Full Version: Brand New Visconti Van Gogh Medium Too Big for Wife
The Fountain Pen Network > Regional Focus > Penne Stilografiche della Bella Italia

Although I don't own a Visconti I bought the last of Pam Braun's Van Gogh Midi Vanilla's with a really smooth Medium for the CEO her at home. She's new to FP's and really does have a small hand. Well....before even writing with it it is apparent it is too big for her hand...but yet...too small for my big mit. Tomorrow I'll take pics and hope I can trade for a Maxi...I really like this pen headsmack.gif . Guess I'll stop buying for her since she's happy with the 2 she has...

am i missing something? i put the vanilla van gogh with the 14k gold nib in the Marketplace for what i'd paid for it last week from Pam Braun. i've been surprised to have had no action. if it wasn't a "girly color" smile.gif, and a little small for me i would have kept it myself. in fact i've be a maxi in cappuccino coming from pam and am excited to get it.

was there something inherently wrong with this pen/color? since its a model that's out of production i'd have thought it would have been gobbled up.

i'm not desperate to sell it....just curious.

Dunno. I've got the Vanilla Maxi and find it soothing.

Randy: Here is what I think, You need better lighting in the pictures. The richness of the color and material does not come through. I bought one of these and it was because I saw the lustrous ivory and caramel tones. The lighting makes the pen look taupe/beige.

You're absolutely right but i do not have the equipment to provide the high quality pics so often seen here. Anyone with vanilla midi images please contact me if i can add them.
