I have been working on a book about David Kahn Inc./Wearever. I have the ear of Al Kahn Great grandson of Founder David Kahn and (from what i understand) himself president back in the 1960's. My question for you is: If you could ask Mr Kahn anything about the company or pens what would it be? I've already g...

Does anybody have any experience or an opinion on this. http://www.ackermanpens.com./gillott303.htm It sounds very nice to have a resavoir on a dip pen but will it work.

All I've got a couple of pens I could use some help identifying . . . . . . . Pen the first, recent snag from eBay -- it was advertised as an Eversharp, and it did arrive in a beat up Eversharp box -- but it's like no Eversharp I've ever seen, or can find in my small library (I'm not complaining -- it was only a few b...

I was just wondering: both these manufacturers produced lots of affordable pens in the USA, but did they also export the pens to countries outside the America's? For example; the UK had a lot of native brands, but were Esterbrook and Wearever also big players on the Britisch market?

I had this Ingersoll dollar pen that dates from the late twenty's (1929ish) ?for a few months now and here's what i think of it. Appearance I must say I'm not a fan of flat top or cylindrical cap style, this is why I give it a 4/5.? It is a very simple design. It has a reddish brown bakelite body with steel clip...

A friend of mine down in FL is having his birthday next month & wanting to do something special for him I decided to make his present this year. He's even more quirky than I am. He's into vintage pens like all of us & is also a Tobacconist. One of his quirks is he only smokes non filters BUT he won't sm...

I am not sure if this is pre 80's so I was hesitant to put it on here. The pen writes very well, nice and smooth with no skipping that I have experienced. The only pens that I have written with that write better, in my opinion are the Waterman Carene and the Waterman Charleston. It is a piston fill pen and the a...

(click the picture for a much larger/hi-res version.) Here's a review of a nice little fountain pen I bought from DWL - well, actually, it's technically a ball-point piston-filler, but as you can see, I mostly use it now as a FP. My first impressions of the pen seems to be echoed by a few people - the beaut...

There are days when I feel like I'm coming down with a touch of Bi-Polar Disorder.? I swing back and forth between nib types.? The illness often causes me to have 20 pens inked so that I can switch between them as the mood strikes.? What is your typical fancy?? I'm in for a stub but I don't have one in my pocke...

I recently picked up a nice dark Navy Blue Symphony with the elusive slipper cap. When I went to restore it the section had all but melted into a wad of goo. This was the first time I've seen an Eversharp secion do that. I found a black Wahl section (era correct) that I shaved down just a hair (where the secti...

I picked these one up the other day in a lot of pens from ebay. Awesome writers! The first one is a smooth BHR lever filler with the sunburst on the clip. Other than a tiny issue with the end of the barrel it's in excellent condition. The nib is just incredible. [URL=https://s2.photobucket.com/albums/...
