Greetings, Offered for sale a quite scarce Parker Falcon Ballpoint in Matte Black. Best reasonable offer.

I feel like as if I've lost my own father. Was one in a million, a wonderful man. He got me interested in repairing my own pens, I have a handful of his marvelous tools. Last time he sent me a letter he included a detailed drawing on how to fix a Nozac. I thank all people that contributed in the...

MAKE MONEY!!! MAKE THOUSANDS!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: I don't care about the useless pre-fabricated crap this message usually says. All I say is, it works. Continue pre-fab crap. WELL GUESS WHAT!!! Within seven days, I started getting money in the mail!! I

although the 51 is definitely a unique pen, it pales almost to insignificance in my eyes to a parker 45 with a 14K nib for extended periods of writing, for which i use it. My grandmother gave it to me, telling me that she used it as her metric pen. i have been using it for years as well and i cant...

Hello all, Can anyone tell me if a Conklin Crescent has a Pressure or J bar or if the crescent with its bar sits directly on the ink sac sort of floating freely. Yes I have da book but I don't see it.. I miss you Frank. Please reply to group. R

does anyone know any alternative name for the above dye that used to be used in iron gall inks ? also potential supplier ?

Are these pens worth bothering with? I've seen only one -- a nice-looking FP -- but I understand they have a life-time warranty. Thanks, Bart

Are there any FP's currently in production that feature both a slip-cap and are piston-filled, other than the Lamy 2000? Ron Pasciuti

Some input from a chem e: n-butanol is an excellent solvent for ink, if you can get ahold of some it would be much better for dissolving the crusty clogs in the jet nozzles. A little slow to dry, and somewhat smelly, too. Also, if you use water to formulate or clean, use distilled, many tap waters...

I recently picked up a S Morgan pencil holder which takes a regular pencil with a screw thread. Anybody got an idea on how I can put such a thread on a regular pencil? is there a specific tool out there?

Got in the latest Fahrney's catalog today and was looking at the Conklin Cushion-Point - I want to treat myself to a new pen, and this one (around $60) is in my price range. Do any of y'all have one of these? Any opinions on them, or on the Mark Twain Signature pens? Thanks! Sally "Dignity....

Again, thanks for the help regarding my Parker 51. Amazingly, my local Staples had some black Quink. My 51 is coming from England - so I assume it was produced for that market. The only identifier - it has a gold cap and is stamped "Parker" on the fine nib. Can you tell me anything more...

Thanks to all for direction regarding the purchase of a 51 - it's on it's way. What ink to buy? Where to buy? I had read somewhere that 51's used a special ink - quick drying? Thanks! PK
