Cascade In Green-Gray

[trdsf]

Another new arrival! I'm already in love with this pen -- the barrel and cap are decagonal, it has an ink reservoir window that wasn't shown on the auction page, and the nib is a lovely two-tone gold and iridium job. And it's my first Cascade -- another new name for the spreadsheet

 

Can't wait to get it re-sacced!

That's a beautiful pen! I don't know anything about Cascade. Have you re-sacked it?

[trdsf]

Not yet, no -- I'm ordering a kit with all the pieces-parts I need to fix this, and a few other pens that need re-saccing. I seem to be backing into doing restoration work...

It will make things a lot easier (or harder for your wallet ) for you. You'll buy more confidently, even if a pen needs a new sac, since you'll know how to re-sac. It's very easy.

Yeah, I did some research and it looks straightforward enough; as soon as the kit's here it will bring four to six pens back to life immediately, and then just be on hand pending further need. The Cascade will have to wait until Grandpa's Conklin is up and running again, though. That's first, even though it still needs the pressure bar put back on the lever. It's the principle of the thing.
