Pete,

 

The Edison is impressive!.... There is a post on Edison in Pen History (Brian A. has a nice hexagonal Edison RMHR).

 

I presume that the pens you got were from the Irving Goldman collection!... Very nice!!!

This give even more "value" to your catches.You did very well. Most of Goldman's pens were sold in 2003 and this last sale were the leftovers but what great leftovers!...

Very true. To my benefit the live auction was being held near me in Beverly Hills. I went to the auction house office and previewed 10 or 12 lots that caught my fancy. I then settled on 6 that I bid on and eventually came away winning 3 lots.

 

I found the old 2003 listing and saw all these pens I won. They hadn't met their reserve at the time.

Congratulations on the new additions. That must've been some collection originally.

      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
