My growing Esterbrook collection. I came into a couple of little goodies lately. The Visumaster continues to elude me...

 

This is a UK made M2 with a 14K relief nib

And I finally got the red one.

Those pens don't even look used.

So, all you need is the green jewel Nurse's pen to complete the set?

Nice going. What's the nib on the red jeweled one?

Probably whatever he wants it to be, after scoring on the box of Esterbrook nibs.

Baptiste knew how to make a short job long

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

Well, the two Doctor pens each have 3xxx nibs. The black one has a NOS 3668 (although I have sinned and used it.). The red one has a 3556, and I haven't tried it yet. I actually have a few pens that I haven't written with in my box.

I particularly like that red M2 with the 14K Relief nib.

The Dollar pen (and Dollar Fifty here) are shorter but slightly fatter than a Parker 51.

      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

      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
