Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A small catalog of individually restored vintage fountain pens, each accompanied by a documented restoration record.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The homepage pairs a direct-sales catalog with a chronological restoration journal, giving each pen a corresponding record rather than presenting it as an undifferentiated vintage object. The first entry documents a late-1930s Pepsi-Cola advertising pen whose filling system was rebuilt and whose original lettering and unusually clear ink window were retained. The item is marked one of one, priced at $109.99, and accompanied by a condition report and disclosed flaws.
