I noticed that in the previous post the photo only showed 4 pens until you clicked to enlarge it. Hopefully this will show them all.The final addition, also from GWeimer, the black one with a 9668 nib writes as well as do all the others. The Joker is wild???

 

Edit...

Finally got the photo properly cropped.

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

They all measure 0.46" barrel diameter and length 5.03" +/- 0.02". I'm assuming that variation is within tolerance, so I believe they are all Js. I suppose end jewel size could be the cause of the variation, or maybe threading on the cap and/or barrel.

Call it what you will, it's not a "color set" without the black one. Very nice group. What's next, icicles, pastels .... ?

My intention is to stop here, Paul. I like the size of the Js, and want to feel comfortable using all my pens, so the icicles are off my radar even though the *pin stripes* are neat. Pastels just don't attract me.

 

I missed a transitional early on because I thought it was missing the jewel on the barrel. Hah!

Must be a white imprint? My old neighbor retired from Bell, and even he doesn't have one!

Yep, me too. Thought it was a "marriage" of a Dollar pen with J-pen cap ... till I saw the second one.

 

Stopping here, eh? No disrespect, but I've heard that/said that before. :lol: Let us know when you've added the next one that you "just couldn't resist".

It is possible. I have not purchased an Easterbrook in several years.

So, let guess that gives me some lag time.

Never know.

#1 Aug 2013 - green J - 9550

#2 November 2014 - black LJ skunk 2464

#3 January 2016 - red SJ 9450

 

and between #1 and #2 there were two nibs - a 1555 Gregg and Venus Fine.

 

The 2464 is a broad, my 9xxx nibs are both EF, and basically two fines. Guess I am missing something in medium....do I go copper, blue or gray next?

Now you need one of each size, in each color!

I prefer the larger pen size. So it's easy to bypass the smaller Esties.

2 more models, similar size as the J:

- Dollar pen

- Transitional-standard length

 

That would be 12 to 14 more pens.

      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
