Wahl Coral Celluloid

09 October 2014 - 04:28 PM

Does anyone know if the Wahl/Eversharp Coral color is stable or will it discolor with us. I have a pretty little ring top I'd like to use but I'm not familiar with the plastic, so I thought I'd check it  out with you guys.

Cleaning up a Yellow Green Verd Conklin Endura Ringtop

22 August 2014 - 03:28 PM

I am on the verge of buying the above referenced pen but it has some blue staining near the section. Obviously this is a problem, especially at the price being asked. My question is does anybody have experience with cleaning staining on Conklin plastics? I've had suggestions from buffing it out (too near the threads I fear) to using a diluted bleach solution. As this is only one of these I've seen in two years of collecting, I want it but don't want to screw it up. Any suggestions?


Does anyone know this pen company?

Recently my wife presented me with a  3 3/4" gold filled pen with no identifying marks on the pen. T nib is marked 14kt.AL & Co. made in USA. DOes anyone have a clue about this manufacturer? Is it the name of a nib company or a pen company. Sorry no pictures.

Conklin Endura Ring Tops

24 June 2014 - 04:10 PM

HI All,

 

I have become captivated the bright beautiful of the Conklins during the Flattop Endura era. So Far I have a collection of ring tops in Black , Red (Orange), Sapphire, Bronze & Black, Rosewood, and Blue-Green Verde. All these are single cap band variants. I know there is a Yellow-Green Verde ( I have a pencil as an exemplar of the color, but would be interested in the pen if anyone has one they would like ro sell). My question is are there anyother colors out there that I' m missing? Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Greg


Parker Demi 51's

18 May 2014 - 06:30 PM

I'm posting this request on severaldifferent pen sites in hopes of getting some help. I apologize if you get this from multiple soures.

I am trying to build complete basic set of Parker Demi 51's. Pending a little haggling with David I. on a pen he has, I'll have all the pens covered. But I am a completist and I would like  to have all the accompanying pencils. I'm having trouble finding pencils and thought that even this is a fountain pen discussion group, I'd see if any of you are harboring some lonely Demi 51 pencils. I need Cedar Blue and Dove Gray with Lustralloy Caps.and Cocoa, Forest Green, Teal Blue, Midnight Blue and Burgundy with Gold Filled Caps. The Lustraloy pencils I need are all 1st generation pencils with twist action. The Gold Filled pencils are all second generation with injector action. Thanks for any help you can give me
