Old pen kits.

[yorkie]

I recently bought some pen kits from a retired turner. They include some 24k gold plated kits and some actual Cross mechanism kits as well as few other styles.

Do you recognize any of these kits? Any info you can give me? I'm looking for instruction sheets and/or bushings.

Thanks a lot, guys.

I can't speak for the others but the Comfort Pen Kit is still available through PSI.

Yeah, I just found the comfort and it looks like I can still get hold of the instructions for the Euro stuff.

I can't find anything about the Cross pen and pencils or the euro screw cap though.

The Cross is an old Woodcraft "broker" pen I believe.

I can't find the Woodcraft instructions, but here's a similar one from Craft Supplies:

The pen with the cross transmission is the original Wall Street sold by Woodcraft and was available way before the broker came on the scene from PSI. They were excellent kits. I still have a couple I use at my desk. I never liked the broker as well. I have bushings (I think) and probably the Woodcraft instruction sheet. I would lend you the bushings to make the kits. The broker bushings from PSI may work. I can measure the busings and we can check the numbers against the broker bushing measurements. I'll check and see if I have the bushings.

I may even have the instructions for the other kits also.

I know I have a set of bushings around here too -- still have one of these kits in the bag too......

Don, I would love it off you would lend me the bushings. I will return to you with a thankyou something. I will pm you with my address. They look like great highquality kits.

I found the Wallstreet bushings. They measure .334 on the end that slips inside the tube and .420 for the larger dimension. Let me know if you need to borrow them and I will put them in the mail. Check the library article that gives the tube and bushing sizes for kits and see if the broker bushings are the same. I would bet they are.
