Help With Clip On Grandma's Gold Bond Pen

[jimsan]

I have my Grandmother's fountain pen. It is not valuable but it has her maiden name inscribed on the barrel. The clip is broken off. I have a Donor pen of a similar make. Does any one know a pen repair expert that can pull the inner cap liners and move the clip on the donor pen to Grandma Helen's pen. I want to give it to her namesake as a gift. I don't think I could do it.

The target pen is in the foreground.

I would imagine that Ron Zorn at Main Street Pens could do this for you. All the best! And, what a wonderful thought!

Ron could certainly do it, but you'd likely wait a long time. I think Danny Fudge could do it, and his turnaround is quite swift.

 

In my parts box, I have the same pen (same color and size); it, too, has a name on it and is missing the clip!

 

Good luck!

Ron was willing to do it and to expedite it but my wife nixed the plan. I recently found out that my company is closing my division and my employment is at risk. That made Christmas spending tight. I thank those that have send helpful suggestions. We have decided to give a rare book instead of the pen to my daughter also from my Grandmother.
