Pens From My Workshop - Dressler Pen Company

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

 

I would love to share some of my new creations with all of you! Let me introduce myself. I'm Mark Dressler and I recently made the leap into the pen making world with the launch of the Dressler Pen Company! I have been a fountain pen collector and member of FPN for many years now but just now getting active in the pen community and forum. I would love it for you to take a look and let me know what you think of my first wave of pens. I will have some different models available soon so keep any eye out! I look forward to posting more and getting to know some of you!

European Style (Pneumatic Filler) in Black ebonite w/Red acrylic filler knob

Inspired by some of my favorite wartime European pens when metal (cap and barrel bands) had to be used sparingly due to wartime production needs.

They look good. Those thick grips paired with the smaller nibs do look unusual, but I imagine they will be very comfortable for people who like a thick grip but like to hold the pen close to the tip. I assume those are C/C pens?

Thanks for your reply! I will try to answer all your questions here and feel free to ask more!

I use Bock #6 nibs on all my pens as my standard nib but I think my camera angle on my photos might be making them look a bit smaller than they actually are. You are right though.......my first wave of pens are all on the med/large side. They measure about 14mm at the threads and the widest point of my sections are just over 13mm. They are just a bit narrower than a Delta Dolce Vita Mid-Size if you are familiar with that pen. I just finalized a slimmer size that is just over 13mm at the threads and a bit over 12mm at the widest point of the section. I will attach pictures with a different angle of my pens to give a better perspective, in my opinion, of the actual nib size. They are all C/C pens except for the pneumatic filler.

The top two pens are of the same measurments but with different size nibs. The top has a Bock #8 and the middle pen has a Bock #6. The pen on the bottom is my slimmer option also with a Bock #6 nib.

I do like the dark blue cigar one, and have your site bookmarked already ;)

 

Thank you! It's a beautiful material to say the least!

Oh, I see, those pens are larger than I realised then! Perhaps you could try photographing them next to something for scale? Some coins perhaps?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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
