Lot of 3 vintage Japanese fountain pens, including two jumbo-size pens. All three are eyedropper fillers with a shut-off valve. Believed to be made in Japan, probably around the 1940s-1950s, but the exact date is unknown. Sold together as is, for collectors or restoration.

Each pen comes apart: the section with the nib unscrews from the barrel for filling, and the blind cap at the end controls the shut-off rod. Please see the photos of the pens taken apart.

1. Large jumbo pen, black, round body

- Clip engraved "NEW CLIP"

- Nib engraved "WARRANTED SPECIAL IRIDIUM PEN" (steel nib)

- Length: approx. 16 cm (6.3 in) capped

2. Jumbo pen, black, faceted body

- Ball clip, no brand marking found

- Nib engraved "WARRANTED 14K GOLDEN PEN". The nib is attracted to a magnet, so it is steel, not solid gold.

- Length: approx. 14.5 cm (5.7 in) capped

3. Slim pen, black

- Barrel imprinted "PARLEY" (maker unknown)

- Nib engraved "SPECIAL Believe Endless Pen" (gold-colored steel nib)
