Many pen collectors like to do their own repairs and are quite capable of doing so. However, if you are new to repairing vintage writing instruments, we strongly suggest that you proceed with caution. Start out with some junkers before you launch into restoring that recently acquired oversized Doric. Vintage pens are fragile relics of the past and it becomes more important all the time to try and preserve them in the best way known. If you are the least bit uncertain as to how to proceed with a repair, we recommend contacting a professional pen repair person. |
Pen sac diameters are measured in 64ths of an inch. For example, a #14 size pen sac is 14/64 inch. All straight sacs are made long and can be easily trimmed with scissors to proper length. |

Pen Sacs - Other Uses!Aside from using pen sacs as their intended purpose, they have a few other useful alternative purposes as well! Use a rubber sac to oxidize your sterling silver pens in recessed areas, the Parker 75 sterling cisele pen is a good example. The rubber sac and the gas it produces is a slow way to oxidize sterling silver. This is much easier and controllable than getting the pen completely black with liver of sulfur solution. A #22 sac is a snug fit, but can be worked on around the cap and/or barrel of a 75 FP or RB, easy fit for BP or MP. The #23 1/2N sac slides over the FP & RB easiest, BUT, the neck of the sac has to be trimmed off first so it will fit. The 22 sacs are about 3 inches long, so one on each end of pen fits over FP, RB, BP or MP. The 23 1/2N when cut is only 2.25 inches, so it would take 3 of them to completely cover any instrument, the one in the center would need to be cut open at both ends. While totally non-pen related, the smaller sized sacs, usually #10, #12 and #14 are used by model airplane enthusiasts for fuel tanks! |

SHEAFFER BALLPOINT WIDGETTurn your early Sheaffer
ballpens into
Early Sheaffer ballpoint pens used a large aluminum tube cartridge that was discontinued in the early 1950s. For a short period of time, Sheaffer made brass adaptors so that the current style BP refills could be used. Those ran out years ago and there was no way to retrofit the older Sheaffer Ballpens with a new refill. We now have newly made solid brass Sheaffer BP widgets so you can turn your older BPs into working pens again. Remove the old BP tube cartridge, screw in one of the brass widgets, add a spring in end of barrel and use a current production Sheaffer BP refill. It's that simple! What could be better than using a 1940s vintage BP?
NOTE: Info below on using the Sheaffer widget in a Stratowriter: The old Sheaffer Sratowriter ballpoints are a little trickier to turn into working ballpoints again, but with some minor modification to a current production Sheaffer ballpoint refill, it can be done. The little blue top piece on the top of the current Sheaffer BP refill is just a tad too small and gets hung up in the mechanism of the Stratowriter inside the clicker button. However, the blue flat piece on the previous black plastic style refills works perfectly. If you get a Sheaffer BP widget for your Stratowriter, you will need one of the old black plastic refills with the flat blue top piece. Then, just remember to pull the blue piece off the plastic refill and replace the one on a new metal refill for your Stratowriter. |
