Recommended Posts

Just got home from Newport, RI so I finally got a chance to write with my new 136. I have also shown it with my 138, Pelikan 400NN Tortoise and my new Meisterstück Selection pen case. I have included my Instagram and FPGeeks names so as to let you know its me when I post these pictures elsewhere.

Kevin, I'm so glad to see that you have finally received your 136 and are happy with it. I like the pen, the elegant Art Deco fluted clip and the line variation that that wetty oblique nib produces in your hands. It forms a superb set with your 138 and Pelikan 400. Now I want one of those ;-)

Congrats!

Thank you Carlos! The nib is very wet and appears to be one of the early 146 14kt. gold versions. Also, I don't think you'll regret buying a vintage Pelikan.

I just ordered/won my first 149. Started a thread about it and am very excited to receive it and get it inked.

Something completely unexpected....a MB Dostoevsky (no box) from eBay. Wow. I was sure someone would beat my bid, but...nope. Still speechless...

I got this nice MB 72 at a fleamarket recently, it writes smoothly, and is in very good shape

I'm so envious! Lovely pen. :thumbup:

 

I think flea markets where you live are substantially different than the ones where I live. Here, one is quite literally at risk of being flea bitten, and the flea market is more like a very low end garage sale.

Thank you very much.

 

Not all markets here are worth visiting either, and most of the time there aren´t any fountain pens at all, but this guy at the local market told me he had a MB at home, and promised to call when he had found it, after a couple of weeks he called and i went and bought it.

My Heritage 1912 arrived. It's a heavy, modern looking pen.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
