Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

The picture is in public domain, I cannot edit the post.

 

I think the dip pen used is a Parker, but it could be Sheaffer, I also read about Eversharp and Esterbrook

 

Not sure.

Don't quote me here, but I think I read somewhere where an Esterbrook Dip-less was used by Kennedy while he was in the White House. I am not so sure about what Johnson used.

Parker 51 Aerometric (F), Sheaffer Snorkel Clipper (PdAg F), Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman (M), red striated Sheaffer Balance Jr. (XF), Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman desk set (M), Reform 1745 (F), Jinhao x450 (M), Parker Vector (F), Pilot 78g (F), Pilot Metropolitan (M), Esterbrook LJ (9555 F), Sheaffer No-Nonsense calligraphy set (F, M, B Italic), Sheaffer School Pen (M), Sheaffer Touchdown Cadet (M), Sheaffer Fineline (341 F), Baoer 388 (F), Wearever lever-filler (M).

They are Esterbrook Dip-Less pens.

Thank you so much!

 

Such a treasure trove for an history buff! I learned that the Emancipation bill was signed by Lincoln with a Blanzy Poure and Co dip pen body, from France.

A company that became Blanzy-Poure-Gilbert then changed name slightly to add Conte and was used by French people, including my family, for generations! Wow!

 

I need to get me one of those dipless Esterbrooks. Well not the ones in the frame. I suspect that this frame is going to end up in the Smithsonian, if it is not there already.

 

The last few pictures, I thought I was back in an episode of Mad Men, oh my!

Attached is a picture of the pens used by Kennedy and Johnson during the "Golden Era of Legislation".

Thank you for the wonderful close up of the legislative signature pen frame.

 

I see that there are some dip pens and fountain pens of that era in the LBJ collection.

 

Are the fountain pens also Esterbrook?

 

Thank you for sharing the LBJ presidential library finds, the White House replica with its mid-century vibe, rocks.

      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
