Topics I've Started

fixing a loose lever

05 February 2016 - 03:43 PM

I have a loose lever on a no-name, vintage, gold-filled pen body. I am using a make-shift pressure bar in it. Are there any things to try? When I write with the pen the lever is just dangling there. :(


Inkwell for an Investment Banker -- early advertising, promotional items

06 June 2015 - 11:39 PM

I found this old inkwell that proudly states "Consult Us in Regard to Your Investments." I wonder if this sort of item was given away to customers as a promotion, or was it for the employees? Would it have been considered a cheap item back then? It seems to be brass so it's nice by today's inkwell standards.

I just found this pen at a yard sale, is it a Parker Lucky Curve #24?  How does it open/fill? Anything else I should know? Thanks!
