Barbara’s Attic

From time to time, things find their way into the attic that should really go to people who can use and enjoy them. Barbara has decided to spread the wealth, in a manner of speaking, and this page is filled with things that she’s brought down from the attic. Some are new, some are gently used. All have prices on them that should make them quite appealing.

Nib chest Book
Esterbrook nib sales display chest. Top has hinges on right side and opens to reveal about 30 separate compartments for nibs inside. Chest is in great shape, but nib chart on top does show a little use. Price: $35.00 (Add to shopping cart) Fountain Pens: United States and United Kingdom, by Andreas Lambrou. Unused, but the dust jacket has suffered some shop wear (visible in the photo). Price: $45.00 SOLD
Desk stand Pen wrap
Clear acrylic 12-pen desk stand. 10 standard size holes and two oversize (will accept Montblanc 149). This was one of two produced as an experiment to see if it was marketable. It was marketable, but it wasn’t affordable in acrylic. It was affordable in wood, and Foun­tain Pen Hospital has wooden ones priced at about $40.00. This acrylic one is a little used, but it will clean up very nicely. Price: $30.00 SOLD Pen House 12-pen wrap. Nicely padded to protect your pens. Strap is adjustable and closes with Velcro. New.
