THESE PENS HAVE SOLD! Hello there! Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. I’m Doug, and I’m back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today, I have two dead fountain pens ready for a revival. These are both Parker Vacumatics, and they’re from the fourth quarter of 1945. One is in Golden Pearl, and the other is in Silver Pearl. I couldn’t decide which one to work on first, so I’m doing them together. If I encounter any difficulties with one or both, this video will end up as a tw

THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Today’s dead fountain pen on the slab is ready for resurrection. It’s a mid-1930s to late 1930s Sheaffer Balance Lever Filler. It's in this beautiful striated amber color, and it has a lot of wear and age to it. And before I look at what this pen needs to be resurrected, I'll briefly talk about the history of the Sheaffer Balance. This is a revolutionary pen design. I know many of you will say, "Well, all pens look like this." Well, they didn't always look

THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there! Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. I’m Doug, and I’m back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today, we’re resurrecting a 1941 Parker Duofold Vacumatic. This pen is often called a Duovac by collectors. The original Duofold was discontinued in 1933 when Parker introduced the first generation of Vacumatic pens. However, in 1940, they revived the Duofold name and introduced the Vacumatic Duofold. This pen was produced from 1940 to 1948, when all

THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there. Welcome to my channel. My name is Doug, and I'm back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. I discussed this pen at the start of last Sunday’s review of the 1944 Azure Blue Pearl Vacumatic. I had many questions about it, which I planned to address last week, but postponed to seek answers from various Parker Vacumatic experts online. While I received some intriguing responses, the pen remains largely a mystery. One unusual aspect is the cap

THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there. Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I'm back with another pen Resurrection Sunday video. Happy 2026 to everyone out there in Inkquiring Minds land! On the slab today, two dead fountain pens await resurrection. I’ll only restore one, but I have two because I was planning to restore this 1947 Parker Vacumatic third-generation in Golden Pearl. I was going to restore this one, but it’s so unusual. I’ve posted some questions online to

THIS PEN HAS BEEN SOLD! Hello there! Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I’m back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today’s featured fountain pen on the slab, ready for resurrection, is a 1 942 Parker Vacumatic third-generation in emerald pearl. This is a debutant model, specifically the senior debutant model. It was the first year of the newly redesigned third generation, featuring a rounded blind cap plastic plunger rod, and a split arrow clip with

Hello everyone! Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. I’m Doug, and I’m back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today’s pen on the slab is ready for a resurrection: a 1950-1960 Conway Stewart 58. This model is famous as the Indiana Jones pen because it was featured in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, starring Sean Connery. A scene in the movie involved a fountain pen playing a crucial role in the plot, and this very pen was used. The Conway Stewart 58 was manuf

Hello there. Welcome to Inkquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I'm back with another pen resurrection Sunday video. Today on the slab, the dead fountain pen ready for resurrection is this 1933 Waterman's number three fountain pen in celluloid called Black Pearl. I found this in a 1933 catalog from Waterman's. And this pen was made in the US. This is a medium-sized fountain pen. Here it is with a Pilot Metro, so it's slightly smaller than a Metro and slightly larger when it's

THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there. Welcome to Ink Inquiring Minds. My name is Doug, and I'm back with another Pen Resurrection Sunday video. Today's pen, dead on the slab, ready for resurrection, is this 1940 Parker Dualfold Vacumatic. This is what pen collectors call a Duovac. The original DuoFold was discontinued in 1933 when Parker introduced the first generation of Vacumatic pens. However, they revived the DuoFold name in 1940 and released a slightly modified version of the

THIS PEN HAS SOLD! Hello there! Welcome to my channel. My name is Doug, and I’m back with another fountain pen resurrection Sunday video. Today, I have a very special and old pen to share. It’s a Waterman from 1925, making it 100 years old! I hope we all look this good when we’re 100. I recently found this pen in an antique shop and couldn’t resist it. It’s quite small, measuring about 4 1/2 inches long, or 11 1/2 centimetres, when capped. This is a Waterman 52 1/2 V, as indi

THESE PENS HAVE BEEN SOLD! 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 ta

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

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

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

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

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

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
