A number of years ago I read a post somewhere on a method to restore
names and ad copy that is on pens and pencils. It involved a material
that was used as a filler to fill in the stamping. At the time I had no
interest in the process.
Now that I do, I can't find the infoormation. I have looked and looked.
I think the material may be something found in an arts supply house.
Does anyone have any idea how this is done?...or any other way to
restore this lettering?
Thanks

That's something I've never done, but possibly something wax-based would
work -- work it in and wipe any excess off the surrounding surface.
Possibilities might be high-quality artist's crayons or scratch-filling
"pencils" for furniture. There's also a paste-form product in a tube,
incorporating carnauba wax, called "Rub 'n Buff". That may only come in
metallic colors like gold, I'm not sure.
