Well here is a rank amateur shot of my 360 Wild next to my Galileo. Is one black on white and the other white on black? I dunno but I sorta like them both. They were kind enough to play nicely with the Visconti Wall Street BP for this shot.

Lately I've found myself taken with faceted pens - those are just gorgeous. Nice picks!

I love that material, reminds me of the old Conway Stewart Cracked Ice.

Twin sons of different mothers...wasn't that the title of a Fogelberg album?

What a wonderful celluloid material; many thanks for the comparison image. Now you still need the Urbano ... thumbup.gif

The Galileo and Urbano material has black pieces floating around in white material while the Wild has thinner white veins and much more black. What do you think?

Michael


From my memory (I don't have a Galileo) the material did look differently; on your image they look like it's the same material, so thanks for comparing.

I guess that's the fun with celluloid pens - each can turn out differently.

Well, if you get a hot lead on an Urbano I would appreciate a heads up. Definitely one that is on my "to find" list.

The Galileo, Urbano, and 360 Wild all use the same celluloid. Any differences are probably due to normal variations in the material, or due to the fact that the 360 is larger and has fewer facets, so the material may show differently...

Here is a picture of my Wild:

Actually, it really was Dan Fogelberg. It's an album from 1978 with Tim Weisberg.
