Last month I finally fixed a pretty sweet little vac. I got this one for Christmas in 2011 but didn’t get around to fixing it before I had an unexpected issue a few days later. Well that issue began a pen hiatus that continued til a few weeks ago. At long last I pulled out my tools and got this little guy back on its nib. Today it was broken and the diaphragm was shot. I got the feed replaced last weekend and set it and the nib back into the pen. Today I received some new diaphragms. Filled it with some black quink and it has been writing wonderfully. So this is the last pen I received and the first pen to I’ve put back into service.
This is a pretty interesting pen that is a little out of the norm.
I picked up a Valentine candy strip lever filler off ebay today and it it described as being stamped 01 on the end of the barrel. I am assuming this is a size stamp, but I can't find any information on Valentine sizing, or much information at all on the brand. Anyone have any thoughts or information about these pens to share?
