I have one desk set in the light green that is labeled on the bottom No. 326 with Master Point $8.00 It is shaped like the "eightball" desk sets except it hold two pens. (I don't have any pens in it . . . yet). I've always referred to it as my "double eightball" desk set. I found it in an old warehouse/junk store and even then I paid a good deal more than the marked "$8.00". What are such desk sets really called?

 

I agree with Vickie. I think pal38 has a great collection. And one of the new additions is a dark green! Now I know I need another one.

might as well buy a 10 pack. or two.

Even if you never use them all, you can offer to resac for new addicts, uh... I mean your friends.

Sometimes the cat needs a new cat toy. And sometimes I need a new pen.

I bought pen sacs from wood bin, most often, but I get snorkel point seals and o rings from binder.

Where's the best place to get sacs?

 

Like you, I'm in the U.S. I plan to order sacs from this place: http://andersonpens.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=169_171i

 

I don't yet have a pen to restore, but I want to have the repair goodies on hand so that when I do get a pen I can playrepair right away. Also, I plan to order several sacs, just in case I puncture one or two or three while trying to learn how to get them on the nipple.

 

Andersonpens.net also carries the shellac and the talc, both which are needed for the restore project.

you don't need to worry about that... they just pop on. no need to use a tool.

 

by the way, woodbin prices are in canadian... he takes dollars, and so they actually do cost less.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
