In the UK at least the most common cheap vintage pens are Platignums followed by Osmiroid and then various no name brands. I normally don't bother doing any work on these pens and wait until I have a few of them and than auction them off in a job lot for a few quid.
At least in the UK sacs are £2.50 a piece which is a bit high to begin with. It's not worth while re-saccing a pen that will sell for £5 on a good day.
It just got me thinking that maybe 50 years on when all of the there respective sacs have perished and a few people cast them aside. Are we going to be left in place where these 3rd tier pens will be rare, through people not being willing to repair them. Where vintage pens start at P45 and go upwards.
Kind of interested to know what others do with there Weaver and the like? Other than letting them stack up and selling them to someone else I don't know what else to do with them.
