hi! Vintage collector here! when it comes to Esterbrooks, you can unscrew the nibs and swap them out. They had a whole line called renew points that have all sorts of nib sizes including flex :) also, lever fillers are the easiest to restore as I’ve done it countless times. I’m jealous of your blue Parker Vacumatic, I’ve always wanted one! You have a beautiful collection. If you don’t already have one I suggest looking at buying a Sheaffer Oversized Balance. They’re amazing pens!

commenting again because I’m incredibly jealous of your Snorkel! That color is called buckskin tan. It’s very sought after and hard to find. Congratulations on it! I suggest going to Danny Fudge at the write pen to get your pens restored. Met him at the Dallas pen show and his work is amazing. Main Street Pens and Pentiques are also great options when it comes to restoration :D

Noooo, not the fountain pen heaven!!! XD Those poor pens lol. You have some very interesting pens, I haven't used or collected a lot of pens from the brands you have (Schaefer, Parker, and Montblanc). Thanks for sharing your 3-year collection :D

@@KenchanKrafts Haha I know right! Breaks my heart. Thank you so much! I would say Schaeffer, Parker and some of those other US brands don’t have much current appeal in the community outside of their vintage pens so that makes sense! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :) Thanks for commenting!

Great vintage collection. And that red & black ebonite Swan is amazing! I collect vintage pens, including Mabie Todd (Swans), & never seen a model like yours. Great score. Would love to see a review on it.

Thank you!! This whole time I wasn't completely sure if it was a Mabie Todd. I have tried to do some research on it but haven't found much. I would love to know more. It's one of my favorites! I'll definitely make a video on it soon :)

Well, that was fun looking thru ur fountain pens. You don't have to explain to anybody why you picked a fountain pen. I think most people are drawn to the different pens because of the way they look. It speaks to different people. Idk if you ever watch Inkquiring Minds. He does a couple diffent types of videos. One series is call Pen Resurrection Sunday where he brings old pens back to life. He's gotten quite a few new tools lately that makes it easier to restore them.

Thank you! I absolutely agree. I might have seen a few videos. His name sounds familiar. I'll go check him out!

How much is your pens collection combined:)

Honestly I'm not quite sure. A lot of them I found at estate sales at a great price, so I was wondering how much my collection is valued at too. I'll probably do a short on it soon!
