Gold Bond restoration

[penwash]

Surprise! Another Gold Bond landed on my workbench.

This one was first appearing at Christof's mini-collection thread along with its three siblings (see above).



And in restoring this one, I was reminded again at how much force sometimes it takes to separate a celluloid and ebonite that has been together for 100 years or so.

Don't worry, no one is hurt, including this restorer

And the nib on this one is truly original marked Gold Bond 14K, and it's "O la la" flexy, flexy.
