I have a newly acquired Valiant piston-fill that need some work. The piston extends only about 1/4 inch from the barrel and has a nut which appears to require a spanner. I can't reach the nut to loosen it. There is a conical nib, then a black section, then a visualated section. The visualated...

Hi, Folks, Some of you know that, besides writing for Stylophiles and being its Pen History Editor, I handle the subscriber database. In that capacity, I've had to field many e-mails over the last few months from folks who wanted to start their subscriptions with the January, 2004 issue, Volume I,...

I bought a Rotring Skynn... but managed to lose the cap (well, acutally, I sat it on my desk for a moment, left the room, and my cat absconded with it). Does anyone know how to go about finding a new cap for a fountain pen. I know the pen is "cheap" -- but I love the way the thing writes! It's...

i haven't looked at pens for a while - could someone tell me if any new colours have came out since the pink/orange combination?

Do you love or hate the rOtring Core? At the beginning of this month, I finally broke down and ordered one, a conservative, non-orange, black & white fine fp. My first thought upon sliding it out of its box upon its arrival a few days later was, "You've GOT to be kidding!" Now, I'd seen pictures...

I don't see it posted here so I thought some of you might like to know that Anne Poe Lehr, proud descendent of Edgar Allan Poe and pen collector and dealer, died in her sleep on Saturday night. Most recently you may have seen her at the Boston pen show and the Philly show. She was in the process...

I'm hoping one of you ink specialists out there can help me with this one. I'm an archivist and presently working on a collection of letters, one of which, dating from 1882, was begun in black ink (oxidized into that dark brown so often seen in nineteenth-century documents) and completed in bright...

Does anyone know the finishes and ballpoint extending mechanisms of the Parker "Prose" and Parker "Lifestyle"? Thanks!

What brand of cleaner seems to work best to clean various plastic pens and pencils? I have seen all kinds of plastic cleaners advertised on the net but have no idea which one to buy. Thanks, Michael Little

Does any one here own one? What do you think of it? I am interested in one. How easy is it to change nibs? As easy as a Pelikan? Information gratefully received. Thanks. Jon

Hi All, Dates for the NYC show yet? Thanks, Pelikanyo Paul

Forget whether or not a pen skips or how long you can write with one. What is important is how well it stands up under twirling and twiddling and general waving about. I have a display stand that I use to hold the six pens at work. No matter how fast I react, each and every one of them gets picked...

I will be spending a week in Boston in late June. Have several times passed through town, but never got to stay in. So now is my non-business chance, using some airline and hotel credits. So, Her Orangeness told me that Scribes Delight has a booth in Faneuil Hall No, I won't pay a buck a sheet...

As can be seen on the following page, BIC is now claiming a trademark on the word Orange: http://tinyurl.com/2z2u7 I trust that Miss Satrap will be getting a license to use the word! :) john cline ii, noter of things

I did buy a Wing Flow Chilton pen from a fair of used things in Italy (20 Euro) The pen has the following number on the back top of the barrel: NN3 2004 Which is the meaning of the number?? Is it possible to id the pen exactly ?? The sac of the pen is gone.. Is it easy to substitute it and where...

During an interview last night with a former White House staff member during the Reagan Administration, he mentioned that Ronald always had a lot of pens on hand that he was fond of. Some of them were gifts from foreign dignitaries and friends from all over the world. I am curious, what kinds of...

And the black plastic part of the nib (feed?) which was flat against the nib on the old nib, and on every other fountain pen I can remember seeing, is at an angle to the back of the nib. Am I correct in thinking this isn't right and that I should go and play hell up with the pen shop (bearing in...
