At 83 I'm selling some of the hundreds of pens in my collection. All have been refurbished when I bought them, and are filled, not dipped (except where mint or other stated problems prevent it) written with and tested again when I put them up for sale. I am very careful to show every aspect of the pens, so nothing is left to the imagination. My descriptions and close up photos go the extra mile, so please examine them carefully.
Never, ever
put drafting ink such as India ink or Carters drawing ink in the pen. It will ruin the pen. Only fountain pen ink, of which there are
endless choices available. If you are bidding on a lever fill fountain pen, remember that to fully fill the sac, after immersing the nib and a little of the section in ink and returning the lever to its closed position, count to ten before withdrawing the pen from the ink, to give the sac enough time to fill.
