5th Addition: Skyline, Meisterstuck No.12, and Duofold Jr

Eversharp Skyline and the Mont Blanc Meisterstuck #12
Parker Duofold Jr. 
All three pens are vintage. The Skyline dates back to the 40's, MB Meisterstuck the 60's, and the Duofold would be from the 30's. As different as they all are, there is something beautiful I find in each of them.  The challenge now will be deciding what pens I will take out of my drawer to make room, which pens would you remove? Let me know in the comments below.

As Parker was introducing the '51' and Sheaffer the 'snorkel', Eversharp decided to take a different approach to the fountain pen with the Skyline. Henry Dreyfuss is responsible for this unique design. As much as I appreciate the Skyline's design, the nibs are something to note. Some of these Skyline nibs offer a great amount of flexibility, that is exactly was what what I was looking to find.

The Meisterstuck No.12 (German for Masterpiece) is a great hooded design that features an amber coloured ink window that I just plain adore. To sweeten the pot, the pen has a springy italic nib that is as much of a pleasure to use as it is to look at.

Lastly, I had came across a Parker Duofold in the jade colour a little while ago and found it to be an excellent fountain pen. When I discovered that it came in a colour that I fancy, I was determined to find one for my collection.

I am adding 3 great vintage pens to my collection,  which 3 pens would you take out of the drawer to make space?
