I bought a pen restoring set and it has a little container of talc powder. I can’t figure out what to do with it or why I need it! Talcum powder is lightly dusted on the new sac. It helps to absorb excess moisture, which increases the life span of the sac – less moisture means less sac rot! Some sacs do not need this but if you have latex sacs, a little dusting can …

I left my pen inked for weeks and now there is gunky stuff on the nib!! What is that? What do I do?

It almost looks alive. If it’s the color of the ink …

Take a look at this interesting pen! This is a 1993 DJ Kennedy “Stylus” shaped bulb-filler, by this famed artist and Sculptor, who produced pens by private order for Nieman Marcus. The pen is hand signed by the artist (on the very bottom of the barrel) as follows: “DJ Kennedy Completed 14 April 1993 No. 95.” Sterling silver repousse work and brass applique. The pen has a Waterman #2 nib (fine, extra-flexible). Curious? Here’s an article …
I bought a vintage pen at a flea market for $6. The seller didn’t know anything about it but it seems to work ok, except the nib has what I think is a crack in it. Is that possible? It’s very possible the nib is cracked. If you use a loupe to look at it, even smaller fractures can be visible. If this is the case, you can consider having your nib repaired by someone …
