Antique Mall finds
(Preview)
I know a lot of you are much like me in that you prowl the dusty rooms of antique malls. When I still lived in Jefferson City I had a regular shop route I would hit asking for pens on a regular basis. It's been a few months since I've been around. I live 45 minutes away now so regular stops aren't going to happen...

Recommend me a good vintage piston filler!
(Preview)
Hello guys, Well I want a piston filler, but I don't know which direction to go in. Can you recommend me some vintage pens that I could consider? Nothing too expensive. I saw the old Aurora 88s, but I'm not that keen on the styling of the pen. I've seen some nice vintagey MB piston fillers but I don't know if...

Back in 1995 or 96 I was the general manager of a smoke shop in The Florida Mall in Orlando Florida. Yep, prior to my career as a FP repair guy I was a Tobacconist for 8 years. Anyway, back then, the smoke shop was one of the only places in the mall where you could stop off and have a smoke. The general manager of...

The "Golden Wearever" - What is it?
(Preview)
I apologize in advance for not having posted a photo with this query. I came across a Tuckaway-sized Wearever. It's all metal; it looks like it might be solid brass. It has an aerometric-style filler, but uses a standard rubber sac. Can anyone tell me more about this pen? Thanks.

Parker 45 Barrel Question
(Preview)
Question for the Parker experts! With the P45's, were any of the barrel colors considered "rare"? Wanted to know if the dark barrel colors were harder to come by than the lighter colors (vice-versa). Thanks! Frank

Hi all, I will be taking a business trip in a passenger jet shortly and would like to know about taking fountain pens on planes. I have heard that if using a 'bladder' pen, for want of a better term, it needs to be completely full, or completely empty, due to change in air pressure forcing ink out in a messy e...

Is this pen a distant cousin somewhere in the Parker family?
(Preview)
I picked this up last week & it's got me wondering just what it is. The pen is made of aluminium or some other similar light weight white metal alloy. It's a button filler. The button is exactly like those found in Duofolds. It's got a threaded section, just like a Duofuld. I don't have any spare Duofo...

Soviet fountain pens...
(Preview)
In the past there have been a few topics on Soviet (Russian) fountain pens on Lion and Pen and on the FPN. Perhaps we can start a new discussion here, and maybe some interesting information will surface. Are there people around here who have first hand knowledge of Soviet pens?
