Nice pen at my favorite store

[Drmad7]

Got lucky at the GW after work and grabbed 3 Cutco utensils for 99 cents each and then searched a cart of stuff and got a decent looking fountain pen. I grabbed it because it was unique and had a 14K nib. Upon checking out, a guy in line behind me mentioned that he looked at the pen and thought pieces were missing. I then showed him how to push out the nib and he was shocked and showed his friend. His friend told me how lucky I was to get the pen and his buddy was sad that he thought it was broken and left it behind. From what I can tell, it’s a Pilot Namiki Octadecagon Vanishing Point pen. I paid 99 cents and they sell for over $100 on eBay. WhooHoo!

Yeah those gw's don't seem to be on to the old pens yet, like they are on gold, silver and vintage watches. I've picked up a couple of old pens at the big box stores so far. I still have a Parker 51 with the box I got for less than 5 bucks I think it was. I still haven't found any Cutco Cutlery yet, but because of this forum I know now to look for them.

I find Cutco once every 2 or 3 months at garage sales or Estate sales. Typically, I save up a bunch, and send them in to be refurbished or replaced.

Sold for $250! WhooHoo!
