baz666 Extremely Rare

Hi MancFrank,

 

Having looked at the ebay listing, I don't think it is the pen I sold.

The sellers ebay ID is not the same as the seller I sold mine to, also the pattern on the cap does not resemble the one I sold.

Looks like they were quite a hit in Taiwan.

Hi guys,

Hoping you can help, I've recently purchased a Newhaven Staff Duofold, number 037, it came with the original box and certificate of authenticity. Unfortunately though it was missing the two other information cards which came with it. Is there any chance somebody could photograph them so that I can have a copy of them? Here's hoping,

Daniel

Interesting - I have a staffer pen, with bag and cards and thank you card to the employee. I don't think the pen is numbered, though think the card says a number, but didn't think it was that rare. Is mine one of the first six then? Will fish it out of safe keeping tomorrow to check... Was considering putting it up for sale, so any extra provenance would be helpful! *Edit - just checked, and mine is number 114 of 175, but don't think the pen itself is numbered, just the card

All the numbered Newhaven staff Duofolds were engraved on the bottom of the barrel.

Hi

 

I know I'm late to this conversation but I only found it today. I was talking to some one who works with in the same office as myself and was talking about my time at parkers and how I had been issued a leavers pen and how it was different from the majority of the leavers pens as mine was not numbered. So I have one of the unnumbered pens.

 

I had be contacted by parkers after I had left and asked to return the pen and it would be issued with something else in its place, when I asked what it was going to be I was told they did not know at that time. this is when I decided not to return my pen, it was only after the factory had completely closed I found out that they had continued to issue the pens but they were now numbered, I was told by a contact I had then that this arrangement was come to after the union had intervened as the leavers gift that they proposed was not an acceptable alternative to the pens we have today.

Joss, yes it did, I have it all. I also have with it the personalised hand written card that was given to me from the factory manager Tim Lamb (these where given to everyone as far as I know). I will take some more photos when I get the chance to.

      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
