During my normal morning stroll through the eBay ads I found this one

"Up for bid is a Parker Vacumatic fountain pen. The nip is has the arrow in gold and says USA Parker. Gold clip and ring at top, 3 gold rings at bottom of cap and gold at the top as well as the pump button is gold. The barrel is cleanly broken in half, looks like a real easy fix"



UH YEAH.... real easy to fix a Vacumatic that is broken in half headsmack.gif
What was real interesting is that people are bidding on it....

Not only is it "atheistic" but it also uses a "draw converter" or those "international disposable tube sticks." And it's refillable!

Put me down for anything this guy sells.

Sure, its an easy fix, Griz. Just glue it together. roflmho.gif Just don't expect to use it, unless you want a nice dip pen.

It looks like Tony's Mini Mart has been buying from Gotoschool888. I have several boxes just like the one in the picture...
