I am Jon Rosenbaum in Irvine, California and have been collecting, restoring, and selling vintage fountain pens for over fifteen years.  I occasionally sell on ebay under my id, jonlr, and have well over 800 positive feedbacks with no negatives.  I also attend the major pen shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Columbus, and Washington DC.  At Jon's Vintage Pens you will find a nice selection of wonderful fully restored vintage  and contemporary writing instruments.

 

Unless otherwise stated, all pens have been restored and ready to enjoy.  Our restorations include a thorough cleaning, replacement of the sac, resetting the nib and adjusting flow (as necessary), removal of residual ink in the cap and from the barrel threads, and a gentle polish to bring the pen's appearance as close as possible to the day it left the factory. 

 

All our items are guaranteed to be as described.  If you are not happy with your pen, I gladly accept returns.  Just send the pen back to me within seven days of receipt in the same condition as received, and I will refund your purchase price and shipping cost.  If you have questions about a pen or would like me to put a pen aside for you, please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  I will get back to you regarding shipping and insurance costs costs to your location. Domestic USA 1st Class postage will be $4.00 and insurance, if desired, will depend upon value.  Foreign buyers will pay shipping at cost.   I use heavy corrugated cardboard boxes with peanuts and bubble wrap to protect the pen from rough handling.  I accept personal checks, money orders, and Paypal.  International buyers may submit payment via Western Union, a bank check from a U.S. bank in dollars, as well as Paypal.

 

Thanks for looking at my pens, you might just find something you can't live without.

 

November 26, 2009: We've just added over 30 new vintage and a few contemporary pens that are quite nice.  Included in the contemporary pens are some very nice brand new in warranty Bexley fountain pens at terrific prices.  Bexley is the sole American manufacturer left, and they deserve our support.  There are some really unusual and hard to find pieces, including a wonderful Waterman 552 solid gold hand-engraved vine pattern.  Also take a look at the Vacumatic Blue Max, the ultimate hard to find Maxima.  There's also a Parker 51 Nassau, and a wonderful Parker 51 Buckskin set.  You'll also find some great Black Hard Rubber pieces, including a Moore and an early large Sheaffer.  Finally don't miss the Waterman Blue Ripple.  There are many many more in all price ranges.
