Hi Stef, I watch every one of your videos but I’m guilty of not leaving a comment or giving thumbs up but I do enjoy them. I have bought from yourself, a lovely green Esterbrook J this year. Keep on doing what you do we do appreciate your work.

Stef, keep up the great work, I personally enjoy your videos

Hi Stef, your videos are often a highlight of my week, so it'd be great to see them continue. Definitely some interesting pens in your haul. The gold/brown marbled NS Duofold will make a great pen for someone. I have that model (c.1948 ish, I think) and love the Newhaven nibs. The ones I have are often slightly stubby and give your writing a nice little bit of line variation. Looking forward to seeing how some of these turn out once you've worked your magic.

Stef keep the videos coming entertaining and informative .

Does onoto 50 grip unscrew or friction fit like these?

interesting to see some kinda history of the pens with the inscipt :)

Nah you’re great. 25 year old vintage pen enthusiast from USA!

Hi Stef, I am still enjoying the videos a lot! The pen haul videos are my favorite because it feels like going on a pen finding adventure myself. I've been feeling rather down on the pen hobby recently, not so much gets me interested anymore after years of collecting (and some disastrous recent restorations) so I haven't been watching as many pen content lately, no fault of your own.

Adding prices would be a huge bonus (either 'as is' or 'restored') rather than subscribers having to 'get in touch'.

Nice selection of pens in this haul Stef, the Bank engraved ones are very interesting and tell a story. I know you joke about always getting Parker 51’s in every haul but you can’t deny their popularity back in the day and nowadays! I still use and enjoy my lovely 51 Insignia I bought from you years ago, a great writer, very reliable, perfect size for me and very tactile in the hand. I never miss any of your videos and always enjoy them so definitely not the time to stop making them, I really appreciate and thank you for your excellent work.

always enjoy your informative & interesting video's

Steph…..I think most of us have stopped watching on our laptops and tablets. The KZbin app is standard on any new smart tv. So while we get to enjoy your vids on the big screen, it is hard to leave a comment. Love your content!

Great video's. Have to be careful... I already have more fountain pens than I can keep inked for use.

I love your videos. G.O.D.E. on the Bank of Egypt pen refers to the Gulf Organization for the Development of Egypt. COGASCO is a natural gas transport company in Argentina that would take payment in "hard" currency and then use that to deal with the state to help Argentina's weak economics. I would guess the owner of those pens was involved in petroleum or banking (or both)

Well Stef, I think it’s a matter of overload and swipe happy fingers. Practically every video I watch asks now for a thumbs up and to leave a comment. Often I do, or rather, I did, but as more often than not there is no response from the KZbinr, one looses heart. But don’t give up, and don’t overthink it. Keep doing your thing, we love you!

Thanks for showing us another great pen haul. Its always good to see your videos and I'm always impressed with how well you restore your pens. I love and appreciate what you do. 😊

Hi Stef, Thanks for the video, It is a wonderful selection of pens and pencils from some top manufacturers, 2 of which I have my eye on. The Montblanc pens are interesting items. Love the Videos. Keep them coming.

The Parker pens with the inscription that mentions Egypt and $250,000,000 may have been presented to principles in large bond issues or loans. I have a lovely Sheafer Targa with an inscription commemorating a large industrial bond issue the law firm I worked for completed. The firm actually had quite a number made, and I was fortunate enough to receive one of the extras.

Hey Stef, please never ever stop. These pen videos keep us all going. I am 26 years old and I love vintage fountain pens in part because of your videos and the ones that I have bought from you. I use them on rotation as everyday writers. Fountain pens are an art form and one that is very much dieing out and its good people like yourself that keep it going by being on the hunt for them rare beauties. And with the extensive knowledge that you have its great to hear you sharing it. We are all here and all watching always and even if we dont have time to leave comments or money to buy them we appreciate them none the less Stef. Stay safe and keep em coming. Jack from Ireland

We LOVE your videos!

Nice and Love ly pen

I enjoy your videos , especially the pen hauls and what they lead to.

The MB pens were probably corporate gifts. SA is the Spanish abbreviation for Sociedad Anonima, the equivalent of Pty Ltd in English. As far as I know, "COGASCO S.A." was a consortium of gas companies assembled in the 1980s for exploiting gas reserves in Argentina . You saved the best for last with the Vacumatics and the CS 60. Mmmm......very tempting. Stay warm, stay well lubricated. Cheers, old pal.

I love these videos, as I learn so much! I like the look of the 'part-repaired' Vacuumatic. It's not often you see a Vacuumatic that isn't the stacked pattern

I have always enjoyed your videos because it always come from the heart.

Stef I love these videos. Please don't stop making them. I've bought several pens that I've seen and look forward to more videos next year!

The videos are very much still of interest, Stef, even if they are getting fewer comments. Did I spy an italic/stub nib on that black 51?

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP! I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU! I WOULD BUY MORE FROM YOU BUT THE SHIPPING IS OUTRAGIOUS!!!!!!

Hi Stef. S.A. might mean a limited liability company. It’s an abbreviation for that used in some countries like France, Spain and South American countries.

I found this about Cogasco making an important agreement in 1980: www.osti.gov/biblio/6205952

One more nice and useful video, for which I thank you, Stef. I do appreciate them. Regards.

I have enjoyed your videos. Not enough money to buy anything right now. Please don't feel unappreciated.

Nice haul. Always love your videos & look forward to them.

Quite a few interesting loose fountain pens there Stef .

Undoubtedly a pen of the first rate. Lucky me, there's one with me right now. Beaut pen but a bit too skinny for my arthritic hand. The new owner won't be disappointed, especially in sterling silver. Cheers, old chap.

I do like that, very, very nice!

A very nice looking pen Stef. Not my style, but I'm sure there's someone who would love the experience of writing with such a beauty!

This was one of my favourite two of the Gentleman. There was a bria wood lacquer. I’m sure the Gentleman was still available in the mid 90s. The Man version was available in the late 80s, it was part of the ‘large pens’ inc. MB 149, Parker Duofold, Sheaffer Connoisseur, Diplomat Classic.

I use the black one for over 30 years now and it is still my absolute favourite. It’s elegant, writes smooth and the ink capacity is pretty big for a slimline pen. About the different boxes, in Europe the red box was the standard box.

Super Shiny Stunner!

where can I buy the sacs I need to replace one

Is this also described as a twist stud filler?

👍👍👍

Amazing & grate

These are selling for around $2000 if you can find one.

It was always a classic comment in pen world, a gentleman who’s lead had run out of pencil!! Usually a chap in his 50-60s (1980-90s) Usulally their grandand’s pencil, you then start to take it apart, whilst they screamed and yelled in horror, and show them at the top where Grandad kept his lead!! No sale of lead, grandad kept it full 😆

Hi Grandmia, from (usually sunny) South Africa. I've been enjoying your videos for ages and feel guilty for not subscribing earlier. Please keep it up, I have learnt a lot from you. Best regards... John Skinner

yard of led has a lifetime service warranty if i remember correctly

Some very interesting models that would look good at any time. Cheers.

Nice collection!! (Yard-o-Lead model names are a mystery to me!) 👍👍
