Oh!!!!!!!! Is it really that wonderful colour? Binder's examples don't show anything like that.

That's a Shadow Wave in green. If you look on Richard Binder's Vacumatic page you will see it listed at the bottom with the rest of the Vac Jr. colors.

 

It's a nice set, especially at that price.

Yes, that's where I looked, but I guess the sellers photos colour balance may be out a bit. Binder's green looks more grassy, this one looks almost teal. Someone will get a bargain - maybe.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

It's a feature, a rare "Porthole Demonstrator"!!!!!

:lticaptd:

It is a lovely set, otherwise, though, isn't it? That color is really wonderful. Hmm. Maybe I should bid.... Naah, what would I do with a mechanical pencil that I can't already do with a Berol Turquoise (especially after a friend "dumpster dived" and gave me a bunch of packages of replacement leads in various hardness ratings; those will probably take me a good ten to twenty years to use up, since I had just gotten a package of 2H leads recently in an art store).

Just been watching this pen set sell for $119. Anyone here get it? Hope so. It got too dear for me a while ago factoring in eBay's Global Shipping cash grab and mailing cost. I asked the seller if she'd ship directly to me - she wouldn't. Enjoy it wherever you are!

      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
