No Name Brand Pen Repair

[Scrawler]

Odd named brands can sometimes be tracked to a more known maker. I've noticed older British pens with Typhoo tea name on the clip, and some of them look very promising. I've discoved a Danish phenol factory produced pens under varous brand names, and I think I have a piston filler of their origin, gold nib and nice marbeled stripes. I would grab the next one I come across. You can get lucky with pens like this, even though most of them aren't particularly noteworthy.

The Ty-Phoo Tea pens generally attract some interest. They appeared in various versions over the years, the earliest being attactive mottles hard rubber pens with warranted nibs. Some of the later ones were almost certainly made by Langs.

I had always wanted one. I think you are right about Lang, but I vaguely remember see that Wyvern also made some.

Guess what I found on the green Clifford pen? A Diamond Medal Comrade imprint!!! It's a little bit worn and I only saw it when it was in some strong direct sunlight. Now I'm afraid to play around with it but I'm also pretty jazzed!

You can preserve what is left of the imprint by cutting a piece of scotch tape to size and covering the imprint with it when you clean and polish the pen body
