Meet our Writing Instruments and Fountain Pens expert
"A good fountain pen from the right maker holds its value remarkably well. It’s one of those categories where condition and completeness — box, papers, the original nib — make a real difference."
John Smith
Writing Instruments and Fountain Pens Specialist at WeBuyVintage
Vintage Fountain Pens
Check the nib for the maker's name — Parker, Waterman, Sheaffer, and Conway Stewart are all sought after.
Any condition, including cracked barrels or worn nibs.
Propelling Pencils
Silver or gold-cased pencils with hallmarks are worth more than base metal examples.
Any condition, including non-working mechanisms.
Desk Inkwell Sets
Cut glass, silver, or brass sets in good original condition are the most desirable.
Any condition, including chipped glass or tarnished metal.
