I received a Parker 51 "Special" pen in 1962. I used it very infrequently at that time. Unfortunately it once to a nose dive to the floor and wrote very scratchy after that. I stored it since the early 1960's and came upon it recently. I would like to know if this pen is worth repairing so that I...

Hello, I am repairing a broken Pilot Custom pen, one with an inlaid nib. The feed broke off at the tip from being dropped. Please contact me if you have available a feed for this pen. Thank you. Allan Schwartz

Does anyone have an idea where I might find a refill for an Omas Ballpoint from the 50's? Its a 556S matching the fountain pen of the same style.

This is a large pen with beautiful chasing and a medium nib. It writes a wet medium width line on par with a Parker Duofold Centennial medium nib or a Japanese broad nib. With the original box and converter and registration. Never has been a user for me and I want something else. $235...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the great help on my parker L question... I have a new one for you... I want to ensure I'm not damaging my nib on my new pen, as well as ensure that my writing style is appropriate for an FP. What tips, pointers, help do you have for relative newbies to FP's who want...

Hi guys, Just bought a Parker FP, quite a cheap model, have no idea of which one it is... simple cylinder of stainless steel cap and body with a gold clip and gold-ish nib. Converter inside (simple sliding plunger). I got it for around $20. My guestion is: On the cap, there's an "L". I fear...

Pen is in very good condition, but just not to my liking. Will accept paypal debit, no credit cards, m.o. or check. $145 postage paid in US.

"A year ago, Summertime Blues hadn't hit the theaters, Brad. It's now $220 m illion dollars later. Not to mention your own Murdered Earth -- $85 million for perhaps the worst film in recent history. And that's before foreign, whe re no one will notice that there's no plot. I'd say you got your one...

I'm going to relist the Parker Snake as well as a few other pens. Gotta raise money for our new/adopted parrot's birdcage and possible vet bills (poor little plucked chick). Better to be a smidge forewarned. So, if there is any interest, please email. All prices include shipping (insured for...

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)? I've found the site http://andersonlefthandside.com.au/, but I'm not sure it's currently operational--...

I have two pierre cardin fountain pens, new in box. They are a mottled dark red with a yellow gold clip and point. The body is slender, about 1.2 cm diameter, has a pierre cardin signature. The cap is also straight until the end which sort of mushrooms out a bit but the top is flat. The point...

I'm attempting to repair a Cross Stylographic, circa 1890. The pen is in overall great condition except the needle is missing. Who knows, it could have been broken off sventy years ago. I've found that a Rapidograph 0.80 needle is too small, (the ink almost drips) and a 1.20 is too large. I'm...

I have a number of Parker Lucky curves that I've mistakenly displayed in a wooden felt lined pen box with the lid open. I believe that this has hastened them turning from black to olive green. Is there a way to restore the original black without decreasing the pen's value. I've looked at Da Book...

The lower portion of the cap of my Sheaffer Balance just separated from the top of the cap (between the two rings). Sheaffer does offer a lifetime guarantee, but it seems like a simple repair that I might do myself. Any recommendations about type of glue, etc. or would I be better off sending it...

My handwriting is awful. It's never going to be neat, but a lot of the problem is the _style_. At English schools of the '70s, I was taught a *******ised copperplate. It's an ugly hand, with a lot wrong with it. Now I think I need to learn something different. English copperplate is an arrogant...
