12, The Easy Writer,

Recommended Posts

Trademark no. 08790, Esterbrook Steel Pen Mfg. Co., "Metallic Pens", Oct 25, 1881, used since 1874, is for the name "Easy Writer" and the number "130". Trademark no. 09536, Le Roy W. Fairchild, "Fountain-Pens", July 11, 1882, used since 1882, is for an image of a fountain pen with the name "Ready Writer" stamped on it, a name taken from Psalm 45:1. Also see US patent no. 8,977, and UK patent no. 2,978 in 1859. This US trademark, the first for a fountain pen, didn't appear until 1882, when the fountain pen business was just starting to take off and become competitive and a going concern, and while they were still just trying to figure out mass marketing, and how advertizing was done, and how to be modern. Later, in the early 1900s, Ormiston & Glass also had a stylo called the "Ready Writer". Trademark no. 45856, Charles E. Browning, "Fountain-Pens", Aug 29, 1905, used since June 28, 1892, is for the word "Rapid Writer". Trademark no. 09509, Benjamin Lawrence, "Steel Pens", July 4, 1882, used since May 1, 1882, is for the name "Expeditious Writer", but it's not quite as catchy as the other names. ;~)

      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
