TWINS! 1945 & 1947 Waterman's Citation $180 US (pair) $100US each
Hello there. Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I'm back with another pen resurrection Sunday video. Today I've got two of the same vintage fountain pens on the slab, both dead as a doornail, and both ready for resurrection. These are Waterman’s citations from the late 1940s. Although they appear identical, there are subtle differences between the two fountain pens. I intend to restore both of these fountain pens. The citation is a taperite fountain pen, create

1929 Parker Duofold JR *SOLD* ($175 US)
THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there! Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I’m back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today's dead fountain pen on the slab, ready for resurrection, is this a circa 1929 Parker Duofold Jr. Big Red. This is considered a holy grail of vintage fountain pens for many. The Parker Dualfold Big Red was the first fountain pen to come in a colour other than black. Back then, most pens were made of black hard rubber or ebonite, and it wa

1965 Parker 45 "Flighter" Deluxe $50 US
Hello, welcome to Inkquiring Minds, my name is Doug and I'm back with another pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today's pen on the slab is this circa 1960s Parker 45. They didn't date code these things, so it's just a guess. I picked this up at a local antique store just before Christmas. I wanted to take a look at it to see what needs to be restored. I restored one of these already. Let's take a look at this one and see what it needs. I said earlier that I restored one of the

1936 Waterman 92V $150 US *SOLD*
Hello there. Welcome to my channel. My name is Doug and I'm back with another pen resurrection Sunday video. Today’s pen cadaver on the slab, ready for resurrection, is this 1936 Waterman’s 92V lever filler in green pearl celluloid. It took me quite a while to find the date and actual model number of this beautiful fountain pen. The model number stamped into the bottom of the pen is a 52V, but my research on the 52V doesn’t match this pen at all. My pen friend Murray introduc

1970 Parker 51 Aerometric $90 US
Hello there. Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I'm back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today’s fountain pen on the slab, ready for resurrection, is this circa 1969-1972 Parker 51 aerometric in black and gold. It’s a lovely fountain pen, and this is the first late-model Parker 51 I’ve owned. It has some interesting features. Since there are no dates on the outside of the pen, I used the websites Richard's Pens from Richard Binder, and Parkerpens.ne

1940s Waterman's JUNIOR Green Celluloid *SOLD* ($80 US)
THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there. Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug and I'm back with another pen resurrection Sunday video. Today's pen back from the dead and ready for resurrection is this 1930s to 1940s Waterman's Junior fountain pen in green pearl celluloid. It’s a lever-filler and a nice example of early 40s Waterman’s celluloid fountain pen. This pen is fairly small, measuring 4 and 3/4 inches capped. It’s made in Canada and features the ideal logo in the centr

1940s Waterman's Stalwart *SOLD* ($150 US)
THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there! Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I’m back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today, I’m going to restore one of these two Waterman fountain pens. They’re both made in Canada in the 1940s, but they were never dated, so it’s difficult to tell exactly when they were made. They’re almost identical, with the main difference being that the Waterman Stalwart and Dauntless are largely the same pen, but their names can vary dep
