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.

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!
