Description: Ten (10) Brand-New Replacement Elastics for Vintage Pen Box Restoration Every collector of vintage pens knows what happens to the elastic cords in vintage pen boxes after 50+ years. They lose their elasticity, stretch out, and no longer hold pens and pencils in place as they should. Replacing the original elastic using plain cord is a real pain, as it is not easy to lace it through the tiny holes in the covering of the pad. These American-made elastics make it easy, though: just like the originals, they come with metal toggles on each end. Lacing them through the holes in the pad is a breeze, and there's no fiddling around with having to tie off the ends. For boxes where the pad is glued down, we recommend using a thin piece of plastic (an old credit card or a guitar pick will work well), inserting it between the pad and the lower half of the box and working it all the way around until the pad comes free. Elastics come in a choice of three colors: black, white, and pink. The black and white elastics are the correct length for pen/pencil sets, and can be shortened for use with single-pen boxes. The pink elastics (for 1950s Parker 51 boxes) are shorter, and two will be required for a box holding both pen and pencil. Payment We are glad to combine shipping charges on multiple purchases, but it is vital that the proper checkout method be used. When buying more than one item, use the Add to Cart button -- NOT the Buy It Now button. View your cart when you are ready to complete the purchase, and if the total shipping charge is incorrect, do NOT pay. Instead, click the Request Total link at the top right and we will send you a corrected invoice. Terms of Sale We strongly believe in full and explicit description of any condition problems or flaws, and in very conservative grading. We stand behind our descriptions -- buy with confidence.
