This has been up here too long.. I'll offer a 10% discount for any purchase, 20% for any two or more.
I’m new here but not to the other boards, directed here by a couple of Big Apple Pen Club friends who told me I needed to be here too. Was up far too late last night reading this board and much like the lightness and friendliness. Happy to be here!
As an inaugural topic, seeing that FPGeekers respect and like inexpensive pens, I’m restoring and selling a growing number of pens for a collector, so am clearing out the inexpensive ones now while restoring the others. Normally, I carefully restore pens, then do a lot of photography and post pens with longer descriptions and writing samples on my timsvintagepens.com website, which you’re welcome to visit, but these pens will not be found there. Also, while these pens have been flushed, tested, and cleaned, they have not been restored or polished. As far as I know, none of these pens have actually been used, except to test for filling and writing. They are priced to move to you…
