Hi Fountain pen friends !

After seeing this beautiful material I really couldn't resist in making a prototype..

What do you think, should Conid launch the next L.E King-size in this material ?

Look forward hearing your opinion !

Regards, Francis

Now we're talking B) The swirling colours remind me of some of the lovely patterns on my vintage UHU pens (which work, thanks to you Francis :notworthy1:), and as for that nib! :puddle: :puddle: What size is it?

 

Great to see the Bulkfiller range being expanded in such a way. Lovely pen Francis. Congratulations.

 

Pavoni.

Oh that's beautiful. Reminds me of a cross between wood grain and chocolate syrup being mixed into a big glass of milk. In a good way, obviously! :lol:

Will it have a flexible Waterman nib? If so, sign me up!

Lovely material, but...

 

... more celluloids please Francis!!!

I surely understand, I'm eager to find celluloid barstock, but unfortunately no success yet.

Celluloid acetate is easier to find, but this is not "the real" stuff…...

Unfortunately this is a nib coming from a pen of my personal collection...

The nibs Waterman used on their "100 year" and "Emblem" pens fit perfectly in the Kingsize.

So if you can source one, no problem !

While not a fan of this stock, I am a huge fan of the idea of more variety in pen materials.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Thanks, I was afraid of that.

Francis, how about an acrylic or celluloid akin to the Omas Lucens (I believe Coneay Stewart had one) - partly transparent and partly opaque. That would eliminate the need for a window, show off some of the mechanism and, above all, look cool as hell!

Too many pens; too little writing.

I thought the next LE would be the new CAISO system Bulkfiller, with Einstein and 100 years of relativity theme? I don't see how this material fits the theme but maybe this would be a separate LE...?

 

Other than that, cappuccino looks nice.

I fully agree, this is stunning celluloid !

CONID would love getting this beautiful celluloid , but I expect Omas will not sell it to a competitor.

Do you - or anyone else - have an idea were we can find this - or other - celluloid bar stock?

We would be very grateful !

Hi Tojusi,

You are fully right, the next LE will be the CAISO version.

However it is not decided yet in which material the CAISO will be made, although Conid would prefer a nice celluloid….

It is neither decided if Conid will start making the Kingsize in the Cappuccino acrylic, so a lot of questions can't be answered right away...

Hi Francis,

 

Great to see that interest in your fabulous pens remains high.

 

Is there to be a production run of Kingsize Demonstrators with the new caiso system soon?

 

Pavoni.

      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
