Hi. I recently bought a very nice, almost unused, Sheaffer set with a FP (looks like a balance with lever) very nice looking with a gold dot in the clip, a ballpoint and a pencil. It looks like it's from the 40s or 50s. I will be restoring the FP soon, but I wanted to see if I could find a...

I just received an old Waterman Ideal 452-1/2 lady's pen today that I bought on Ebay. It's a lovely pen and I've managed to clean it up but I can't find a way to open it. Any advice? I also realize I'm going to need to send it somewhere for repair as there is no ink sac. A local pen shop has...

At our last Long Island Pen Club meeting, I gave members a pen questionnaire. It was a refreshing change of pace. I thought they'd take it home and fill it out, but everyone insisted on filling it out right then and there. I think it was because it gave everyone an opportunity to use their pens....

Thank you all for your help and advice.

hi, Does anyone know - where I can buy left-handed Pelikanos in Melbourne; or - know of an Australian company from which I can order them (I'm hoping to save on international shipping charges)?

Hello All, I picked up an inexpensice fountain pen at an antique shop and I'd like to try to restore it. The nib is only plated, but it seems smooth. The make is a "Tower". It fills by sliding a plastic body/sleeve off of the filling mechanism (ala aerometric). Inside the body are two metal sleeves...

Hi, are the Metal filling unit and pliglass sac for the plain (non-Super)21 the same as the ones for the 51 Special?
