My Wahl Eversharp wet noodle adjustable nib fountain pen just arrived. I'm really impressed, I couldn't tell from the pictures but this thing is in really good quality. The plastic doesn't even have the slights scratch of flaw in it. Aside from some stained ink on the nib that was pretty easy to remove it almost looks mint (I saw almost because the copyright is slightly worn off).
This writing is absolutely suburb. I think hands down out of all my antique pens this is by far my favorite. The adjustable nib really hits it out of the park too.
This woman, who has done a great deal of good in her life, deserves better than this. She has been a wonderful activist for equal rights as well as science and deserves some support.
I rarely share go fund me pages, but this one seems worth sharing.
I notice some sellers on ebay only leave positive feedback after you leave positive feedback and if you leave negative feedback they leave negative feedback as a sort of way to force you to change your feedback.
I'm tempted to just leave negative feedback for any seller who doesnt leave feedback (after I remind them)
Decided to give a go at restoring antique fountain pens. I bought this pen for 20$, it was completely non functional. After 15 minutes i replaced the rubber sack and cleaned out its guts and now its a 150$ pen.
This is a vintage Wahl Eversharp Skyline from 1940.
WOA, this is kinda a big deal
