Info appreciated!
Sorry nothing specific but some tips (based on friends who have had similar situations with watches, clocks, fountain pens, and other items. Internet search, do a broad search and then narrow it. Local antique deals such a antique stores in Wildwood and surrounding towns, and talking to those who run antique booths at Renninger's in Mt. Dora, as well as many others in the villages area. And one additional, try searching Facebook pen or fountain pen collectors groups and ask for leads.
