Today I received 30 vintage Indian pens from Pune Based collector Dr. Madhav Paranjape for Rs 2500/-. This celluloid Vintage Wilson from that set is modeled after older Parker Vaccumatic models, but is of eyedropper filled type. I did a primary hand polish of the body with Grit 12000 and Waxpol and cleaned the clip and the cap-band with brasso. Later, these metal parts would need re-plating and the celluloid would need a round of soft cloth buffing. I like the herringbone pattern on the body. At about 45+ years, this is a reasonably well preserved pen. The seller has replaced the nib with an "Ambitious" nib, wonder if Wilson nibs are available any more.
