I purchased an old Sheaffer demo pen with the idea of turning it into an eye dropper. The section/nib needed a good cleaning so I soaked it. I left the barrel and cap on my desk but put the cap on the barrel so it would not roll away. A trim ring came off the barrel and is now stuck in the cap but I did not know it at the time.
When I put the pen together and tried to cap it, the ring got pushed further in the cap. How can I retrieve it? I tried pulling it out with a paperclip that I bent into a hook but it will not budge. Tried prying with a small screw driver, no go. Tried a wooden dowel with some rubber material around it to grip the ring and nothing. Any suggestions? The cap is metal and so is that trim ring.
