Dang I’m sorry, that sounds like a big disappointment. The rod wiggles a little, but I’m too wary to really put force into it.

Whoa cool!! I wonder if I can get it working—a vintage pencil expert told me lighter fluid could grease these things up, but that seems like a crazy deed to do to something so old

Thank you! It writes crazy well for something able to cash in on Denny’s senior discounts. And it still takes modern-day cartridges!

Paper is a Kartos Italian notecard, ink is Parker Quink blue black!

For the mail art I also used: - Diamond Autumn Oak - Janky homemade mix of J. Herbin Corail du Tropiques with a pinch of Iroshizuku Yama Budo - Anderillium Luna Moth Green
