It has a horrible cap crack on the top, but I'm happy anyway. Now I have the brown and red, just need the green for my mini-collection. And a few oversized ones...
Do you recognise it?

I just snatched this off eBay for $31. I confess I was willing to pay more, but the dude before me retracted his $39.

I'd give you a very healthy profit, crack included

My only brown (an OS) and my only red OS (i have a standard too ) AND my spare OS Green burned in Lynn Sorgatz's barn fire in wisconsin.
Not joking that I'd buy your brown mesh pen. Currently I have a standard in red and an OS in green and thats it.

Thanks, I'll hang on to it until something better comes along. I'd consider trading it for an egg-shell though ;-)
Oh, I thought just machinery and no pens were harmed in the Sorgatz fire... sorry to hear that.
In the words of The Man: good hunting!

I heard that a bunch of repair pens got toasted as well as Most (all?) of Lynn's personal collection which (from what i'd heard) included a vast array of the known Oxblood Flamingo? Wahl/Eversharps.

Hi JIm,
A good chunk of the World's Largest Collection of these candy-stripe English Vacs died in the fire
Too, while I've not heard of Flamingo flambé, several very scarce Wahl flat-top OS "Deco Band" export-to-Denmark pens in Duofold Orange died as well
regards

do tell me if you can confirm seeing what i thought i saw, given the seller's blurry pic. should have a better shot for you in a week or so:
i think i just may have found one of these brown candy vacs, for not too much, but lacking a nib and section. could someone among you lucky enough to have one of these kindly upload a pic of the writing end, so i'll know what to look for when i restore the pen? what year or years of production are we talking about here? and how much have restored specimens gone for on the market? thanks!

Interesting, if a bit different Tony. Does it have a barrel imprint?

Have not seen reverse trim. The image though is limited. Do keep us informed.
