I have a Chas. H. Ingersoll fountain pen that was found with a Redipoint in Upstate NY. The Dollar fountain pen is in great shape. Oddly enough, I don't believe its ever been used. The nib is perfectly clean, and I can't see any signs of ink in or around it, even with a magnifying glass. The nib is 14K and the outer casing is silver in color, the nickle plate (I think.). All the pieces are intact. I've opened it to take a look inside, bladder etc. is there. I have not tried to use it. C.H.I on nib & full name on top with a $ sign. It has a chevron pattern. The mechanical pencil is a Redipoint with an advertising top: Howe & Morgan Realty. On this I can't tell if it was used or not in the past. It has lead in place & extra lead inside, and I have tried it just to test. The lead slide down function is very smooth. It has a diamond pattern. I have done nothing to either one, they are in the condition they were found in. The reason I put them together, & would like to keep them together, is that I believe they may have been part of a set from the early years of their respective businesses (Chas. H Ingersoll & William Ingersoll). This idea is based on the average age of all articles found on site, including a "Bausch" eyeglass case, minus the "Lomb". I'd like to get a suggested value, as I will be posting on Ebay, as these are in much better shape than any I saw there. Any info would be appreciated.

Okay, so I have a Pierre Cardin mechanical pencil, one where you twist the top to get the lead out. I dropped it today and the plastic on the inside (where the top plastic cap screws in) cracked. Whenever I try to screw the top in tightly/get more lead out, the crack opens and as a result, I can't get the lead out. I've tried to super glue the crack, but it's not holding. Any other tips?

Help Requested!: Tiffany & Co Silver/ivory Propelling Pencil
bsolis1 posted a topic in It Writes, But It Is Not A Fountain Pen ....
Seeing as you fine people of FPN taught me pretty much everything I know about pens, handwriting, stationery, etc. - I'm hoping someone can help with a PENCIL question. In Feb 2012, I purchased some writing implements from the estate of Rowena Wright Willis - who it turned out, was John McCain's Aunt. The sale had an enormous quantity of obscenely fine items - from jewelry to furniture - so I managed to walk away with my small items for a pittance ($40ish). One of these items is the pencil in question, a Tiffany & Co. propelling pencil in silver and ivory. There are nearly no scratches to be found on the silver, and it is quite easy to see the wavy lines usually found in ivory. It takes a lead slightly larger than 1.1mm. I've exhausted every last ounce of my Google magic, of which there is generally a hearty supply, and come up with very little. I looked through the T&Co Blue Books (1894,1907) available online but did not find a matching description. Can anyone help?

German "goldene Laute" Mechanical Pencil
kaynith posted a topic in It Writes, But It Is Not A Fountain Pen ....
Greetings, I am a antique and vintage clothing dealer, and I have recently found an interesting mechanical pencil that I would like to learn more about. I have attached a few pictures of the pencil. I have already learned about the business that is stenciled on the side, and am more interested in the pen itself. Particularly in the small glass tube that I found inside.- 5 replies
