Need Help Identifying Pens From A Lot


antichresis

Recommended Posts

I've asked the seller to send me more photos (and I will post more photos if I get the eventually) but this is the only one we have right now. The seller is not a pen person and so cannot identify. I spot what looks like a Parker IM, a Platinum or Pilot Desk Pen, and Platinum long-short pocket pens, but the rest are unfamiliar.

 

The Long-short pens are the ones that caught my eye and my primary consideration for pursuing this sale, so any comments on quality, maintenance/restoration, specific model number, and other details will be most appreciated. Thanks!

From what I can make out from additional photos just sent to me:

 

The black desk pen is from Pilot. A DPN-70?post-129019-0-19296300-1484271919_thumb.jpg

 

The V-Pen has a broken nib.

The hacked-up black desk pen is a Platinum. Maybe a Carbon desk pen?

The pink desk pen is a Pilot with a fingernail nib. No idea which model or vintage.

The Mickey Mouse-capped pen I'm not even sure is a fountain pen? Has a Tradio-like nib.

The tiny pen that looks like a pink Pilot Birdie was probably a competing model from Sailor?

The cream of the lot. a 22k Platinum long-short pen with a medium nib. Not sure if the gold is plating or the nib material itself. Hopefully the latter.

The other long-short pen is from Sailor.

I just realized that I don't have Sailor cartridges...

Platinum 22k huh... well that is the model number but I can't give exact reference to what style number it had if the cap says 22k then yes that is the Platinum 22K

as for the Sailor pen that looks like the Pilot Birdie it's the Sailor Recruit? however I can't be too sure if that is really the pen's name (given that Sailor made this pen for shops like Daiso I can't say production date on it either)

and the last pocket pen is a ladies' pen huh... hmmm

Thank you! I'll try to post more photos when I get the pens. The links to Estilofilos requires me to disassemble the pen though. We'll see how I manage.. I've always have difficulty disassembling inset nibs.

Update: the pen appears to be a Pentel Stylo. A disposable non-fountain pen that uses a felt/plastic tip.

      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
