What do I have here? And how do I fix them? The one in the middle is what I bought for its conical nib. It's a lever-filler and appears to be a wonderfully smooth Medium or perhaps even Broad, but the gold part of the cone has had all the lettering worn off. The seller threw in this pen on the left, which he thought was a Sheaffer, but I can now see is a Frankenpen. The body is Sheaffer's, but the section is loose and seems to be a clear amber color. There's an ossified sac in there, and the nib reads Southern Pen Company, and below that is an 'A' inside a diamond, bracketed by the letters DU and LL. The Sheaffer on the right was given to me. No idea of date or make. Is it safe to soak any of the sections while still attached to the pen? And where's a good place to find a basic repair or re-sac kit? I have shellac, but nothing else. My apologies for the awful phone pics. http://extras.ourpatioparty.com/files/9514/4786/3861/3_Old_Pens-640p.jpg
