A BCHR # 2 S for Stub but a hard to find Button Filler

 

Lastly My Mottled Red Hard Rubber , relief # 1 with Red Top Band a Stubby nib#1 , very nice Box, with papers

Aw, c'mon Tom. I have the 6 J colors and 2 transitionals, and don't need further encouragement!

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

I'm very fond of the RMHR examples, very nice. Need to get me one of those some day.

 

Here's a Relief you don't see every day, a 22L ring-top. Though not pictured, I have the original box. The pen is in really nice condition.

Hadn't seen this color before, so bought it despite the slight cap issue.

Too bad it has a cap isuse

Consider a full black cap when available or

 

Have single color cap lip perhaps with a band to enjoy the pen

 

These are so rare, I would have bought it also

Good Luck

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! I have a fond place in my heart Dorn Esterbrook’s 314 Relief Pens.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
