I will only accept pens that I'm experienced with working on. Email me if you have any questions
and/or have a pen that you would like restored, and I'll let you know if I'm up for the challenge.
I collect vintage fountain pens, primarily from the 1920's era. Given that many of them are now over a century old,
they will almost always need restoration. For some models, it's as easy as cleaning out any dried ink and
replacing any sacs (which would hold the ink).
Other times, pens arrive incredibly damaged, to the point that even professional restorers are unwilling to fix it.
These include large inconvenient cracks, and important pieces missing (where replacements are impossible to find).
That's where I come in.
I specialize in mostly... untraditional methods of restoration. That'll mean fabricating new pieces out of
brass, sterling silver sheet metal, and even epoxy putty when need be. With certain spare parts being so hard
and expensive to find, this is the best you can usually do. I also occasionally do urushi work when I have
spare time.
