1905 Carey #2 Cone Cap eyedropper-fill in RHR with alternating Pearl and Abalone slab barrel. GFT. Signed “Carey VV” (Von Valkenberg) clip. Fine, extra-flexible nib. Date approximate – the company appeared around 1900. It is believed that almost all Carey sales were in NY, Philly and Boston where their offices were located, making their pens hard to find. This is an outstanding example! Rubber a little darker under the cap. Near mint.
1905 Mabie Todd #2 size Straight-holder eyedropper-fill in Sterling Silver”Hand Hammered & Snail” overlay. Very early model, still with the “Bard” name on the pen. Near mint in original hinged leather velvet lined box, with compartment for instructions and (2) eyedroppers. Fine, flexible nib.
1908 Moore #15 (2 size) Safety eyedropper-fill in Chased Filigree overlay on Black Chased Hard Rubber. Early, short capped model. Beautiful, ornate chasing. Indicia with two fancy initials. Medium, extra-flexible nib. A few scratches to the black posting knob, otherwise near mint.
1906 Parker 46 eyedropper-fill with corrugated Pearl Slab barrel and Gold-filled Repousse Taper Cap. One of the most beautiful, and sought after, Parker models. As far as I know, the only Parker model with a covered taper cap. “Lazy S””fine, flexible nib. A few very minor surface scratches (from being around for over 100 years), otherwise near mint.
1910 Parker 33 eyedropper-fill Cone Cap in BHR. Gold-filled “Chased Filigree” barrel and crown overlay. Rare and beautiful. Medium, extra-flexible nib. Indicia engraved “AME.” Some cap imprint wear (not fully readable). Excellent.
1930 Parker Duofold Special BF in Black with outstanding 18K RG (gold-filled) octagonal overlay. The Duofold “Special” is the length of the Sr. with the girth of the Jr., made for users who found that the Sr. had too much girth for their comfort. Alternating pattern of “Diamonds” and “Fleur de Lis” formed within Barley engine-turning. Medium nib. Very likely one-of-a-kind. Near mint.
1950 Parker 51 Presidential Aerometric-fill Set in 18K Solid Gold “Fluted” pattern. Extremely rare! Medium nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box. Close-up photo in box.

1905 J.G Rider #2 size “Snake” jointless eyedropper-filler in Sterling Silver over BHR with green Emerald eyes. J.G was born in 1869. In 1900 he was a salesman, likely for L.E. Waterman. He patented the jointless eyedropper in 1903 and his famous clip in 1909. He founded his pen company in 1905. The J.G Rider snake, like the snake pens from other top manufacturers, is extremely rare. Fine, flexible nib (two 1mm stress cracks emanating from each side of the vent hole). A little oxidation to the hard rubber, and a few light scuffs to the clear barrel indicia, otherwise near mint.
1900 Waterman (4)22 Taper Cap eyedropper-fill in Fine Silver “Filigree” pattern (.999 silver). Extremely rare to find both a fine silver taper cap, and to find one where the cap is also covered – not just the barrel. Less than a handful are known. Medium, italic nib. Indicia initialed in Olde English script. A few very minor surface scratches (from being around for over 100 years), otherwise near mint.
1929 Pelikan First model Pelikan (before they named the Model 100) PIF in Jade with white specks. Barrel and section are one piece Bakelite. Bandless cap and cylindrical inner cap (parallel sides). Very rare. Nib with correct “heart” vent hole. Medium, flexible nib. Knurled turning knob. Near mint.
1931 Pelikan 100 PIF in Tortoise. GFT. One of the rarest models, even more so with the “4-vent hole” cap. Green celluloid barrel. Medium, extra-flexible nib. One cap lip crack, otherwise near mint.
1933 Pelikan 100 Emege PIF in Blue Pearl (very rare). GFT. Amber celluloid barrel. Double-broad, oblique nib. Near mint.

Fine, flexible nib. Green acrylic barrel. First year of the synthetic gasket material. A pinpoint ding here and there, otherwise near mint.
