I woke up at 5:30 am to work on the final moments of my bid for a 24-pen leather case. It was my third auction for the item (the seller has lots of it) .. I...
Yeah, sounds like a snipe to me. I used to use jbidwatcher for the Mac. It's always important to have a maximum bid in mind, though, so you never go over your...
After much negotiation, I finally finalized a trade deal with another FPN user. MY: Lamy Studio with converter, cartridge, and box, Swisher's Apricot Orange ...
Guys, Richard Binder just updated his website (he does it usually on the first day of the month). His vintage page has some Esties at $50.00 and a couple of...
Hello Butch, Thanks for the post. It's really nice, but like most of us who's been converted and become fountain pen users, there's really no joy in using ...

Hi Leigh, Thank you for the flexy nib sampler of your Esterbrook nibs. I am currently in the hunt for flexy pens at eBay, and in two days, I'll find out if I'm...
Hi Lance, I think I am, our family is quite large (not by blood relations but through adoption during WW2) so there are some relatives (sadly) I don't know by...
Hi Butch, Thanks for the inputs. I have given it some though in the past(in the first year I got into FPs). But it has been through a lot and even without an...
ah, i see. i didn't realize it was that bad. in that case it's probably better kept as is, then, to retain all that it's been through. you can probably buy a...
Hello Kurt and welcome to FPN-P, I was about to suggest that you could do the repairs yourself under supervision at our next meeting (I can bring tools,...
My $10 Vac Junior is here! I wasn't expecting much, and the pen needs some work, but it's generally okay. The nib needs some tuning and all, but it's okay. ...
Well, that'll take care of the nib but not much else. ;) Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless handheld ... From: John Raymond Lim <john.raymond.lim@...> ...
Chito, My experience is (and I've been told) that Estie flexies are not really very flexy. I had a 2048 and I didn't like it at all. Best to go with Waterman...
I so did not get that you were Pep, just glancing at the name in my inbox. ;) I do agree, though. Estie flexies are semi-flex, and require more pressure....
Yep I've yet to meet an estie nib that flexed in any way like a waterman or a wahl. I think esties are for stabbing :) Butch D. Sent from my BlackBerry®...
i just picked up a mystery pen off ebay--old, silver, german, non- working piston, missing its nib. but it cost me next to nothing ($3.50 plus shipping), so...

Hello Lance, Congratulations on your Vac! Sweet deal! I am reluctant to take on repair/restoration work on other people's pens because the risk of damaging old...
I trust your repairing skills! If the pen gets broken, I won't hold it against you. After all, it was only a $10 pen. Can you email me your address? I can ship...
My 2688 (medium flexible in the chart) gives only a very slight line variation. The tines do not open up like a Wahl or a Waterman. I pushed it harder for...
