FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal of paper! Please PM me!<span style='color: #000080'>For Sale:</span> TBA

I'm using 4 everyday pens that I love- trying to decide which I can part with to buy higher quality collectible pens. I'm trying to keep my collection at 100 pens, so when I get a better pen, I have to sell one that I also once considered worthy of my little collection.

 

Parker 15 - fine nib, blue & chrome, 100% dependable always. Small, perfect purse pen!

 

Sheaffer Skripsert 500 - very nice writing pen with a small conical nib, a pleasure to use.

 

Cross matte gray Century- fine gold-plated nib, unknown emblem. I do not care for pens with a company symbol, but this is a small emblem that matches well, and they pen is a wonderful smooth writer.

 

Parker Super 21- extra fine nib. Beautiful pen in tip-top condition, but it has someone else's name on it. It's not a deep inscription, I've thought about trying to rub it out, but it's a really beautiful teal and chrome and I don't want to ruin it.

 

I guess that's a sign of how much I love using fountain pens - that I have trouble deciding which to sell and they are among the least desirable pens I have!

Tonight, I took the red/black M150 with Lamy Coral. I like to imagine the red/black is considered 'frivolous' in staid German business circles, eliciting the odd raised eyebrow.

      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
