I should probably keep my vintage mouth shut...
This Packard bulb filler holds slightly more than the large Guider ED I own, and is a dream of ease when flushing. The Sheaffer TDs are pretty straightforward, too, although the more complex feeds take a little more effort to clear. I'd put lever and button fillers slightly ahead of pistons and vacumatics in terms of ease, although the latter two hold more ink (but not so much as the bulb filler because the mechanism takes about half the available space). The Sheaffer vacuum fillers hold gobs of ink, but while easy to clean give on a slight heart murmur each time they're worked-- is THIS the time the seals fail? As an aside, the
Conid pen looks like a good bet, if you can lay your hands on one.
