    Default Vintage PIF

    New to vintage pens? Not sure how to care for hard rubber pens? Into restoration or nib work? This PIF is for you.

    Pen is a 1930s Commonwealth squeeze filler with an Osmiroid 35 nib. It used to be a button filler, but there is no mechanism in it. Ink sac is new. Nib writes but with a very small sweet spot. BHR has faded to an even dark brown - brassing is on the cap. However, it is perfectly functional. Nib has some flex.

    EDIT: I'm devastated to disappoint all the hopefuls, but massive klutz me has dropped the pen and now the nib is SOL. This PIF will have to be put on hold. Again, I apologize for the disappointment.




    PIF is available worldwide. No restrictions on entry.

    This might be the time to overcome my pointless fear of 'real' vintage squeeze filler pens ... I'm in. :-)

    Oh, this is amazing! I've been eyeing vintage (flex) pen's for a while now, but haven't had the courage to take the plunge and obtain one, mostly for the reasons you mention in the OP. Please consider me for this PIF!
