I bought a 30-40's Desk Pen which does not include its original receptacle. I would like to put it away over night or over a week and have it ready to write when I grab it again. It will be easy for me to machine a holder or a "cap" that behaves like a holder, though turning a reamer to bore a narrow inside taper could be something of a challenge.
So can someone give me an idea of the general principle here? I might guess that the desk holder is a cone and forms a seal with the leading rim of the section. But this is a place where someones actual experience would be way better than my guess. Your advice greatly appreciated.
