Pliers For Stuck Cartridge

[Alexcat]

Got a beautiful Visconti set with several different nibs, plus glass nib dip pen: just put a cartridge into the nib unit, and it can't have been properly pushed on, as it's now stuck firmly in the barrel.

 

Im hoping to get pliers or tweezers to remove....in UK, I have Amazon Prime, and hopefully can get something by tomorrow, but have no idea as to sizing for such things, so......

 

.....help!

take a crotchet needle, guide it into the open mouth of the cartridge and gently pull the cartridge out. Take care that the hook does not slip and mar the pen's finish. Good luck.

Oh, not snotter pen....another pen. But snotter pen will be cracking me up through the day( easily amused, and fools laugh at their own jokes, I know, but I'll take all the happy I can get)

 

Snotter pen. Heh.
