What We Buy
We buy vintage and collectible fountain pen collections from all major manufacturers — individual pens and complete collections alike.
Also Buying
Along with fountain pens, we purchase these related writing instrument items as part of larger collections.
Who We Work With
Inherited a pen collection and not sure what it's worth? Vintage fountain pens can be surprisingly valuable. Send us photos and we'll identify the makers and models.
Whether you've collected for years or are thinning a large collection, we buy entire pen collections so you don't have to sell individually on forums or eBay.
Accumulated fine writing instruments over your career? We make it easy to convert them to cash with a single transaction.
Prefer one clean transaction over multiple show sales? We buy entire collections and can move quickly when timing matters.
What Sellers Say
"My father passed and left hundreds of model trains. Jon identified everything, gave us a fair price, and handled it all in one visit. Exactly what we needed."
"Jon was fair, knowledgeable, and made the whole process painless. Showed up when he said he would and paid cash on the spot."
"Sent photos on Monday, had an offer by Wednesday, and Jon picked everything up that weekend. No hassle at all."

Common Questions
Many are — especially from premium manufacturers like Montblanc, Parker, and Sheaffer. Factors include brand, model, nib material (gold nibs add significant value), condition, rarity, and original packaging. Some rare vintage pens sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Yes. Non-functioning vintage pens can still have significant value for collectors who restore them. Dried-out filling systems, cracked barrels, and worn nibs are common with vintage pens and don't necessarily eliminate value.
Send us photos and we'll do the research. Look for brand names on clips or barrels — Parker, Sheaffer, Waterman, and Montblanc are the most common valuable brands. Gold nibs (marked 14K or 18K) add significant value.
We buy both. Modern limited editions and premium pens from Montblanc, Visconti, Pelikan, Sailor, and Pilot all have resale value. Entry-level modern pens under $50 retail generally aren't worth selling individually.
We don't provide formal appraisals. What we offer is a free, no-obligation buy quote — we'll review your collection and tell you what we can offer for it.
Most sellers have a cash offer within 1–3 business days of sending photos. Once you accept, pickup is typically within a few days. From first contact to cash in hand usually takes less than a week.
