Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description. A good restoration lot for collectors of vintage German and European fountain pens. All pens are sold unrestored and as found. They have not been professionally serviced. Expect age-related wear, scratches, oxidation/discolouration of the metal fittings and signs of use. Filling sacs, pistons or internal seals may require replacement. Please study the detailed photographs carefully, particularly the nibs and filling mechanisms. A good lot for a fountain-pen collector, restorer or enthusiast, combining several recognised vintage European manufacturers in one collection. The vintage glass ink pot shown in the photographs is included in the lot. Dating Approximately 1930s–1950s Origin Predominantly Germany / Europe. The precise manufacturer of the Tommy pen is not stated on the pen itself; examples of this type are documented from the 1930s. Materials Celluloid / early plastics, metal fittings, gold nibs and glass. Condition Used / restoration condition. None of the five pens should be considered fully functional fountain pens in their present condition. Specific defects are described above and visible in the photographs.
