A little something different. Instead of a pen, the actual “bench”.
A vintage swan pen repair kit in the original wooden box. The tools are sized to fit inside the box. I know that Parker sold repair kits for prospective pen technicians. I don’t know if Swan sold these as kits or if they were distributed to certified technicians.
There is a wooden knock-out block, a small brass anvil and concave plaque to straighten nibs, a sack scraper, a feed punch, tweezers, a short blade/cutter, brush, and rubber tire pads. I don’t know the purpose of the spring loaded clamp and the wooden block with a semi-abrasive pad. Perhaps it is for smoothing out the nibs?
The kit came from a closed repair shop in the UK. The tools are sized to the width, length, and height of the box.
I may add a small hammer, scissors, and perhaps a small glass burner with heat shield to complete the kit. I am guessing they would have been part of the kit.
I would be glad to hear from people more familiar with the kit. I see that there have been several listed.
