Richard L Greenwald, LLC

[penmaker56]

Richard L. Greenwald, LLC caters toward the "kit-less" pen maker, but also has a few things that component pen makers can use. We are a direct importer of Schmidt's ball point and pencil mechanisms, fountain pen parts, and refills; and we have been casting our 3 to 6 color pour polyester resin pen blanks since the early 2000's. We also deal with commercial pen manufacturers and repair technicians in the pen trade. Because of this, we buy, when offered, manufacturer's overstock of plastics that they used to make their pens.

Mechanisms: Schmidt twist, button, and cap actuated mechanisms, pen-pencil combination and "Pentel" style mechanisms. If don't like the "big nickel plated button" of our #10179, that was featured in Hans Wunch's "how-to" article on the IAP forum (http://content.penturners.org/library/pens/kitlessclickpen.pdf) you might want to try our #10205 mechanism, which is basically the same mechanism only thinner and without the button (you have to make your own button), and was used in our 'Terzo' pen.

Fountain Pen Parts: we stock Schmidt's premium K5 and K6 converters, along with some of their feed, housing, nib units, and their complete piston units (where you would only have to make the body and cap). We were also the first in the USA to introduce the "Rolling Righter" (our own trade name for the unit, with Schmidt's blessing) which is a ball point unit that uses fountain pen ink and can be used with an international style cartridge, converter, or eye dropper fill system.

Pen Boxes: a small selection of pen boxes, including the telescoping packaging tubes which is a standard in the pen repair industry.

Inks and Refills: we stock D1 mini's, the "famous" easyFLOW 9000, SuperBowl 8900 (recently discontinued by Schmidt), DSM pencil refills, plastic bodied 888 roller balls, and the metal bodied 5888 roller balls including the new broad tip, all from Schmidt. And from Monteverde we carry, Cross style ball points, Parker style gel refills, and their bottled fountain pen inks, in all colors, which at 90ml per bottle, in our opinion, is the best ink for the money. We also carry Pelikan's 4001 ink in long international cartridges which work perfectly in the "Rolling Righter."

Misc. Pen Parts: cork washers for making your own cork bodied pens, springs- tapered and cylindrical for refills, and roller ball back spring, thick walled brass walled tubing for interior pen body walls, threaded central bushings for some Schmidt mechanisms, clamping sleeves to turn the rotators on some Schmidt mechanisms, bushings, studs, and connectors.

Tools and Supplies: breather tubing, clear silicone ink sacs (that don't age and discolor like others), "J" bars, pressure bars, small measuring spoons (for measuring out dry pigments for coloring resins with consistency of color), and 6 different size custom made metric taps (made in the USA) to fit the Schmidt mechanisms that we stock.

Hand Cast Blanks: 67 different polyester resin blanks with anywhere from 3 to 6 colors per pour, including 5 that glow in the dark.

Italian Plastics: these are plastics from pen manufacturer's overstock that have used in commercially made pens, blanks have been cut down to approximately 12" long are very reasonably priced. There is even a small quantity of Mazzucchelli Cebloplast mini sheets, found on a manufacturer's shelf collecting dust. And just recently found, original dark blue crushed velvet.

Clearance items: old kits, kit parts, wood banks, horn blanks, inlace blanks, a block of paralam, even a block of plasticized wood made for the custom cue stick makers. When they are gone, they are gone, and not to be restocked.
