Mb Simplo Safety Filler

[farmdogfan]

Which one might this be? i can´t find much about it.

And how do you fill it?, i suppose it is an eyedropper of some sorts and why is there a pin in the cap?

It seems to be in good shape, no cracks or anything, very smooth "nib movement" and a nice very flexible nib.

Any help appreciated.

Just guessing, but given it has a number 4 nib I would say it is a no 4 safety filler. The pin is in the cap to keep you from capping the pen with the nib extended. You should be able to retract the nib and then cap it. Very nice pen by the way. You could get the oxidization removed and then add a nice snake clip.

Thanks for the info, i`ll look further for "4 safety filler".

Would you also know how to fill ink in it?

[Pelikan Vera]

yes when the nib is retracted fill it up with an eyedropper. You maybe want to check with water first to see whether the seals are good though, as you might otherwise take a shower in ink..... Cool pen.

[farmdogfan]

Thanks Pelikan Vera, and how does the ink stay in the pen when the nib is retracted and the cap is on?

[farmdogfan]

I see the cap with needle acts as a seal against the pen when retracted, now to try it.

"You could get the oxidization removed and then add a nice snake clip." How would one go about removing the oxidation?.

Max of Maxpens shows an example of restoration on his website. I think there is somebody in the US that sells a "potion" for this. Here is the website:

Thank you for your help and the link, but i have decided to leave it as it is, i´ll just give it a cleaning and then use it as it is.

 

I filled it with ink and it writes beautifully and very flexible, also there is no leaking when the cap is on, so everything is honky dory.

 

Anyway i have discovered that the hardrubber parts on some of my other old pens slowly is turning darker so this one may do the same.

Glad the pen is working nicely. I hope you get many years of use from it. It is a lovely pen.

Congrats on your nice vintage.

Please don't get the pen reblackened by any special pen sauce or chemical treatment. This pen is a very uncommon pen- why ruin it with waht is the equivalent of black paint?

Hi George.

I´m not going to re-blacken it as i wrote earlier, but just use it a lot because it is so fun to write with.

[Pelikan Vera]

Oh Farmdogfan you now have to give us a writing sample with your awesome collection to show us how they perform.

[farmdogfan]

Here is a quick sample, the downside of this system is that nib is covered in ink when you screw it out, which can be seen on the pic.

Love this, nice and flexible. Congratulations again.

Thank you very much Pelikan Vera.

always nice to see those old simplo Excuse me for the stupid question but how is it that a discolouration appear on the cap and on the barrel to the cap lip but not on the parts of the barrel that are under the cap? The cap is so tight that there is no discolouration under it?
