I have a rollerball which I like - the white plastic cylindrical piece within the cap, which keeps the cap on tight when the pen is closed and when the cap is placed on the bottom end of the pen when it is in use, is now falling out. The inside of the cap is metal. I tried super glue but it held...

I happened to pick up a couple of old inks recently. I've no intention of collecting the things, I just needed something to store ink in! One is an 8-sided aqua glass marked "Hyde" & "London". So now I'm wondering why inks had sheared necks? It's an ugly thing, and must have had a certain...

Hi Yu'all, Does anyone know anything about Pilot fountain pens? Thanks! Dean

Fellow Collectors, The Raleigh News & Observer ran an article Monday on the Raleigh Pen Show, featuring Deb Kinney. You can see the article on-line at this link: http://newsobserver.com/features/story/3592885p-3194508c.html Cheers,

EXCELLENT CASH INCOME I started out with $6. Now, I am making thousands. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars...

Hi, I am searching for a wedding present for my best friend. My girlfriend and me have decided on a pair of fountain pens. It's the kind of present with the two essential requisites to be the perfect present, namely A something you don't need;and B, something unexpected. Yesterday I had a look in...

Does anyone know of any rollerball refills that will fit Pelikan rollerballs other than the Pelikan 338? Thanks, Rob

For a variety of reasons I'm selling some of my pens. All are good shape, I would call them "daily writers". They are not mint, or NOS and don't include boxes or papers. I offer a 3 day return policy (less shipping costs) if they are returned in the same condition as when shipped. Montblanc...

Drying the cap with a twisted paper towel, I used too much force and twisted one of the four finger-stock springs that holds the cap on. Its resting position is now nearly 3/16" from the inside surface of the cap. Needless to say, I now must be cautious about inserting the pen into the cap to avoid...

I am not a pen collector. I do like pens and make them on a lathe. I also do custom inlay work on them. Here are two links to some of my work. http://home.earthlink.net/~willeecue/7MORE.JPG http://home.earthlink.net/~willeecue/6PENS.JPG Now for the possably dumb question .... Is there any intrest...

Hello to all who have been so helpful in the past. I have a Pelikan Go! and a Borghini with converter. After a week or so of great, normal flow, all of a sudden they start getting wetter, and then flood to the point of a drip of ink coming out as I pull of the caps. Inks have been Private...

I have aquired a nice Parker Vacumatic pen but it is missing the cap. It is blue and seems to write just fine. I would like to carry this pen and use it. Does anyone here have a spare blue parker Vacumatic cap that would be willing to sell? William Lee

I have an Aurora Ipsilon Deluxe fountain pen. Unfortunately, the cap no longer fits tightly - I've got a coupled ink stained shirts to prove it. Is there a way to adjust the cap fit, short of sending the pen in for repairs? Thanks in Advance, Gary

Jade perfect color Aikin Lambert NO reserve near mint 2245655813, Sheaffer group of three Balances, including carmine (restorable projects) 2245645425, Sheaffer Vac Fil Triumph set with NO bids...

I just got a Rotring Core and filled it with the Schaeffer Skip Jet Black I use in my other Rotring, a 400 series, but upon writing I have found that it is considerably blacker than out of my 400. Both pens have medium nibs, so what would make the 400 write less black, is it because more air it...

Does anyone know where I can buy only the nibs for a Mont Blanc? Thanks, Mike

For those of you who have used this journal, what is your experience with bleed-through? Thanks. --Steve

So I got ya to look? It is true, we are giving away free pens at the Raleigh Pen Show; well not exactly giving them away, but actually raffling them off during the show. All you have to do to enter is sit down, test write with one of the models and then fill in a short survey of what you like or,...
