On Point With Go Pens #113


On Point

The gold color seems to be wearing off the ring on the cap of my vintage pen. Can I polish it to bring it back?

This is called brassing. It’s not tarnished but is actually the gold plating wearing off, as you notice, and showing the brass underneath. It cannot really be fixed easily unless you want to have the part replaced or restored by a professional.
