Hi everyone!

So, there is this local flea market in Tustin, nothing big. I am in the process of preparing the soil in my garden for my winter garden and was at the nursery when I decided to take detour and check out the local flea market. Found a Sheaffer's Senior section with the nib.

Later this evening, after the garden had been planted (five types of lettuce, cucumbers, and sugar peas) I decided to give this nib a nice retip. Now it is sporting a 1.7mm BBB stub. See photos below.

Which explains why, by the time I got there...Noonish...all I could find was this little NoName and a housebroken, cast iron gekko.

That little NoName actually looks like a really cool little pen!

She is kinda pretty, with an IGP nail for a nib, and when the Dealer said, "Five bucks"...well, I can always use another kitchen pen.

Are you in the Tusitn/Orange County area?

Fullerton. And in the last six months or so, you saved a Wirt, two Edisons and a Diamond Point for me.
Here's the Wirt.
Hope to see you at Fred Krinke's next weekend.

Hi Dan!

Yes, I remember this repair, thank you for posting it here on the FPB. My wedding anniversary is that weekend so I gotta skip this weekend's fun at Fred Krinke's

The repair of this nib was quite a challenge if I remember correctly!
