Buncha Wearevers...

[gweimer1]

I picked up a lot of 4 Wearevers, cheap, to play with and further my learning of pens. I'll get pics up as soon as I can, but here's what I've got, and my first impressions.

 

Wearever Pennant (and it's GREEN) - I restored this one, and I tell you what, this pen is SMOOTH. Seriously smooth, although a bit on the wet side. I'd call this one of those diamonds in the rough.

 

Wearever Golden Bullet - this looks to have the same nib as the Pennant, so we'll see when I get it finished.

 

Wearever Zenith - I think that's this model. Another lever fill, I'm waiting on a sac, but the nib looks nice. And the gold plated nib? Well, I learned that their version of gold plating was akin to waving the nib in front of the gold. A light polish of the nib took it all off. Live and learn, but it still looks like a decent nib

 

Wearever Deluxe 100 - this one is a button fill. I need to learn how these work, and how to get this one apart.

Enjoy! I taught myself the beginnings of pen repair on Wearevers, and they're fun. The plastic can be pretty fragile, though, so be sure to use heat.

The Pennants are great, and they come in 3-4 nib widths. If only the chrome were a little thicker they'd actually be nice pens.
