I admire your inky artwork! I loved your pen drawings from a few days ago too.

Thank you SNAK. I had a few dried drops of ink left on my pallets, because I use them for painting also. Ink behaves differently than watercolor. A few days ago I decided to use them up for a wash. Now I've decided to add a skyline to it.

The Bexley is filled with Sailor okuyama.

The used inks were, as I remember: Sailor okuyama, doyo, waterman tender purple, absolute brown, Seitz Kreuznach cognac and Pilot iroshizuku yuuyake.

Quiet (ssh, don't tell anyone around here...) Friday at work, so a moment to post pens ! Forgive the cell phone pics, These pens are shiny black.

 

First,

33936309290_61f85c81e6_z.jpg]34320717885_f821f4a868_m.jpg

 

This one was a present from a friend, unusual in my collection because I didn't restore it. It came to me having been restored by Sarj Minhas. Millers are not well-known pens; Danish. From its cap band, one has to think it's related to the Swedish Soenneckens and Towers (also related to Soennecken).

 

And second,

No, I didn't change my perspective, this pen is an all-day cigar of an eyedropper, 6" long capped and 5/8" thick . I bought it in 2008, and it dominates my office pens. Frankly, they won't say so, but I think they're intimidated by it.

Great sketches, samples, pens and photos, everyone!

 

Here, a beautiful Sheaffer Admiral (often erroneously called 'Craftsman 500' because of its "wire" cap band):

Thanks! It's a 1940s model. Purchased from a fellow FPNer who restored it to near-perfect condition.

      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
