Eversharp 18 K Stub Nib Picture


J-F-O

Recommended Posts

I recently acquired a W/E Tulip clip pen from France. It has an 18k gold stub nib. I know that in France to be named gold, it has to have be 18k. However, how common is this with a stub nib?

This pen's nib probably is rare, as I have never seen an eversharp with a stub nib. I'm envy you, this pen is like my dream pen. It has a lapis blue color, an 18k stub nib, and it's made by Eversharp!!! Do you mind me asking how much you paid, now that I know such a pen exists I will keep my eyes peeled till' another comes on to the market.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

I paid $150 for the pen on an online auction site. The description was in french only ( I'm french speaking which helps) and the only thing that got my attention apart from my interest in tulip clip W/E pens, was the mention of an 18k gold nib. the only picture I had to go on was a very blurry one attached. From it I thought the tines were bent outwards and I thought it was perhaps a replacement local nib.

 

I guess I was lucky on this one.

Congrats! A rare nib on a rare pen! I'm envious too. What a deal! I have seen only one other stub nib from WE. It is a Gold Seal Stub on a Gold Seal Personal Point Rhomboid Decoband.

That is a really, really nice nib. If you have an elegant signature, this is for you. If you do not have an elegant signature, this nib will encourage you to develop one.

If I had seen that listing I would have first wet myself then gone into full Buy It Now Ninja mode. :ninja:

 

I have a factory Wahl stub but it's just a lowly 14k.

Should it not have been the other way round i.e. BIN Ninja Mode first? Cos, I would have BINed it before you. ;-)

Not if it wasn't offered with a BIN you wouldn't have...

 

The wetting part would have been reflexial.

Hi everyone,

 

I've decided to sell this rare pen.

 

I'll be posting it on the marketplace later this weekend.

 

Regards

Nice...one of the first pens I bought was a Doric set in Kashmir, with an 18k Fine nib. A really nice writer.

It's a really beautiful pen. And way beyond my budget at the moment.... :bawl:

Hello may I ask you JFO why you are selling this pen (probably already done so)? After reading your initial post, I began looking out for one here in France, but perhaps I should stop doing so; but I do enjoy stub nibs. Are these really good stubs, or have you been disappointed?

I notice in other posts most FPN users prefer 14k nibs, which tend to be more flexible.

Best regards

Appears to be still for sale. I'm not a buyer as the shipping is way to high for me.

      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
