Pen Repairmen (repairwomen)

February 23, 2006

Ok I am kinda new to this forum, just a month or so visiting.... is there a list of repair experts somewhere on the forum?

Could the repairmen step forward and let us know who you are. I am sending two of my pens to the Pen Den to be repaired, and I was wondering who else does repairs and what are your areas of expertise?

Johnny,

Sorry I can't help, wrong side of the World but I know Richard Binder offers repair services.

Having said that, some specialise in certain types only and may for instance send out a Snorkel to someone else.

I met Sherrel at the LA Pen Show last week. She, and her brother, led a session on Pen Restoration and I was very impressed with their knowledge and skill. Sherrel does the Shaeffers and her brother does the Parkers. Interesting division of labor

Sherrel gave me some very good advice on cleaning up my pens and her brother was kind enough to take a look at, and straighten a bent nib for me. No charge for either, and, as an extra bonus, the conversation was great.

I haven't had them repair anything for me but, if you can judge folks based on social impressions, they will be first rate.

Jim Mamoulides has a list of penrepairers on his site penhero.com. There is a ton(ne) of good info there.

One bonus of sending a pen to Sherrell is how she packs it on return.

There are a number of good repairers out there, but they tend to have slow turn arounds, once they're well established.

Sherrell returns everything beautifully wrapped in paper, tied with a ribbon, with a sample of how the pen writes, list of repairs done, model identification, some history (the pen's not hers) and an estimated value!
