Where can I buy?

[cbb007]

Does anyone know where I can buy fountain pen kits where the cap will post, but does not have threads so that it has to be screwed on?

I would like some kits where the cap stays on just by pressure or where it clicks to stay on.

Thank you,
Clay B.

Check out these kits from Craft Supplies USA:

Both are snap-cap, and will post.

Clay,

The only one that I know of right now is the Americana sold by CSUSA.

Another possibility. Altho they are 24kt gold, there is NOT much gold to ruin and they ARE cheap.

The Churchill is a good fountain pen where the cap is held on by pressure only, no threads. Good writing and can be had in quality platings.

Don't forget the "Regency", a UK kit that is available from Woodchuckers in Canada. The only problem is that it is available only in 24k gold, but it has been a thicker and more durable gold plating than the typical 24k import that are in our catalogs.

And the Churchill is a variant of the El Grande ...
