Hi Everybody! I know this is FPN - About 10+ years ago I bought a Tiffany & Co Atlas pencil that appeared to be a rebranded of sort pencil that was from the Pelikan 800 series. I only used it a couple times and it only contained one lead. I opened add lead and could not put it back together. Well, short story long - Pelikan will not touch it and directed me to Tiffany & Co. Tiffany advised it was beyond repair but cannot provide a reason. My hands just do not work well anymore and I do not want play with it and risk breaking it. I am hoping some one on this board could recommend someone who can put it back together. I do not believe it is broken but rather I just do not know how to reassemble it. I believe it identical to a Pelikan K800 as the fountain pen is identical an M800 just different markings. I think this is a simple job for someone with a clue as to correctly put back together. As I stated I am just am not good with my hands anymore as I can barely write anymore and mechanically challenged. The only I kept my pen collection is it reminds me of a better time. Can someone point to a capable repairer for what be an easy job. I can easily be reached at Pelikanman@aol.com for additional details if the need should arrise Best, Thomas Quinn

Seeing as you fine people of FPN taught me pretty much everything I know about pens, handwriting, stationery, etc. - I'm hoping someone can help with a PENCIL question. In Feb 2012, I purchased some writing implements from the estate of Rowena Wright Willis - who it turned out, was John McCain's Aunt. The sale had an enormous quantity of obscenely fine items - from jewelry to furniture - so I managed to walk away with my small items for a pittance ($40ish). One of these items is the pencil in question, a Tiffany & Co. propelling pencil in silver and ivory. There are nearly no scratches to be found on the silver, and it is quite easy to see the wavy lines usually found in ivory. It takes a lead slightly larger than 1.1mm. I've exhausted every last ounce of my Google magic, of which there is generally a hearty supply, and come up with very little. I looked through the T&Co Blue Books (1894,1907) available online but did not find a matching description. Can anyone help?
