Hello everyone :)

I am feeling like watching a movie, andI wanna watch something that has to do with fountain pens, or at least, features them. Does anyone have a title I could look up? :)

42 has a scene with a fp. Of course it is set in 1947.

The opening sequence of Valkylrie has a nice old Mont Blanc...films ABOUT fountain pens.....perhaps you could watch one of the pen show vids on YouTube?

Just watched 'Atonement' on the TV. It is principally a WW2 based film. In an early sequence the 'Hero' (no idea what his real or screen name is) types a love letter to Keira Knightly and signs it with a Conway Stewart 45 which is period, but probably a slightly later product for 1937/8 when the scene was meant to have taken place.

 

Much worse was the use of post war buses for the war scenes, but they looked the part other than lacking the black out screens over the headlights.

      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
