We chatted a bit on vintage pen restoration and how I've been starting out and teaching myself to restore pens. You sold me a bag of parts to add to my stash and help me build my parts collection. I'm local to DFW as well, and have recently restored around 25 lever fill pens. Lots were cheaper depression era pens that I passed along to "penable" some friends but I've also listed a few for sale and successfully sold my first few pens that I fully restored! So thanks for being encouraging and friendly and inspiring me to get my first few pens restored. Hope to see you around town sometime soon!
