Pif: Creeks By Stypen

[escribo]

Hey,

 

I shall be giving away four (4) Creeks, or Creeks N' Creeks fountain pens by Stypen, assuming there is sufficient interest.

 

Here is a thread showing what the pen looks like and a little info on it. I have nothing to do with the original post or the thread--I just found it by searching here at FPN.

 

The pen is quite small, 4 3/4" capped, and takes small int'l cartridges only. I just looked, and a bag o' carts can be had on Ebay for a couple of bucks or so.

I just now dipped one of these pens in Diamine Earth Brown mixable ink, and found the nib to be a western fine (my estimate) and buttery smooth on Rhodia dot pad paper. Dipped another of the pens in Waterman black with the same result.

The pen looks rather cheap and is emblazoned with a shiny gold-colored imprint "Creeks Quality." Promotional pens, evidently.

But the nib is the thing here--it's a well-performing gold-colored #5 (I believe) steel nib. Appropriate for a beginner who will receive a nicely-writing pen instead of a problem, a tinkerer who might just want to cannibalize the pen for the nib, or you name it. (I'm one of the tinkerers--I have more of these which I am keeping ).

All of the above descriptions and results are correct to the best of my knowledge.

 

The deal:

I'm giving away four of these, one to each of four recipients.

I'm handling the shipping charges.

North America only (USA, Mexico, and Canada).

I'm letting this run until Monday March 20, 2017, Noon central US time (the deadline).

After the deadline, four recipients will be chosen using random.org

Recipients will be announced here in this thread and via private message.

I will send the pens out as quickly as I can after this PIF ends.

After the noon March 20 deadline, pens not spoken for will be given to the first "I'll take it(s)" I receive.

 

Good luck.

I had one of those in junior high in France but no longer have most of these old pens after I moved to California. Please count me in as there is nostalgia factored in for me.

Thank you!
