Hello! I'm from suburban Philly and got into fountain pens in college. I found this site while trying desperately to find information on a pen that will fit some old nibs I have. (bought in the '80s. They are "Senator" nibs, but the pen (I swear) was a "Pelikan Senator", but try as I might, since my husband and I both lost our pen bodies for these pens that we used extensively at the time, I can find no documentation that such a pen ever existed!)
Look forward to maybe getting some answers.

Welcome to FPN.
There is a Senator pen brand, apparently made in Germany. Several are currently on sale on EBay.

Welcome to the forum! Senators are great pens. They can still be found, look for one!.

Hi there and sorry, I can't help you out with those nibs. Make a few pics and scan them in here under "Writing ..."

xarophti and Tom L,
I'm in Delaware County when I'm not in the Caribbean. Maybe run into you both someday.
