What Lesser-Known Vintage Pen (Model And/ Or Maker) Are You Using Today?
gregamckinney posted a topic in Of Nibs & Tines
Greetings pen friends, We see a lot of "what are you carrying today" threads, and since some models (Balances, 51's, etc.) are so popular, they tend to dominate the discussion. So, today, I'm asking about what vintage pen you are carrying from a lesser-known maker and/ or of an unusual model. This is an old photo, but shows the LeBoeuf 75 that I'm carrying today (as well as the watch I happen to be wearing.) http://www.gergyor.com/images/iwc+leboeuf80.jpg So, let's see what's in your pocket (or what you're carrying) that is vintage, uncommon or unusual! Best Regards, greg -
I have a LeBoeuf Unbreakable with a great #8 nib. The pen has been sitting in my collection for years and has never been restored. To my knowledge, all it needs is a good cleaning and new sac, although I would also like to tighten up the clip. So two questions for the experts: 1. Does anyone know whether the section is friction fit (in which case, I'll assume that it may have been shellacked) or is screwed on? I have tried gently nudging it both upwards and counterclockwise, but it didn't budge. 2. I would appreciate advice on how best to bend the clip closer to the cap without damaging either the clip or the cap. Thanks, MRP
