Both of 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’m going to do another double-header, just like last week. I’ll be restoring this pen and selling the one I’ve already restored. This is a 1950s Conway Stewart 58, which I affectionately call the Indiana Jones fountain pen. I didn’t sell it because it writes so beautifully, but I’m following Steven Brown’s advice about

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

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.

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 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
