Great "combo"! I will buy an IPad Pro soon. How do you like it? Did you also purchase the keyboard?

I wish I had spoken to ya before you spent all that money on that iPad stylus. It is nice looking. No doubt about it. But the price is ridiculous. That's no insult to you. Most people that buy an MB stylus have no idea of much cheaper and better some of them are.

 

The one on the bottom isn't as good as the MB. but it does things that the MB can't. The company is named 53.

The next one is an Adonit mini. It does exactly what the MB does at a fraction of the price.

The next one up is called Bamboo. The MB is much nicer.

The next one up is the Adonit jot pro. It does the Same as the MB. Also at a fraction of the price

The one on top is the Adonit jot Script. It has an entirely different stylus. You can write with this one like you writing with a fine nib.

This one blows the MB out of the water, at about half the price

No worries at all. I knew that there were many options when I purchased this MB, just like when I purchase any of my pens. My thought was that the Apple pencil would be the best stylus by far, since it was specifically designed for the device. I knew that the pencil was considerably cheaper when I did not purchase it.

 

My thoughts were that I never needed a stylus for an iPad and the MB would simply be for the note writing experience.

 

I ordered an art fineliner and capless rollerball refill which fits in this pen, so the M will actually serve a dual purpose when I am not using it for the iPad.

I didn't mean to be rude but I do think my post was in poor taste. More than anything, I think I was trying to brag on my styluses. That's pretty tacky. I apologize.

I just received a Celluloid 146 that's about as mint as they come. Unfortunately, the piston seal did not make it through the years quite as well as the rest of the pen. If it wasn't so pristine, I'd tackle the repair myself, but I feel that I have to send it out to an expert.

Hey hkwinger. Thanx, I accidentally directed my original comment to A1979. That's what happens when you're not paying attention. Hey A 1979 I hope you weren't annoyed by my brain fart. Hopefully, you just got a chuckle out of it

My last MB purchase is a Pix 72/2 mechanical pencil from 1937-1941 which comes in its original and well preserved box (1939-1942) and a booklet in Hungarian.

Got these two today: 100 years Solitaire mammoth in red gold and white gold - both are spectacular :D

Those look great, Axis! I've never seen that pattern of the MB star on the body and cap! Thanks for sharing.

@idazle: very nice find; it's great to have those old pens still with original box and papers. Has it been used?

 

@Axis: indeed: spectacular!

 

Thanks for showing.

Cheers

      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
