This is not pen related but while trolling for coffee this appeared because I searched for Rich Italian.

 

Bust 18"...now if my math is correct that's a diameter of 6"....22" long. Gosh I would like to see the prospective buyer....Olive Oil comes to mind.

 

It made me chuckle anyway.

Philiman 200 or are they 100....

 

but seller states 'don't know much about pens'...that sure is the truth.

Wonder what his reserve is....

Shucks...

 

Look up your nearest Engineering workshop and give them a call. Ask if they have any cutter clear cases they throw in the bin that you could collect for your pens...it's the same thing.

 

That's how I store all my odd pens,

When IT sounds too good to be true it often is.

 

Very tempting BIN price, 0 Feedback, 5 days auction, very little description...one to steer well clear of.

 

we also have our very own version of NY Monty here in the UK whose Waterman prices are always sky high.

In the dark.

I'm guessing it is a black Phileas with some carts. BIN price a lot better than the previous item, but there you have to pay for the tutorial in history.

 

Happy 2014, Force (and the rest of the gang, ofcourse)

How can you tell? Is there actually a pen in either of those photos? Do ebay sellers assume there are idiots out there who would buy a pig in a poke?

I said I was guessing. From the shape I would say it was a fountainpen. and a Phileas or Kultur. Judging this pic is something like looking at X-ray photos.

The discernible features point to Phileas rather than Kultur.

And yes Force, the colour could be blue also.

 

Sometimes you get a good buy on items like these as many pepole would skip this item ...

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
