WRICO pen?

Recommended Posts

I have acquired a set of these pens. I have searched the internet to find the type and how they function with no success. How were they used, do they have a name? They came with a stack of lettering guides, my only hint. Can someone educate me? post-19599-1216433423_thumb.jpg

Writco pens were used with plastic lettering stenciles foe Engineering drawings. I sold them for many years.

The person who gave them to me gave me a bottle of India Ink. How do you use the ink. The top knob regulates a plunger, if that is true where do you put the ink? Sorry to be so ignorant, but I am. Do they have a special name? Did they work well? Lee

I, too, have acquired a set of these pens with some ceramic stuff I purchased. I was wondering if you can get the ink for these pens. I realize that they are old, but I'd like to be able to use them if possible. Thanks, Dawn

Out of curiosity I looked on eBay and found a couple of unused ones with an instruction sheet for $14.99 with free shipping! As soon as they arrive I'll post the instructions.

 

I do a lot of drawing and I'm in no doubt I'll make good use of them.

They came as a boon, and a blessing to men,

seems messy prone

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'
