Pendantic Near Mint

I am keenly awaiting delivery of a 'new old stock' William Faulkner Writers Edition fountain pen with a medium nib. I have always admired this pen, and hope it will play nicely with my F Scott Fitzgerald, GB Shaw and Mann fountain pens. I just need to decide what ink to use in it...perhaps MB Toffee Brown?

I bought a used, but near mint, Faulkner a few years ago -- lovely pen -- and I paired it with the Toffee Brown. Perfect combination. Enjoy!

I have a Yellow Gold trimmed O3B 149 on the way, also inspired by Tom Kellie. I've been into broader nibs for a while, and a Pilot Custom 74 Cosu is my current broadest. Really excited to see what the Oblique nib does to my writing.

Toll, many thanks for your reply, my Faulkner arrived this morning. What a beautiful pen, and I am sure that Toffee Brown ink will suit it well!

This is my order received last week:

The Royal Blue is not from this order, I received it as a gift from my local reseller. The Barbados Blue ballpoint refill is more green than turquoise...

I'm currently using the Royal Blue in my 149 and foreseen to try the Shakespeare in my Leonardo and the JFK in my JFK and the Miles Davis in my future Miles Davis when my reseller will receive it.

Just received a beautiful green striated 146 with an OBB nib. There's a little brown discoloration on the barrel, but otherwise it's perfect. Photos later.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Congratulations. Those are beautiful pens. I think thr nib sounds fantastic. I look forward to a writing sample. Remember, these celluloid pens will eventually become dust so be sure to use it!

OK, this is not technically an MB, but it is at least a close cousin. It just came in the post today from another member here who was kind enough to remember my fondness for Brad's work.

My latest is a 146 fluted (or lined) sterling Solitaire. It seems to be from 1989-1990 (brass piston threads, 14k two-tone nib, non-striated grey window, W. Germany on clip--and no serial number).

 

Can anyone tell me when MB started and stopped making this model?

 

Thanks,

Daniel

After a long wait my reseller has finally received the Miles Davis 1926 fountain pen. I will take some photo soon that I will post. I take also the Unicef pencil case that my reseller kindly offered me it.

 

A quick photo of the pencil case and of the fountain pen. I will post more photo of the Miles Davis is my other post:

      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
