Vacuum Tortoise And A Paint Brush

[Newton Pens]

Made up with the last bit of tortoise celluloid that I had, a vac 700 filler unit, and an old Waterman emblem nib.

Big pen.

Re the tortoise vac: working on a full review, but loving it so far.

I can't wait to see it.

lovely pens indeed

Okay - so last night I got to play with a couple of Visconti's Opera pens, the Crystal and the Opera Master or Club... ? I dunno which it was. It was colored exactly like these two - http://www.webklik.nl/user_files/2012_02/363993/products_main5632.jpg

Except the blue one was longer and had standard threads instead of the push click thing.

These pens are BIG. I thought this vac pump pen I made was big. No no no.

Were the pens made from the same resins (two tone blue swirl and clear with no pattern) as the pictured mosquito fillers? If so they were probably Opera Clubs.

If you want to see a *big* plunger/vacuum filler check out the Opera Master Demo. Ink capacity is prodigious.
