/11

I just received the Lamy and the Conway Stewart set, both are great! Thanks a lot for your help and service. Sincerely. ER 12/11

The Green Laminated Vacumatic Major has arrived -- as usual great pen and easy transaction. Many thanks. RM 12/11

I received the baby EHCO set. Thank you very much. And I was surprised what a small pen this is! The smallest pen which I have is 8.5cm long, but the EHCO set established the new record in my collection! Also, it's cool, made of a sterling silver. Very best regards, TR 11/11

Just to let you know, the Bexley PCA pen arrived and is even prettier than I had thought it would be. Many thanks as always, all the best, and Happy Thanksgiving. DC 11/11

Christmas comes early! I received the Waterman Citation Taperite Set, the Wahl Eversharp Skyline and the red Parker Vacumatic! They are all beautiful and look forward to writing with them. As always, it is a pleasure doing business and this is a great Catalog. Happy Thanksgiving! NL 11/11

The octagonal Mont Blanc Safety arrived today. It really is in spectacular condition! Surprised to see the Simplo nib is the work of Collins in New York (also made early Sheaffers nibs). I would guess it's more WWI era than 1920's, It's a wonderful pen. Regards, BB 11/11.

I was off this weekend, and had time to really enjoy my latest acquisitions…the Waterman sterling silver "Oriental" and the Parker abaline and pearl sided #15… they are outstanding! Thank you very much. DB 11/11

Arrived back at home last week and made it up to mom's on Sunday to collect the pens she was holding for me there. There were numerous pens from yourself going back several months. Every one of them was an absolute delight to open and try. All of them matched your descripton and the only surprises about the condition was that they exceeded expectations. There was a large variety of nibs in the Pelikan pens but the two standouts for me were the smoothness of the CN nib and the output from the OB nib in the brown tortoise 400NN. The latter has changed my whole attitude towards broader nib profiles. It is stunning to write with. The only blemish was a misalignment in the tines on the nib of the green Pelikan 100N which was fairly straightforward to correct. Both of the 100N's are fabulous - very plain but classy and handsome pens. Please accept my gratitude for your great service and wonderful product. I look forward to more transactions in the not too distant future. Kindest regards, MM 11/11

I received the Sheaffer Crest yesterday, thank you for the quick shipment. It's a real beauty and I look forward to writing with it. Your happy customer! NL 11/11

Just a short note to let you know that that the Sheaffer cobra desk base arrived safe and sound today, and to say that it makes a great addition to my collection!

Best wishes and thanks heaps! MC 5/11

Thanks again for the shipment of the Mountblanc Proust and the Pelikan Cobra. I well received the very nice pens. The Proust with stub nib has probably been customized and it's absolutely perfect writing. A wonderful one. Waiting for your next catalogue in May. My very best regards, FH 4/11

The Soennecken with the triple-flexible nib arrived yesterday. It's a beautiful pen, and boy, can it write! The nib is terrific - like a 1940s Luxor pen I have, so smooth and flexible. Thank you so much for taking the time to tune it up and get it right. Best wishes, TK 3/11

I received the pens in the mail today and everything is just as it should be. I have to say that the Unic pen is very nice for the price, and in exceptionally good condition. I sort of wish I knew more about the history of it and the company though. The Mont Blanc 224 Demonstrator is also as just as I was hoping. Thank you, ES 3/11

I received the Pentel Excalibur today. What a great looking pen. Looks even better in person, with the subtle "marble" look to the barrel. I just ordered some new ink for it and I'm anxious to try it out. Hope you have a great holiday. Thanks again! DS 12/10

I received the 51 special and the 75 today, thank you. They are both beautiful pens.

Yesterday I went to pick up the Sheaffer Balance set at the local post office. Everything perfect as usual! Thanks... AT 10/10

My Faber Castell and Soennecken successfully cleared customs and I have been enjoying both of them for the last few days. Besides being beautiful pens, they are absolutely great writers. The Soennecken is a wonder, it is really a mint pen, perhaps my first one. I intend to use it, its great nib is such a pleasure to write with. JP 9/10

The sterling Yard-O-Led pencil arrived on schedule today in perfect condition. From what I have found on the web, this is the Diplomat model which has been in production since 1934. Although I have older pens and pencils, it is interesting to use a writing instrument which has been in continuous production without significant changes for 76 years. Thanks again, DL 9/10

The rare set Leboeuf Fountain Pen & Holly Water Sprinkler (asperges) Sethas arrived. Beautiful ! I am very pleased: again a great purchase on your site ! Thanks again, JB 9/10

Hello, I purchased the 14K Solid Gold Parker 61 Presidential from your Sept. 2010 Catalog. It arrived today safe & sound along with the pen trays. This near-mint pen is positively stunning. I can't wait to ink it! And I'm sorry that I didn't order some of your pen trays sooner. You'll be hearing back from me with future purchases, regards... VL 9/10

The Black & Pearl Sheaffer Balance arrived three or four days ago and it is wonderful, as usual. Thanks very much for another great item. The celluloid used by Sheaffer is much more beautiful than in photographs. A superb addition to my collection! All the best, JP 9/10

The Sheafer Sr. Flat-top in Deep Jade was received today in good order and unmolested by Customs. I haven't inked it yet, but it looks stunning! Many thanks, BG 9/01

Today I received the four pens (Leboeuf #8 Clergy; Conway Stewart 22 Floral; Omas Arco; Waterman 18K Croisillons). Absolutly perfect -- as usual. Congratulation for the quality of the pens. Looking always at your catalogues to prepare my next pen shopping list. My very best regards, FH 9/10

Just letting you that the Lapis Parker Duofold pencil arrived safe and sound today. You aptly described it when you said that "there are no condition issues". It is like new. And I got an additional pleasant surprise, the color of the lapis blue is almost a perfect match with my pen! The three items (pen, pencil and Carlton Ware chinoiserie base) make a real nice set. Thanks again for the pencil. All the best, PW 8/10.

I received the mint Moss Agate Patrician fountain pen last weekend. It is very nice. Thanks, JD 8/10.

I received the Sheaffer Feather Touch, thanks for the quick shipment. The pen is beautiful and the nib is smooth - the pen glides across the paper. It is a pleasure doing business with you, as always. All the best, NL 8/10

Thank you for the Cross stylograph which arrived safely this evening.  I am thrilled to be able to add it to my collection. With very best regards to you and Myrna.  JP 8/10

The MIB Tibaldi #8 Safety pen arrived and it's just great! Many thanks again. I look forward to doing more deals in the future with you. Best wishes, AS 6/10

A note to let you know I very much appreciate the green jade Secretary FP/P combo. Its condition is absolutely excellent and it makes a handsome addition to my collection of combos -- now at 31 in the larger sizes. I must say I am amazed at the number of fine pens and sets you offer, catalog after catalog. Of course, the really high value items are beyond my budget but it's always a treat to look at them and you are to be complimented for always offering more affordable items in each issue. I don't know how you do it but do keep up the good work. Thanks again and very best wishes to you. DN 6/10

Just wanted to let you know my Sheaffer Sr. Balance in Ebonized Pearl arrived safe and sound. The pen was in tip top shape and a real beauty. Thank you again. DU 6/10

I received the Imperial Set yesterday and once again I am very happy with my purchase. The set is beautiful! Thank you also for your prompt communication and shipment. Much appreciated. I hope you are enjoying the summer weather we are having in the northeast. All the best, NL 5/10

The pen came in this afternoon, and it is in nicer condition than I thought it might be. I can't wait to put 1940s Quink into it and try it out as a writer. I expect I'll buy a few more pens along the way, since I'm not a real collector but I just can't help myself! RC 5/10

The rare double-jeweled blue Senior Maxima Vacumatic arrived safe and sound - beautiful! Thanks, MA 5/10

The Conway Stewart 58, Waterman Citation Taperite and Papermate ballpen are in sensational condition. But I would rate the Citation as near mint +, what I think is very difficult to find in black pens. I have been very impressed by this Waterman, much more beautiful than photographs show. It has a hefty construction, a great balance and a very beautiful appearance. The nib is also delightful. A superb pen I think is really undervaluated. I am very happy with these new purchase, as always. Thanks very much for everthing. All the best, JA 4/10

Received the Aurora 98 today and like always I am happy with the pen. In the past few years I have become a real fan of the Aurora 88 and descendants and am always looking for variants. Again, thanks PB 4/10

Thank you very much for the green marble Sheaffer Lifetime Balance. The pen arrived in good shape yesterday. The nib is wonderful and writes like a true fine nib. My best regards to you and Myrna. LY 3/10

Thank you so very much for the Montblanc 234 1/2 ! It really is a wonderful pen. I may not use it for quite a long while, but it will be carried in my pocket for a long time, before being placed in the collection. Thank you also for the great phone talks. They really were fun and very informative for me. My very best to you and Myrna as always, RS 3/10 

Your pens arrived awhile back. Thank you very much. They are all exactly as you described them, and I am very pleased. The Big Red Parker is smooth as silk, which is rather unusual for a fine nib, at least in my experience. It far surpasses the other Parkers I own of similar vintage; a grand pen, and my first of that color. Again, many thanks. Cordially, MP 3/10

Just a short note to let you know that the Lapis Soennecken arrived safely. It is really a nice pen! I am using it right now for writing in my diary. Thanks very much. Regards, TH 3/10

Received the black MB 264 - great nib! Thanks. PB 3/10

Just wanted to say I got the pen today. It is everything that I had been looking for in a "user" Mabie Todd 48 Eternal (I never like inking new-old-stock pens - always kind of feel bad). It was great doing business with you, and I hope to do business with you again. Sincerely, NM 2/10

The little blue Onoto arrived. Very nice! Many thanks, GB 2/10

The Mabie Todd Swan is in beautiful condition and it's fine, flexible nib writes very nicely. An excellent acquisition for me! Thank you, DR 2/10

Just wanted to "drop a line" to thank you for the fine mint-with-price-sticker vest pocket Sheaffer. It's not the most expensive pen I've bought from you, nor the biggest, none-the-less, it's neat and sweet. So thanks my friend, and I will see you in Washington. Take care.... GD 2/10

I received the Morrison and the Sheaffer Lady Skripsert (with the pouch) today. As always, I am extremely pleased with these pens. They are both beautiful and nice additions to my collection. It is nice to have the box & instructions with the Morrison! By the way, thanks for the link to the Life magazine issue with the ad for the Sheaffer Lady Skripsert. This brought back memories of going thru my grandparents Life magazine when they had a subscription many, many years ago. Your happy customer, NL 2/10

I received the Parker rollerball and it is mint! A nice addition to my Parker collection. Thanks so much. NL 2/10

I received the Parker Challenger today, thank you. It is absolutely beautiful! The picture in the Catalog didn't do it justice. Thanks again and I look forward to your next Catalog 54. Regards NL 1/10

My Pelikan 400 arrived today. I am over the moon about it and the nib is perfect for me to customise a little so that I can get some line variation. With kind regards, RB 2/10

The Wahl Eversharp woodgrain "Gregg" shorthand pen arrived a couple of days ago. Thank you, Gary! Sweet pen. And I love those W-E manifold nibs! Best regards, JE 1/10

Hi and thank you very much. The MIB Lady Skripsert arrived fast and packed well. An exxemplary pen seller! I have passed on your details to other pen friends. Your website is certainly worth visiting. All the best, JW 1/10

I received the Vacumatic with extra-flexible nib today when my wife came to UK from Spain and brought the pen with her. The pen is excellent and thank you very much. Regards, YM 1/10

Just short note to tell you the MIB Soennecken 116 just arrved safely. I like the pen, especially its flexible, smooth nib. Thanks. I am looking forward the next issue of your Catalog. Best regards, TH 1/10

I just received the Sheaffer Tuchdown Tuckaway Set, and wanted to thank you for you great service and very nice pens. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New your, and I will buy more pens next year. All the best, VB 12/09

The rare Caws Safety has reached me safely -- I like it a lot! Thank you very much. AR 12/09

The MIB Aurora 88 arrived last week and was just as described (as always). I appreciate it. PB 12/09

The Sheaffer Red Veined Grey and the Marine Green Balances are here (they arrived last week). Both are extremely well conserved and very, very beautiful. Great exemplars!!! I was surprised by the two-tone 5-30 nib. Thanks very much (again and again) for these two new additions to my colection. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. JA 12/09

I received the smooth sterling silver Waterman 452 1/2 over Thanksgiving and it is not only beautiful, but writes equally beautifully with its flexible nib. Thank you! PP 12/09

I just wanted to say thank you for the two pens I recieved. They are both working out wonderfully. To my pleasant surprise, and for reasons I can’t quite explain, I am quite delighted with the Aikin Lambert. It is a a wonderful little pen (a bit like my Merlin 33, but more well-made) and the nib is fantastically smooth and responsive. A little gem. Do let me know if you come across future Aikin Lamberts; they are tough to find. And the Waterman Ink-Vue Silver Ray is also tremendous! The nib is superb – perhaps the best vintage nib I have. Hats off to (at least 1930s) Waterman, but also thanks to you. JR 11/09

I received the new-old-stock Parker 21 Set set and thank you again - it is beautiful.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving and take care. Regards NL 11/09

Yesterday I received the Waterman Patrician. It is as beautiful as I expected and I am particularly satisfied with the nib, that is very close to my ideal (could be a tad more flex, but is very smooth for an old pen). This was my most sought after pen, and one I was never sure I would necessarily get! Many thanks. Kind regards. LT 11/09

I received the green marble Montblanc 246 yesterday and I am very pleased with it. Beautiful pen and a very nice, flexible nib. This my first purchase from you, but I am sure there will be more in the future. Thank you for the accurate description, careful packaging, and quick shipment. EV 11/09

I received the Parker 51 set and it is beautiful! While I have bought vintage pens from other sources in the past - everything I have purchased from you appears to be brand new!

It's not only a beautiful pen - personally I think this is one of the most Art Deco pens ever made and I guess it'll be my pen of choice for a long time when it comes to actually writing with it, not least because the great, medium adjustable nib! I will take another look into the latest Catalogue to see what else I can find when it comes to Wahl-Eversharp pens. WO 3/09

The Waterman 54 Woodgrain is here (it didn't take long). It's a wonderful example, well conserved, and writes like a dream! I'd like to add that the Model 54 exhibits a nib much more consistent than I have found in the Model 52. JA 2/09

The Pelikan P1 set and the Montblanc Carrera arrived a few minutes ago. Those Pelikans are really excellent examples of funky '50s design. Very cool. Not as sleek as the Parker 51, but they bring a kind of Bauhaus approach to streamlining. And the Montblanc? Let's just say that it brings me back to my college years when that was the first Montblanc I bought. Thanks for sending them so quickly and for your usual terrific service. HB 2/09

Just a quick note to thank you for the Parker Double-ballpen Desk Set. I am more than pleased and, as usual, the item is as described and of great quality.

The Grieshaber and EK Success arrived today. I am very pleased with them. Thank you one more time! JD 5/07

My new Conway Stewart 58 Cracked Ice is such a lovely pen. The design is far different than I expected – owning an OMAS or two with their interesting celluloid, the CS almost appears to have been hand drawn or laid on/in the material that comprises the pen. It's very interesting. The lever fill is really very cool, and man, does it hold an incredible volume of ink! It is well balanced with or without the cap posted (I usually don’t post my caps), and is a tremendously smooth writer. Gary, I do not know how you do it, but you really, truly are the source for some of the most lovely vintage writing instruments that I have ever had the pleasure of purchasing... and, much more importantly, using. Thanks again and all the best, HS 4/07

The Aurora 88 arrived safely today and is every bit as nice as you described in your catalog - thank you - and those little plastic shipping tubes you use are neat - much classier than the usual hunk of PVC piping stuffed with paper towels I'm used to seeing. ...if this pen is a typical example of your stock you can be sure I'll be checking your catalogs regularly. JB 10/06 I have safely received my Soennecken 111 Lady. It’s really a beautiful example of this model! I’m very pleased with it. In Germany itself it’s very difficult to find this pen in such condition!

I am a tremendous fan of your store/catalogue. For a guy a long, long way from home in a hostile place [Baghdad], a vintage fountain pen (especially that amazing Waterman flex nib) is a welcome friend. I look forward to getting more goodies from you. Many thanks for your outstanding service! JB 10/06 Just to let you know that I've picked the Parker 51 Presidential from the Post Office this morning. It is in lovely condition -- thank you -- and has already joined my collection of classic Parkers. Very best! AH 9/06

Got the Pelikan right before leaving town last week, so didn't get a chance to ink it until yesterday. Let's just say it's up to your usual high standard! ;-) DC 9/06

The Waterman #7 Ripple "Red Band" arrived. Incredible. What a beautiful pen! Thanks. DK 9/06

Got the two Omas Lucens pens. They are both wonderful! With the Aurora 88, I got three nice looking and great writing pens. Thanks a bunch. Want to make sure that you have me renewed. Thanks. AG 9/06

The golden pearl Vacumatic Major arrived this weekend. Lovely pen, exactly as described! Thanks for the speedy shipment. BB 9/06

I just received the Montblanc 126 PL in Platinum -- it's a beauty! Many thanks. GK 9/06 I have just received pens (Montblanc 254; Montblanc 146 Solitaire). I like both pens very much. Thank you for your perfect packing. I'm looking forward to receiving the next issue. How do I subscribe!?! Thank you once again. AI 9/06

I received the Pelikan 100N "Cobra" pen today. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to dealing with you again. HT 9/06

Pens arrived yesterday (Sheaffer #33; Eversharp Skyline; Waterman #5 Red-banded Red Ripple) -- I am absolutely delighted with all three! Till next time, LE 8/06

I received the pen safely today (1917 Sheaffer Chased Filigree). Excellent service from yourself and USPS. To say that I was overjoyed, would be an understatement. !! Wow! this pen is fantastic and worth every penny. Many thanks indeed! SM 8/06

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that the beautiful pen arrived two days ago (Sheaffer Blue PFM II). Cheers, RF 8/06 The Parker red Vacumatic Slender Maxima arrived safe and sound! It's beautiful. The only problem is that my wife has declared that it writes really well for her..... Take care. MA 7/06

I received the Soenneckens today. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to deal with you again. HT 6/06

I just received this morning the Lady Patricia and Waterman glass cartridge pens. I am very glad, they are beautiful, thank you very much. I will come back on your website. CSA 6/06 The "ringed" Lady-Pelikan 100 arrived safe and sound yesterday. It's a beauty! I'm having some difficulty getting over a Pelikan without a clip - it looks so odd, but a lovely addition to the flock. I'm looking forward to Washington -- see you there. FP 6/06

This morning I received the gold-filled Parker 61 Stratus. Thank you very much for your collaboration and excellent service. Always has been a great pleasure to deal with you. VS 6/06

I have received the green Vacumatic Major without problems. Good and clean pen with excellent transparency. Perfect description and absolutely reasonable price. As usual, I'm very satisfied! JS 6/06

The Montblanc Model 53 red pencil arrived today. It's wonderful! Size, tactile sensation of the red hard rubber... thanks for your kind efficiency! VS 6/06 I received the two Soennecken 110s safely. Thank you. These pens are extremely beautiful and I wonder if this is typical for Soennecken (answer: yes). The size and external quality is extraordinary. Their super-flexible nibs are the stand for future comparison! CF 6/06

I received the green Vacumatic Major today. I'm very pleased that it works perfectly, is in superb condition, and is beautiful. Many Thanks! HS 5/06

The Parker 51 set with the 14K Empire Caps have just arrived -- VERY nice! DW 5/06

The 12" x 16" trays arrived safely. They are perfect. I've cut them to size, put them in my drawers and started filling them with pens. Thank you! BS 4/06 I received the '36 Vacumatic yesterday. It's beautiful!!!...and it looks nice sitting next to my standard burgundy Vac of the same vintage. Thanks again, DN 4/06

Good evening! The russet & jade Swan was waiting for me when I returned from work this afternoon. It is indeed a beautiful pen and a really sweet writer! Thanks for a prompt and very satisfactory transaction. RH 4/06

I have received the Buckskin double-jeweled Parker 51 this morning. It's a fantastic and very elegant pen. The advice you gave me has been very useful! As usual, very good service and a pleasure your friendly nature and help. Very best regards, JS 4/06 I never got the chance to properly thank you for the Mandarin Yellow Torelli "Parker 51." Fantastic pen - the attention to detail is unbelievably good. The nib you had fitted on the pen is another work of art - nice juicy BB. I have inked the pen of course, and enjoying it. KM 4/06

I have just taken possession of the mint Parker 51 Presidential 14K set and it is a real beauty! Thank you very much. AH 3/06

The Pelikan 100 is wonderful. I love it. The OBB nib writes great with excellent ink flow. I couldn't be happier with it. HL 3/06

I received the Sheaffer PFM IV today. It's simply beautiful! I've been wanting a IV in such great condition, and I'm really thrilled to now own one. Thank you for your incredible service, and I hope to do business again with you soon. Regards, RK 3/06

My order has arrived in good shape. The black Parker L2 1/2 writes wet and smooth -- I can't believe Parker made triple-flexible nibs like this! The lapis Parker Duofold Jr. has a very flexible as stated and writes beautifully. The green and black MB Monte Rosas are both smooth writers that do not disappoint for daily "ballpoint" work in the office. The Wahl Cream & Black GS truly has an incredible and special nib - one clear step above triple flex! This nib is the holy grail sought after by yours truly. CF 3/06

Thanks for the Tiffany ball pen and Norma & Autopoint pencils. Got them quick and they are great! VH 3/06

The Sheaffer's Lifetime Balance Senior pen arrived safe and sound today. BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, SUPERB, etc. In fact these words cannot describe such an incredible and incredibly well conserved and restored pen. I put it together with other pens you have provided me: it seems they were manufactured yesterday. Once again, a job very well done; I am very happy, as usual. Thanks to Myrna and you. JP 3/06 Just wanted to let you know that I'm very pleased with the Vacumatic I ordered last week. Having become rather jaded by the phrase "near mint," it's great to deal with someone who knows when that description applies. Best regards, SP 3/06

I received the Waterman Thorobred yesterday. It is very beautiful and in extremely good condition. Many thanks, MN 3/06

Pen just arrived (Conklin Nozac in Black & Gold "Brick"). It's jaw droppingly nice. ...Now I just need to find one in green. ;-) DC 12/05

This great Gray PFM set has been received today. As excellent as expected! Thank you so much. PT 11/05

Thanks for the beautiful Parker 51 and matching pencil set. They arrived in excellent condition and the pen writes wonderfully. It puts down a thin fine line that I need for filling out forms for work. As you had mentioned, the Liquid Lead pencil would have to be relegated to desk work since it doesn't retract, so it'll most likely be on display in the pen case anyway with a few other old pencils in my collection. Great doing business with you. RM 10/05

The plum 51 Aero set arrived today. Wonderful, early set that represents early aerometric production (raised band Lustraloy cap, long arrow clip, and aluminum filler unit) and in plum to boot! No doubt that 1948 was an interesting year for '51 collectors given the existence of vac-filler pens with either the blue diamond clip or the so-called transitional arrow clip and Aero filler models with the transitional arrow clips. Best Regards, RF 9/05

The Aurora 88 arrived last night. It is in great shape and writing well. Thanks! RT 9/05

The Parker T-1 has been received: really great pen! Many thanks. LK 9/05

Just to let you know that I received the Parker 51 Demi Coco. It's a beauty. I'm in love, I can't stop looking at it. Thank you. AS 9/05

(You are) "Like a Dealer From Another Planet!" The 1942 Parker 51 set and crystal Vacuum Filler arrived this morning: as usual, they are in exquisite condition. For me, your catalog and service are always the better warranty. Thank you very much, JS 8/05

The (all metal) Wahl set arrived today, and it is outstanding, as has been every pen I have gotten from you. Thanks! RW 8/05 The Montblanc 128PL Platinum is SPECTACULAR. I am sorry I couldn't come up with a better expression but the English language is limited. If I don't buy another pen this year, the pain I will go through will be worth every moment. Thank you! AH 8/05

I received the red and bronze Waterman 92V this morning. Wow! It's another beauty, even prettier than the photo. Can't wait to ink it up. Thanks for the great service. EM 8/05 I received my pens today (Parker 51s). They arrived safe are in great shape, better than described... Thanks, I will be ordering more in the near future. DW 8/05

The (vintage) Aurora 88 came this morning, thank you very much, a worthy addition to my collection! CP 8/05

As always, thank you. Over the past few years, you've become one of my main sources of German vintage pens--high quality pens, fair prices and great customer service. MV 8/05 Just a quick note to let you know that last week I received the 3 pens, they truly are gorgeous (Waterman 58 Woodgrain, Anonymous Woodgrain, Conklin Endura). Thank you very much and I look forward to your next catalogue. Kind regards, LT 7/05

Just a note to let you know that the (Sheaffer Phone) “Dialer” arrived safe and sound. I had to write to tell you how extremely pleased I am. The pen is stunningly beautiful – the taper meets the body of the pen so seamlessly that it almost seems like an integral part of an amazingly long barrel. Its condition is superb, and it will be a wonderful addition to my collection. I must also take a moment to thank you for the truly outstanding packing – the protective pen tube was a most welcome, and most thoughtful, touch. I hope we have the opportunity to do business again in the future. It’s rare to encounter such thorough professionalism nowadays; I value it highly. Very best regards, JH 7/05

The two Montblancs just arrived to Madrid this morning. Thank you very much for your excellent service and communication. Always a pleasure doing business with you. VC 6/05 The new-old-stock Parker Duofold arrived today. Beautiful! Thanks! Any advice on whether to use this pen, or simply keep it as a collector's item? Best, JB 6/05

The Pelikan 100 arrived safely. It is excellent in every way! Thanks very much. RM 6/05

The red ripple Waterman 51V is here and wow, is it ever gorgeous! I have always been one to use the pens I buy, but this one is so perfect, I may have to think about it for a while. Thanks, EM 6/05 Thanks for the quick delivery to the UK on the Ambassador and Diamond Medal pens, which arrived today. They're both lovely! Regards, CC 6/05

Just a short notice to let you know that I have received the Torelli "Parker 51" and the Parker Imperial pencil. They are both great and I am very satisfied with the deal. See you soon. Best regards - PL 6/05

The three Waterman #7's I just bought from you are wonderful! Thanks! MS 5/05 I am delighted to receive the immaculate PFM MkI pen and pencil set. They are a delight and, thanks to your packaging, have survived the transatlantic trip in immaculate condition. My thanks for your kind attentions. I will be watching your site! Best wishes, MW 5/05 Thank you for putting out such great catalogs! CB 5/05

I have the highest respectful regard for your many accomplishments, Gary. Impressive web site, impressive pens, impressive communication, and apparently the very best organized operation overall. Now to find some pens which have not been sold! Kind regards, GW 5/05

I received the Swan 2060 with the #6 stub nib. You set the standard for packing. The pen is in excellent condition. I have had some less than "positive" experiences on eBay and buying from people on pen bulletin boards. The terms mint/near mint are often used a little too liberally, but your near mint description of this pen is very justified. The nib has a nice line variation. It has a little more tooth than I expected but I'm enjoying it and getting better at using it. Overall, very (very) nice and a pleasure to write with. Thanks again!! JS 4/05

I am very happy to inform you that today I received the 1927 Black & Bronze Conklin Sr. Endura. The pen is absolutely fantastic and makes my collection really much richer. Thank you very much for the pen, for the way it was packed and for your cooperation. I am sure I'll purchase from you in the very near future other beautiful items like the one I got today. OM 4/05

EXCELLENT NEWS: my Gold Bond Stonite pen has arrived and is superb, like all the pens I have purchased from you!! Many thanks and I am waiting for the next issue...! Kind regards to you and Myrna JB 3/05

The Parker Vacuum Filler arrived today in perfect condition. As usual, very good service and a very good pen. I'm happy with the purchase as I had a feeling it would be mistake not to buy it. Also, always it's important to have a very special pen 73 years old. An authentic pleasure to do business with you! Very best regards, JS 3/05 The Pelikan 100N arrived safely. It is a very nice pen in great condition and a lovely nib. Thank you. Regards, WM 3/05

I received the pen safe and sound. You were right about quality, extremely high quality pen. But, sincerely, I do not agree about condition. You said near mint. That’s not true, Gary. After a carefully inspection, I found no signs of use anywhere. This pen has, no doubt, the best condition I’ve ever seen on a vintage pen. Nobody could say it is a 80 years old guy. So, honestly, I would say near mint + + + condition. Once again, thank you very much for the stuff you provide us and your efficient and kind service. Congratulations to you and Myrna. JP 3/05

I wanted to tell you that the Swan (from Catalog #34) took 100 pages of notes during a trial I just finished last Friday. I took extra ink to Court, but refills were few and far between. The words flowed and after a short period of time "getting to know you," the pen literally danced for me. Later when I summed up I used those notes. The shadings helped me spot important thoughts, but most importantly, the pen was like an old friend. To someone who has never learned to write in ink, and then never seen words dance with a flex point, they will not understand why men still want classic pens, with a lost elegance that was once America. Your friend, SB 3/05 The pens arrived a few days ago, and they are perfect as is your custom. Thanks again for being a reliable source of vintage pens. RW 3/05

I subscribed last year and bought some pens out of the December catalog. I never really left any feedback although I've been meaning to. Those pens were probably the nicest bunch I've ever purchased all in one 'sitting'. They were just as described if not better. All nibs were smooth, the finishes shiny, and the mechanisms in working order. It's refreshing to not have to worry about the unusual and unfortunate nib/feed/barrel/filling mechanism disorders that happen on eBay every day.....I looked over the 10% off catalog and saw some possibilities but will likely wait for the next quarterly to arrive... Thanks again, JWH 2/05 The pen Conklin Sr. Endura in Sapphire Blue and Conway Stewart "Speedy Phil" in Blue Herringbone arrived today in good order. I am pleased with both of them, they are beautiful. Regards and best wishes. RG 12/04

I received the green Sheaffer Balance safe and sound. I have no words to describe such a great pen and its GORGEOUS condition. Once again, thank you very much for making me (and my wife) so happy. I suppose obtaining examples better than those you provide me is getting more and more difficult, but finally you manage. JM 12/04

The Conway Stewart Set arrived this afternoon in near mint condition as advertised, and in good working order. Thank you. SP 12/04

The Conway Stewart Blue Herringbone arrived today. I unpacked it right away and inked it up. It is everything I expected or anticipated it would be. You were right, an excellent choice. I've been looking for Conway Stewart pens, especially in the Herringbone pattern and even more so in a blue, but until this most recent offering have not seen blue pattern available anywhere! I'm happy, very happy with this purchase. Thanks, BB 11/04

I received the Edward Todd Gold-filled overlay eyedropper pen, and am very satisfied with it. Thanks! VN 10/04

The Parker Vacumatic arrived fine, but about that Waterman #7 ripple that you said had brassing on it...well that's false advertising because I can't find ANY brassing on it that's worth noting! ;-) Wow! Great pens, fast service. Keep up the great work. JH 10/04

I am eager to see the next catalog and will continue to subscribe as long as you are in business -- it's the best pen investment around! DC 10/04

I received your beautiful (mint-in-the-box, blue) PFM V yesterday. Thank you very much!!! Regards, TT 10/04

The Montblanc 126 PL arrived this morning. Nice pen! AT 10/04

I must say, your shipment was a real treat. Every pen/pencil was nice. Now I see why you are so picky and rejected my offers. Customers can be assured of cream of crop stuff! CF 10/04

The Pelikan 100 and Waterman 94 arrived safely and are very, very nice. They're exactly what I had hoped for! I look forward to my future purchases. AG 9/04

The pen arrived and it's wonderful (Waterman 52 Red Ripple)! Thanks. EL 9/04

Thanks for the prompt service and the nice (Waterman 94 and Sheaffer Balance) pencils, much appreciated. HP 9/04

Have I mentioned that I see how much work you put into the catalogs, and that everything is first class!?! Thanks. MY 8/04

Just wanted to let you know the Parker Vacumatic Slender Maxima arrived yesterday and as usual it was a Winner! Very Happy. DU 8/04

The Osmia arrived today in perfect condition. It's a really nice pen. Thanks for another great pen deal. EG 0/04

The two Vacumatics arrived yesterday in perfect condition. Exceptional quality with a very reasonable price! Thanks and have a good weekend. Your catalogs have the best price/quality relation that I've seen, and I have experience with (many) different USA and UK dealers. JS 8/04

The (Targa) pencil arrived today -- speedy! -- and in perfect condition. Many thanks for the great service...LS 8/04.

Received the PFM demonstrator today. Looks Great!!!! Thanks so much for everything! DM 8/04

The slotted tray inserts arrived today in excellent condition and (cut to size) fit neatly in the drawers as intended. Perfect result and pen storage problem solved elegantly and economically - many thanks! RC 8/04 I received the (1952) MB 149 this morning, it is lovely! I also like the feeling of the nib, more like a fine oblique, semi-flexible. Thanks again, and please don't forget me when you come across a pen on my wish list. TA 8/04

I received the Pelikan 140 I ordered from you last week. It took me a few tries to become accustomed to the nib, but now it's become my favorite. I'm even enjoying writing checks to pay bills! I going to have to expand my vintage collection as soon as possible, maybe with a Pelikan 100. Thanks again with all the help, it's definitely a great pen. AB 7/04

I received the Sheaffer PFM II today. It is wonderful and much better than I expected! Thank you for the rapid shipment and I hope I can buy many more good pens from you (it is a pity that many pens I like in your Catalog have already sold) :-( PH 7/04

Just thought I'd let you know that I enjoy the pens I recently purchased from you (Sheaffer 3-25 Balance; Parker Duofold Vacumatic). They work great. I've had a blast just plain writing all sorts of common everyday "stuff". It seems somehow that writing is more pleasant than it was before. Thanks. MZ 7/04 The combo arrived safely this morning. What a suburb item, similar to a Conklin Symetric! I love it! You are a magic pen dealer! Thanks again. JB 7/04

I love the pens! The Waterman Overlay is in fantastic shape and the Parker Moderne is so nice, I actually had a pen collector ask me if it was a reproduction. I can't wait to see the first issue of my new subscription! LO 7/04

The Soennecken 222 I got from you is terrific -- I like it a lot! JP 7/04

Thank you for the Montblanc Safety -- it doesn't leave my desk and is getting a lot of use! I really enjoy the way your Catalog works and the variety of pens is just great. I eagerly await your next Catalog. DC 6/04

Pens arrived safely (Conway Stewart; Mabie Todd) and they are terrific. Many thanks and see you soon! CM 6/04

Gary, thanks for the beautiful Sheaffer PFM V I purchased from you. It's a wonderful pen! It was the first pen I’ve purchased from you, but it won’t be the last! DJ 6/04

The 3 pens from Catalog 31 arrived today in perfect condition. The blue Vacumatic Major is phenomenal and the two Soenneckens are also a treat. Thanks again for another great transaction. EG 6/04

The three beautiful pens (WASP, Skyline, Waterman #5 Red Ripple) arrived today in perfect shape. Many thanks for the quick delivery and these very satisfying writing instruments. With best wishes. ML 6/04

The Vacumatic Blue Major arrived today in perfect condition. It's incredible -- the pen is like new! Thanks again. JM 5/04 Today I received the 51 (Flighter). It really is great looking ! Many thanks for the excellent service!! LK 5/04

My two Pelikan pens arrived as promised. I'm very pleased and will recommend you to others. Thanks. PD 5/04.

The two Pelikan pencils arrived today in perfect condition. Nice packing and excellent service. Thank you very much. It was a pleasure doing business with you. CB 5/04 The pens arrived safely, as per usual, I am a happy young man. The two Duofolds are spectacular!!! Thank you. GS 4/04

I just got my fourth or fifth pen from Gary Lehrer at GoPens, a BCHR Parker 24. When it arrived, it turned out that the filler needed a tweak. Gary got the pen back to me in record time, and working perfectly. If you haven't dealt with Gary through his excellent on-line catalog, you should... DC 4/04 PS: plus when you buy from him, you get one of those cool plastic shipping tubes!

The pen and pencil arrived today (Parker Challenger Green Geometric Set) -- exactly what I wanted. Thanks. DK 4/04

Got the pen today (Mabie Todd Blackbird) and it is lovely... it writes and fill beautifully! Thank you for a smooth transaction. CC 3/04

I received today the beautiful Sheaffer (Sr. Balance) in Black & Pearl. What a superb color! Thanks for this new beauty! All the best. JB 3/04 The (Vacumatic Sr. Maxima) set arrived today. Thanks a lot, I like it a lot! How do I get a subscription for your next 4 Catalogs? JS 3/04

Thanks so much for the Conway Stewart Dinkie! I just love it -- great colors, a wonderful writer, and just so darn tiny! JS 3/04

I got the pen (Moore Eyedropper) on Wednesday and have been writing with it ever since. REALLY, LOVE it, so beautiful and expressive! Thanks a lot and take care. DW 3/04

It’s a smooth writer with an attractive style and an incredible filler, one of the best pens of my. I forgot to send you feedback when the Striped Duofold (previous catalog) came home. GORGEOUS! Superb condition and exquisite service at a great price, as usual. Thanks very much again! JA 3/04

The pens you've sent are JUST INCREDIBLE!!!! It's easy to be a faithful customer of Gary and Myrna! PS 3/04 You've done it again -- the pen is gorgeous and what a sweet nib! Your pictures did not capture how beautiful and rich looking the pen is. Thanks and regards. RP 3/04

I received the Diamond Point--it's a great pen--very classy looking and in mint shape. It writes very smoothly with just the right amount of flex. Thanks--I appreciate the quality of the pens you sell. RC 3/04

I am sending my $15 in order to become a subscriber. This last catalog convinced me - I got tired of seeing red where I wanted to see green. You continually have a great selection of vintage pens. Browsing your catalogs, I'm constantly reminded of why I started collecting. Thanks. AT 3/04

The Aurora 88 set arrived today. Great pens! Thanks very much. DL 3/04

I just got the (Waterman eyedropper) pens today, thanks very much. Both are lovely, just as pictured and described. The Model 22 Taper Cap is an especial plum for me... The two pens really boost my modest early Waterman collection... Thanks again and I hope to be plundering your catalogs again soon! DC 3/04

The pens arrived in fine condition. Very pleased as usual and many thanks. ML 3/04

I received the pen and it's a beautiful pen--it writes smoothly with flex. RB 12/03

Got the pen...totally awesome...it looks practically brand new. I have a new favorite pen! Thanks again. SG 12/03

This is just to let you know the three pens arrived in top condition...! The pens are all very nice to write with and I am a most satisfied customer. Cheers and season's greetings! ML 12/03

The Doric just arrived a few minutes ago... it is just beautiful...I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks again for your consideration and efforts. FW 11/03

The Soennecken and the Swan arrived today. To say the least, I am very happy with the quality. I have bought vintage pens in the past described as near mint that were far from it. In short, your high standards are greatly appreciated. These are outstanding pens, and the service provided was excellent as well. I look forward to your future lists. RW 11/03

Pen came this morning. I know your description said it was near mint or better, but I am almost convinced you made this pen in your basement because it is so new looking and the trim is so GORGEOUS. I am eager to give it a scribble, and am, as always when dealing with you, very pleased. DO 11/03

I have received the beautiful pen. I am very pleased for this efficient and dependable deal. Thanks very much. JB 11/03

Wahl Eversharp received. AMAZING! Thanks. KG 9/03

The Parker Parkette arrived today. Sometimes I wonder how can you find such incredible well conserved vintage pens! Thanks again for your efficiency. Best regards. JA 9/03

I should have sent you a thank you long ago. I ordered a Wahl pen with a fine-flexible nib - what a nice pen - received promptly and in good condition with a beautiful, lively writing line. A wonderful pen and wonderful service. I have recommended you to several friends. EB 9/03

I am now the proud owner of the pens you sent! Thanks a lot for recommending the smooth 14K Parker 51 Presidential Set -- it's incredible! GS 8/03

It’s easy to make nice selections from your Catalog, believe me. I always wonder how you find so much nice stuff that you can resell at reasonable prices. It reminds me of my early days in the hobby, around 1984, when every month the PFC Magazine came, and I wanted nearly everything in it. When he couldn’t seem to produce a catalog with anything worthwhile in it, everyone said that the proliferation of catalog sellers and the internet put him out of business... but somehow you seem to have found the secret – and I’m glad. I still like to hold a catalog in my hand and ponder, even if I get better photos on the web. (Often I print your color photos, and clip them to the catalog so that they’re there when I ponder…)... thanks again. HS 8/03

The slotter boxes arrived safely today. They will provide some temporary relief for my storage problems. Thanks so much. It has been a pleasure doing business with you, and I will be checking out your website in the future. MZ 7/03

I received the pens, and they are in FANTASTIC condition. Thanks once again. BS 7/03

Pens received. A M A Z I N G! Okay Gary, I'm a fan! When's the new list being published? KG 7/03

The Doric arrived in fine shape!!!! It is a pleasure to use as well as to gaze upon. If you find another, please let me know, as I can add one or two more to my "stable." Thanks again for getting just what I asked for!!!! I look forward to our next transaction. NS 6/03

The pens have arrived. They are, as always, absolutely fabulous! GF 6/03

Just wanted to let you know that we received the Carter's. It's a beauty! Thanks again for the great service! SS 6/03

I just received the Pelican pen I ordered. Beautiful pen! Thank you very much. I will keep an eye on your website for other pens. RB 6/03

The pens are terrific! I'll talk with you soon. JG 6/03

Just thought I would let you know that I received the package of pens you sent. What a wonderful package! The pens are super. The Chilton and Conklin are so clean and crisp. The Parker is a small compact pen that is fun to write with. And, the Montblanc 25 is really really nice. I'm sure I will enjoy them all. Thank you much! DO 6/03

The Diamond Point and Sheaffer pens arrived safely. Excellent pens in incredible mint condition for their 98 and 86 years respectively. What I like the best is the instructions and guarantee of the first one. Thanks again for a job well done. JA 6/03

I received the pen this evening and, if anything, you underplayed it! A true beauty, and writes like a dream! If you ever need a note for your brag book, let me know. I really appreciate your help. THANK YOU! I look forward to my new subscription and the September Catalog (#28). MB 6/03

I just signed for the package -- all I can say is... WOW! The Chilton Wingflow is beautiful. The pattern is gorgeous -- and you weren't kidding when you said "New-Old-Stock!" How in the world did you find it? And with a nib like that..... AR 6/03

I always hear great things (about gopens.com) on Zoss and would buy 20 pens from each catalog if I could afford it. AZ 6/03

Pens arrived. They are both gorgeous! Thank you very much. JB 6/03

The nice Pelikan M200 Green Demonstrator arrived today.. A-OKAY! It has been a pleasure doing business with you. Until next time ... Cheers, GC 6/03

The Soennecken arrived today. It is a wonderful pen. Thank you very much. DL 5/03

The Wahl BCHR Gold Seal pen and Waterman Green & Bronze set arrived late this afternoon. They are indeed gorgeous! Thanks so much. TM 5/03

I received the Skyline a few days ago. As was the Parker Moderne set [purchased previously], it’s simply WONDERFUL!!! Did you say near mint? My God, it looks as mint as my recently bought (modern) Waterman Carène! The condition of the pen is much better than you describe in your web site. And packing as well as speed of delivery is really excellent. Two purchases and you have became my favorite dealer, someone you can trust in! Thanks again. JO 4/03 

The pen arrived and it is so beautiful - much better than I expected - looks almost new! I can hardly wait to show it off at the Pen Club. I look forward to seeing you in August at the D.C. Super Pen Show. Thanks so much. DK 03/03

All orders have arrived intact -- 2 Wahl Oversize Personal Points, 2 Shadowave Vacumatics, 2 Conklin Nozacs and the Conway Stewart Cracked Ice. All were in beautiful condition! Your pens are so good that I have pretty much given up on eBay and other potential sources. I think that through your catalog and other personal orders you can pretty much blast my pen budget to smithereens! Thanks again for the fantastic pens! GF 03/03

Guess what the postman finally arrived with today [1930 Montblanc 30 Push-knob filler] - it is a Beauty!!! I had no idea a pen could make me feel so...so...great! The nib is truly amazing, and I filled it with Montblanc blue ink and we are bonded, together for life - I can't get over how a 70 year old pen can be so functional and so beautiful. Thanks again!!! You have five star ratings!! CC - 03/03

The Soennecken arrived just a short bit ago. I inked it and wow! Lambrou [Fountain Pens of the World] was right on target when he said they were probably the best German pens of their time. The pen is beautiful, and feels well made, balancing nicely in the hand. It writes like a dream--the flexible medium italic nib is unlike any other nib I've ever written with, very smooth with great line character. Thank you for another great pen. AO 03/03

The Parker Moderne pen and pencil arrived yesterday. WONDERFUL!!! I didn't expect such a nice set since I thought depression pens were not as well made as others. And condition is simply excellent, really nearly mint. Thank you very much! JP 03/03 

I received the Moss Agate Patrician this afternoon; it's even nicer than described in your catalog! A happy customer. CM 03/03

The Parker Lady Duofold in Cardinal "Red" arrived safe and sound. Thank you for packing it exceptionally well ("bullet-proof" comes to mind!) and for your excellent customer service. I am enjoying using the pen. It's hard to believe it is over 75 years old. I hope I look that good when I turn 75! MF 03/03

Your parcel arrived this morning -- I am delighted with the pen & pencil and with your service and speed of delivery. CC 03/03

Many thanks for another outstanding Catalog! RH 03/03

I received the Targa today. I was very impressed with the pen's condition and quality of its writing. I would like to get a subscription for your quarterly
catalog. SS 03/03

It's time to renew my subscription. In the case of your Catalog, it's a pleasure, not a chore. RW 03/03

Many thanks for selling me the Soennecken 1306. I love the way it writes, prize it like an heirloom and, twice now, have used it in my dreams. RW - 03/03
