    Thank you all! In response azkid, I started with a inexpensive Sheaffer ($15) and emediately got hooked, as I’ve always appreciated quality wrighting instruments. I then purchased a restored 1950’s Burnham B48 in a beautiful marbled jade green. I ended up buying some small pen lots to try my hand @ mild restoration, and I believe I got quite lucky with my purchases.

    In the 1st lot was a: Waterman’s 92 in the steel quartz, Wearever 100 DeLuxe in striped bronze, and what looks like a large Eclipse that sort of looks like a orange Duofold. I’m not sure on the Eclipse being so new to things.

    In the 2nd lot: Wearever 100 in the striped grey, a National that has a “clear” barrel, and two others with one with a DURIUM nib and one witha VIS-A-VAC nib that need identification

    I also scooped up a nice dark blue Parker Challenger.

    Most of those in the lot just need ink sacks and “J-bars”.

    Ink I’m lacking in. I’ve got a sample of Sailor Storia Green, and some Parker Qwink.

    Sorry for the long post. I may be a little over zealous as I’ve found people that understand my wrighting tool mania
