I have been collecting fountain pens for about 15 years and repairing my
own pens for about  6 years and have opened my repair shop to the public
for a couple of years now.  I have accumulated over 500 vintage writing
instruments and have restored the majority of them myself with tutelage from
a 3rd generation pen seller and repair guru. I repair about 20-30 pens per
month and I am pleased to serve you with regards to your vintage writing
instrument needs.  

Feel free to contact me at your convenience:

Restoration Services


All pens repaired will be returned to you lightly polished (unless instructed otherwise) and
writing in good order.  I will check the nib for alignment and flow and adjust as needed.

10% discount on labor for any number over 10 pens; I will consider pens or parts in trade for
repair work.  My turn around is usually less than 2 weeks for pens sent to be back in your
hand, unless parts are required that must be ordered.

I accept Paypal under the ID of yellowjacket1980@yahoo.com or personal check or money
order.  You may pay when you receive your pen back in the mail with an invoice.

Satisfaction is guaranteed; if I cannot fix your pen I will return it without charge.  All work
guaranteed for quality.  If the repairs on your pen fail to perform within 1 year of service
return it for reworking at no charge.
