Yes, it's a couple days, early, but, allow me to get the next one started! If you have something to pass along to another fountain pen lover, please, post it here!

 

ETA: Moderator's Note

 

For those who may not be familiar with Pay it Forward, it's something that has run for the last few years on FPN. Here's the details.

 

 

Got anything you'd like to give away rather than sell? This is the place. Members who have pens or related items they'd like to pass on and give away will have a home here, should they want one. Please remember to state if you're only willing to ship the item within your own country. Members who claim stuff shouldn't feel that they need to have something of their own to pass on immediately, though. Even if it's years later, the magic should still work. It all comes back - eventually!

To start 2013, I would like to Pay It Forward to someone, who is probably not a regular on these boards - a child still in school. My hope is that one of you knows a young writer (or is a young writer), who could benefit from such and would be willing to help me arrange a PiF, through you.

Thank you!

 

Edit: Please send a PM to get in touch with me

I will give this package to the first college or highschool student who responds. This will be international with me paying all shipping costs. What we have here is a bottle of Lamy ink, a Noodlers Ahab flex pen, two black and red notebooks, one Clairefontaine notebook, one Clairefontaine Triomphe A5. Happy New Year!

Wow! Happy New Year! I am not in college, so, no entries for me, but that is a nice gift. I love the black n red notebooks, even if some of my inks are less enthused about it - just a delight to write on. Whoever wins this will be a fortunate person, indeed!

I've got some rubber plugs from McMaster-Carr to give away, for resealing cartridges after re-filling them. I've got a few large ones that should fit Pilot cartridges, while the smaller ones should fit international cartridges.

 

I also have a mouse pad with a nice picture of a Pelikan Souverän on it, if anyone's interested. :)

 

Will ship to anywhere in the world.

Alright, one more pen I need to let go for a reasonable price...free. The only reason I'm giving it away is that it doesn't fit my writing style (too heavy) and I have too many pens at this point. This particular pen is a Conway Stewart "Trafalgar" LE 11/500 limited edition with an 18K gold nib. This pen is absolutely stunning to look at and writes just as good with its medium nib. In flawless condition (minus box). Call me crazy but I would rather give it to a good home than sell it. Go ahead and research this pen...they are rarely for sale.

Now here are the rules: to be eligable, you must have at least one child between the age of 1-18 and not have a pen in your collection valued above 150 dollars. For obvious reasons, If you have the means to spend 300+ on a pen please do not enter this raffle...If you do, St Nibious will surely frown upon you for many years to come:) The first person meeting this criteria to message me after the stroke of Midnight Tonight Central US time will receive pen. I will check after I get back from toasting in the New Year.

 

Happy New Year All!

My friend, that is a very magnanimous gesture on your part. Congratulations in advance to the winner, and good tidings on you for being such a fine person. Happy New Year!

Renfield has won this pen. I guess the eligible fountain pen lovers in the U.S. were either sleeping or partying. lol This pen will be going to my homeland...200 years removed...Ireland.

 

Congrats Renfield!

 

Happy New Years Everyone, My best Wishes to All, Russ

Thanks for being so quick about creating a new PIF thread.

 

I've added the PIF instructions to the first post of this thread so that everyone has an idea of where to start.

 

Happy New Year!

I'd like to give away this Pelikano P480 (M nib) and a matching converter (not pictured):

I'd like it to go to someone who is just beginning to use fountain pens or thinks about beginning and isn't quite convinced yet, ideally a school child.

If you're interested, shoot me a PM and I'll draw a random winner on Sunday. Good luck!

The rules state: " To be eligable, you must have at least one child between the age of 1-18 and not have a pen in your collection valued above 150 dollars."

 

Maybe you were eligable to enter...the amazing thing is, I only had one entry that met the criteria. That being said...who would want to send a PM for a silly pen at the stroke of midnight on New Years. Ah silly me, I will make things more interesting when I give away my 1990 Montblanc 149 that is just too bulky for my tastes. *hint to all*

 

Best Regards, Russ

      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
