Here Comes The Paint Brush!

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

Check out this paint brush, 1.8mm smooth stub retip to a brown areometric. Talk about a paint brush. In fact, my suggestion is that if you would like one of these lovely retips, best to use an areometric pen, as the vacumatic pens hold less ink and believe me, this nib consumes ink like a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado 8.2 liter V-8!

Paintbrush indeed, but that's a another beautiful retipping job. I'm sure that in the right hand, it will produce wonderful things.

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

Gorgeous pen, does it have a brown cap jewel? The nib is a work of art, you are on my short list.

 

Ah, the '71 Eldo. If I remember correctly, about 500 cubic inches with 16 valves, about 350 hp, and a very, very smooth Cadillac ride.

I helped index the the 1940 US census

Thank you! This is an areometric, so no cap jewel.

 

Yes, 500 cubic inches and 16 valves. very smooth. Some are still around here in California as I see one about once a month on the road.

Lots of ink! And most hands, even unpracticed hands, this nibs is a dream to write with.

Have to disagree with two statements you made..

1 A properly restored Vacumatic with a correct length breather tube holds MORE ink than an Aerometric 51....

2 The cap on Parker 51 pens have jewels.....

Thanks for the info! Do you have a photo of an areometric with a double jewel; would love to see one, and learn something!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
