Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

The litle story began with some vintage transparent Celluloid parts I found years ago. So I was sure that 139 pens made from transparent Celluloid did exist. For a long long time I was thinking to finish this 139 to a completely demonstrator pen.

After a longer period of work I was able to finish this project. Made from original Celluloid of the 50´s

greetings.

First of all, my congratulations, it is one of the most beautifull restoration work ever.

I saw a few years ago a 139 replica, made with some metal parts of an original 139, but with an acrilic plastic body, made from an italian pen restorator. One great pen collector, representing an catholic order, bought this pen by mistake, thinking that was acquiring an original kind of prototype of something like that. It appears on some fountain pens collectors guide.

but nothing compared with your incredible restoration.

 

By the way, a collector that I use to know have some #129 parts, but never find the nib to complete the pen.

OMG... First word to come to mind is BEAUTIFUL!

Could you restore my cracked 1954 Sheaffer? I jest, a pen show is coming to my town soon :)

 

But wow, bravo to your ever skilled hand.

Wow Max that is just stunning!! Wonderful work of course. Most Montblanc demonstrators do not look very pretty as they were not made to look pretty but you definitely made this demonstrator look very appealing and what a wonderful nib to mount on it! :D

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
