I was out with my brother and sister and I found these two in a shop in NH. I resaced and used micro mest onthem both and they work very well.The blue one is my first Dollar Pen. It's in excellent shape and with the 2668 nib is super smooth. The other is a copper J. This has a 2284 factory nib and is equally as smooth. I paid about $35 for both. Not a smashing deal, but one I'm very happy with.

Wow, nice grab! I never find stuff like that, but then I don't frequent antique stores much.

Nice find.

Thanks all. Bruce, I just followed my link and clicked on the "little ass pics", it made them into bigger ass pics. I hope it works for you. Orpilorp - The 2284 J has Liberty's Elysium and the 2668 Dollar has de Atramentis Fog Gray.

Yep, I finally saw that if you click on Open Album, THEN a click makes them larger.

The Dollar pen is a nice find.

Oooh. A 2284. I've wanted one of these big stubs for a while. So, I just bought a box of the original Esterbrook #284 "Blackstone" dip nibs. These were often called "signature nibs" because of the smooth, large stub and dramatic line. I can't wait to get the delivery. Have fun!

      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
