I found these and several more pens and retractable pencils in an old shed. I have been thinking of selling them for the gold nibs. I have not found them in my research. I would like to know more about them. I would appreciate any information. One is Tiffany and Co, Parker and Sheaffer. Help me out, are they worth collecting?

You can email to me if you wish.
-Thank you!
How do I send the photos to you to look at? All the pens look like they are in usable shape. Of course they have not been used in tje ten years since I found them.
You could send them as an attachment, or you could just post the other pictures on to here. How many pens are there?
I am new using this site. How do I find an email address to send the photos to? In addition to the pens I posted I have a Mont Blanc pen or pencil. I don't know which it is. I have another Parker pen marked France. I have an Eversharp demountable pencil which was silver plated. I have a green Sheaffer fountain pen which looks like bakelite. I also have a Wahl Eversharp pencil marked gold filled. It is engraved with initials. I will try to post the additional pictures on this site.
My email is: Gabrielgalicia32@yahoo.com
You can send the pictures to this email and i will do my best to give you information on them and possible prices to sell them for
AR8Jason, I apologize for taking so long to reply. I meant to reply to you a long time ago but I accidentally put your message in the wrong folder and lost it. I still have all the pens. I applied to go to the Antiques Road Show in Atlanta in August. I thought I might take them. I'd like to know what the Tiffany pen is worth. Did you mean it was sterling encased in gold? I intend to sell all of them sooner or later. You have many interesting things posted. I enjoyed looking at them.
Some pens go for thousands of dollars.Do your research first.Have someone you trust give you apprasal.You dont want to get 1oo dollars for a 1500 pen ? Just thought Id throw in my 2 cents have great day
