Hey guys, I bought this pen in hopes of restoring. This is my first project like this. I bought it off eBay. It’s marked with Wearever on the clip and has a clear feed. The only thing that’s throwing me off is the band is much wider than any other pacemakers I’ve seen. I would like to properly ID si...

What brand to you see as underestimated in the marketplace and with collectors? For me, it's Wearever, I have several and they are great pens. I have three Zenith pens with gold nibs, all are great writers and less than $25. I have a Burgandy colored pen with Parker Brown ink and it writes smoo...

Oh goodness… I need your help with this pen restoration.

So.. I finally got my shipment from Anderson Pens for restoring my little Wearever and everything went great! I put a new sac on (which is watertight) and put a new j-bar in (40mm) but since they didn’t have talc in stock I ordered it from a separate place, and it is due to arrive soon. Anyway, so a...

Help! How do I restore this pen?
collectorofmanythings posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
I just impulsively got my first vintage pen, as well as my first pen needing restoration, at an antique store a few hours ago. But, I have absolutely no clue how to restore it. When I opened it, the sac was absolutely dust and the metal pressure bar fell out in two pieces. I expected the sac to be d... -
I have a decent collection of the striped WEAREVER PACEMAKER pens, pictured below. I have 10 of the FPs and one mechanical pencil (2nd from left). I've collected this pen so far in four different colors. PenHero has covered Wearever pens quite extensively in other topics in the Other North Americ...

I just received two nibs from someone who knows I like pens. The nibs were straight out of a box from the '40s (has been opened since, but still exciting). I was excited to hear about them, and I want to know more! One is a Wearever nib, a company I am very familiar with, but I would like to know if...

Just acquired this Wearever pen that appears to be a Pennant model, except for a few details that are different from any Pennant I've seen. For one thing, it has a 14k nib with clear feed. The cap is slightly different in that it has no polished cap band. Also, the section is the same color as the b...

I am trying to restore an old Wearever lever filler pen that I bought on ebay. It's my first attempt at fixing an old pen. When I dip tested the nib and feed they seemed to work well and produced a nice fine line. The sac was a hardened mess inside. So I opened it up and cleaned everything out....

Please Help Id This Vintage Wearever Ballpoint Pen
bettibriedad posted a topic in It Writes, But It Is Not A Fountain Pen ....
I would greatly appreciate the community's help in definitely identifying this vintage Wearever ballpoint pen which I purchased on ebay a number of years ago. Somehow, I thought that I was ordering a fountain pen but I must have overlooked something because I received an interesting ballpoint inste...

I picked up this Wearever bulb-filler at a junk store, but have been unable to identify it. The cap band is missing (and those two smudges on the cap are from my inky fingers). Any idea of the model and approximate production date? Thanks. (corrected a spelling error)

Hey everyone! I apologize in advance for the lack of photos; pens are all apart right now for cleaning/repair...will add pics later... Since I had to drive home from school (Walla Walla to Bellevue) to pick up a bicycle (long story) I thought I'd seize the opportunity and visit all the antique sho...

Salutations and Hiyahs, I'm not a techie, so the low-tech but quality workmanship of fountain pens attracts me. Probably a bit of a tactile person, too, who likes the feel of a good pen and good ink on quality paper. That feeling is right up there with beautiful sunsets, college football, sausag...

I have two Wearever pens that are in good condition but one has a good sac but needs some adhesive. the other has a good sac but was glued with super glue. Probably best for people that do not have big hands. CONUS only. Thanks, Rene'

Hello all! Newbie here. I have a purchased a button fill Wearever in need of repair. The button mechanism is a red jewel (plastic). I have ordered a new pressure bar, cleaned the pen but, the red "button" is sticking when it is pressed down. i have taken it apart and cleaned everything pretty wel...

I'm fairly new to fountain pens. I bought this pen off eBay with little information, although it did say it needs to be cleaned. Based on the appearance, it is a Wearever pen with an iridium nib and a lever fill. Any information on this pen would be great.

My first repair, and the first topic I've started. Whoo!! I found this pen at an antique mall for 50 cents (along with a couple Welsharps that are still needing some fine tuning.. ahem.) Anyway, I'm rather pleased with myself. I got it all cleaned out, slightly polished, re-sacked, and adjusted th...

Can someone ID this Wearever I scored for cheap on eBay. I'm currently in the process of restoring it. The pens seems to be made of celluloid and it is faceted with 8 sides. And is a flat top. Lever filler. Screw on cap. http://i.imgur.com/PPJgVtR.jpg?2 Dimensions: Whole pen: Length capped: 5"...

Hi, folks! When I am not playing with Sheaffer or Swan Visofil pens, I have a secret interest in Wearevers. I guess it's because when you go pen hunting there are just so darn many of them in antique shops and I can't just pass over them. Wearevers are kind of like filler in between nicer pens, b...

Tight Screw On Aluminum Caps On Wearever Pennant - Is It Common?
alexro posted a topic in Repair Q&A
I have got the third Wearever Pennant pen in my hands and all of the caps on them screw up very tight. Is it because the plastic under aluminum overlay somehow shrinking with age? Nevertheless, what is possible to do with this problem? And is there a layer of varnish on Wearever's aluminum caps? Co... -
I've started to acquire and restore some Wearever pens. with a minimum of work I figure people can get the feel of a vintage pen for $15 or $20 or so. (Esterbrooks, although also excellent pens are getting pretty pricy for anything in decent condition.) They clean up and write quite nicely. I did...

Hi guys, I'm still here! I recently bought a Wearever at an antique stop. A bit of a learning experience -- made me look up the brand, and I learned that Wearever produced models prolifically, some even without names. That makes ID more challenging, of course, which is why I need your help. :3 I bo...

Found some pens at a local "antique" shop today. Not the greatest deal, but decent to my inexperienced eye. Four fountain pens: Wearever lever filler Wearever cartridge pen Eberhard Faber lever filler Shaeffer cartridge pen (in taupe, much bigger than a school pen) Three ballpoints/mechanical pe...

These will need some restoration work before they can write again. Just arrived today from the Bay of E, and these are the ones I know the least about. Keystone pen and pencil combo: http://i61.tinypic.com/214cpja.jpg The nib is marked 'Durium 14K Plate'; half the gold seems to have been worn a...
