I have a few of these in both twist-fill and lever fill. The sections 
(celluloid) simply don't want to budge. I wonder if they were glued in.

It was basically a parts pen, but the 14k nib was nice so I wanted to get it out.  The section was stuck, so I guess burning it off worked too.  :)  So, um..., if you need a nice nib, I have one...

>> I've come across a couple of what seem to be well-made Webster pens, whether marketed by Sears or not.  Each has a piston-like screw assembly at the barrel end, but it doesn't seem to be a piston filler like a Pelikan, for example.  So, I'm looking for information sources or advice on restoring the filling assembly.  The section seems to be a rather standard visulated one with a short sac attached. Any help?  Thanks, Jack
