I thought I would post this here also...

I just purchased an Esterbrook Double Jewel Pen/Pencil set on eBay Here it is !!... more than likely paid more than it was worth to a collector, $28 inc shipping. BUT this one is engraved with the FFA (Future Farmers of America) logo on the top caps of both pen and pencil.
Since my FIL's farm is across the road and my little girl has decided that when she grows up she is going to be a farmer (that is unless I can convince her that being President is better, ) I decided she had to have these... I even have a nice new medium 9XXX nib for her to put on it when I resac it..

Here is the problem the pencil has part of the grasping prongs missing and is not working. Is it possible to get this fixed REASONABLY... Even canabalizing another pencil...
The seller is offering to give another pencil, but it is not the same color and does not have the engraving...
I am taking the original set whether the pencil is repairable or not... just for the FFA emblem... but would really like to fix it if I can...

The price was about right for a decent set in the box Esty.

Esty pencils, though, are a pain. It's hard to find one that works.

I had a balky Dollar Pen pencil that Brian Anderson (aka The King of all things Esterbrook) was able to fix for me.

You ought to ask him what he can do for you. I can vouch that he does great work.
