Dating For A Visconti Wall Street


redacted

Recommended Posts

Is there any method of dating on Visconti pens in general? I can't seem to find any information on when the Wall Street line was released and it doesn't seem to be on their site anyway.

I think the original LE pens were in the 2002 to 2004 range. Then came the unnumbered, smaller regular Wall Street pens with a metal grip and C/C system. Then again came the unnumbered Wall Street pens that are the same as the original LE power fillers pens without numbers.

 

If I recall, it was a one color per year for the initial release. Blue and 2004 stick in my memory, but not the years of the red, green, or grey.

 

Hope that helps.

Ahh, gotcha. I have a red metal section C/C wall street, but I've been wondering about the date of release/manufacture. I guess it's likely around 2005?

Is it a 14K monotone nib? If so, the date sounds about right. I bought a green one like yours in 2007 and it was not a new release model.

Woops, sorry for the late response. It's a 23k Pd "Dreamtouch" nib, which mostly just feels like an unbelievably soft nib.

I think the PD nibs are much later, maybe in the last 5 years or so. I can't recall when they switched over from gold.

      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
