Guys,
Every now and then we get a fun project to work on. A friend of mine asked me to take a look at a pen that came from his wife's grandfather's collection. I think he said it was either a 1930's model or a 1950's model, can't remember because he had two of them, but the clip reads "PAT. SEP. 5 16 (Sept. 5, 1916?). I am trying to figure out how to best get this one back in writing condition. I was thinking of making a new grip section for it and fit it with a new Bock nib. Have any of you seen or restored one like this? Is it a reservoir fountain pen? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The barrel reads:
DOUFOLD PARKER
GEO. S. PARKER FOUNTAIN PEN
TORONTO CANADA
The top of the clip reads:
PAT. SEP.
5 16
Thanks,
marksman
