Granted, it will never happen. But what would it look like if major pen manufacturers came together to design a pen?

 

For me, I would love to see a collaboration between Conway Stewart and Montblanc. I love CS's vintage pen designs along and Montblanc's classic image. Heck, it would be fun to throw some elements of Pelikan in there as well! I could envision a pen that may have CS's lever-filler, MB's vintage high-top cap, and a Pelikan striped body. B)

 

If you could have your choice of two or three pen companies putting their heads together and designing a pen, who would they be? What would the pen look like?

pelikan and pilot. Love to see an ebonite pelikan M800 body in urushi, with a piston filler, and Pilot's FA nib. A man can dream:)

 

or pelikan and omas - a pelikan M800 made of celluloid, with its extra flessible nib.

Sounds very much like a vistulated Sheaffer Balance.

True.

 

I guess MB, CS, and Pelikan produce the Sheaffer Balance. :lol:

It would be an Onoto from the Dickens or Magna range with a TWSBI piston filler and an optional Delta Fusion 1.1 stub. Just to join in the mixing, the Chuzzlewit with 14 k 1.1 stub is ok as it is already ;-)

Why wait for a manufacturer to do it?

 

Get yourself a lathe and produce the pens they should be making.

Richard.

 

Good point, Richard! Sounds fun. ;)

Or head over to the pen turning forum and you can find someone who could make most of these suggestions.

Another dream - A Namiki Bamboo (Rhodium preferably) with a Sheaffer inlaid nib, a pull-off cap (to do away with the step from the barrel to the section).

 

the original design called for an inlaid nib.......

rotring and Lamy I think they would be an excellent pairing and would serve the design oriented side of the hobby well. It would be amazing to see a macralon rotring 600.

I want a preppy with Lamy's nib and feed.

 

a piston filler 3776 century with noodler's ebonite feed sounds wonderful.

Sheaffer and Parker -- a snorkel filled "51"

 

But, the actual "51" is already pretty good about dealing with low levels of ink in the bottle

      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
