HOUSE-MANIA!!!
While in the process of clearing my wendyhouse (see my WENDYHOUSE-MANIA auctions) I have decided to also make space in some of the drawers in my house, it just gets too much over the years. There are countless nice fountain pens, ballpoint pens and pencils, mostly Montblanc (Meisterstück or Masterpiece, Mark Twain Writers Limited Edition etc), Pelikan (from the 20's or 30's), Cross and one or two more exotic ones that I will be listing. There are some really vintage ones that have been in the family for something like 80 years, older ones that were bought at some stage or that were gifts to my parents and then more recent ones. Some of the pens, vintage and more recent, are still brand new and in their original boxes. I have put a minimum starting price on all of them which is of course from my very subjective view. I really don't know much about pens, never cared much to be honest, although looking at them more closely now they are absolutely fascinating and I understand why people collect them or actually use the high quality ones, they just have a special feel about them, in fact I will keep two or three that I find absolutely stunning. I might be too low or in some cases too high with my starting prices, you can always make me an offer and I can sleep over it. Unfortunately my limited photographic abilities don't do these great pens justice, please ask for extra photos where required, I will do my best ;-)
Up for auction is this vintage 1975 original 14kt gold filled CROSS ballpoint pen and pencil set made in USA. This is in immaculate condition, it seems it has NEVER BEEN USED! The engraving on both is "CROSS, 1/20 14KT GOLD FILLED, MADE IN USA". Both have the very nice rose design. They are in perfect working condition, the pen has a blue refill. They come in their original Cross case that is in very clean condition for its age and it has the original Cross guarantee and operating instructions leaflet. There are two protective pouches for the pen and pencil plus a genuine leather pouch with the rose design. Very, very nice set! You will have to wait a long time and travel many a mile to find another set from this era in new condition!
My items come from a very clean household, they may be used but they will never be dirty, sticky, "tacky" or disgusting.
