Testimonials

After restroring a pair of Conway Stewarts that hadn't seen daylight for 30 years:

"Today I received my pen and pencil back from you and I just wanted to ay thank you again. ... They are just like new."

Robert Looker, Manly, N.S.W., July 2010

Following a recent repair:

"I am so delighted you have been able to repair the pens which have sentimental memories. What a pity that people are not writing letters, as the email seems to have taken over. A letter in the letter box is a rarity but my grandson in Australia likes to get my letters, so the pens will be put to good use. Thank you."

Joan Gross, Lower Hutt, New Zealand, June 2010

After a vintage pen purchase:

"The package arrived today with the ink and the two pens. Thank you very much, I am delighted ..."

Andrew Mason, Queensland, March 2010

Another vintage pen purchase:

"My wife grew up in the UK. She pronounced the pen 'wonderful'. I'm afraid the pen is no longer mine!"

Alan Gloeckle, Merrick, NY, U.S.A.

And:

"Just a quick note to say thanks for the Novelli pen. Very handsome pen! Thank you for such a smooth transaction."

Mark Srebnick, Redwood City, CA, U.S.A.

After a nib repair:

"... the nib works as well as the day I bought the pen."

Bob Doyle, Canberra, A.C.T. - January 2010.

After a total restoration of a 1905 Onoto:

"Doesn't make much sense to spend money on a worn out pen but it was my father's 21st birthday present. It reminds me of the axe I have in the shed - it has had two new heads and five new handles but, it is the best axe I've ever had. Thank you very much for a great job."

Bill Tyson, South West Rocks, N.S.W. - December 2009.

After a recent purchase of a vintage pen:

"A few months ago I bought a lovely old Conway Stewart 286 pen from you. I am pleased to be able to tell you that I use it almost every day. It is a real pleasure to use."

Denis Kennelly, Malvern, S.A. - October 2009.

After a vintage pen purchase:

"Perhaps you recognize the pen. It's the Conway Stewart Duro you sold me. It writes beautifully as you can see. I'm still getting used to the flex in the nib. Many thanks, I will enjoy my pen for years to come."

Dominic Frinzi, Arizona, U.S.A.. - September 2009
