Hi, Folks!

 

This is an Eversharp "10,000" Cartridge fountain pen in grey c. 1960-1962. The 5 1/8 inch long fountain pen comes with an inset stainless steel nib marked with the nib grade in a tapered ribbed section. The chrome plated metal slip on cap is unusually short and has a ribbed body color "fedora" cap top feature. The clip has the Eversharp logo and just below on the cap is Eversharp in script. The back of the cap has the Parker logo over MADE IN USA. Advertisements for this model start in the fall of 1960 and continue through 1962. They came in six colors, including black, grey, white, blue, green and red. The ballpoint and pencil were introduced in 1959. The name for the fountain pen derived from the claim that it's cartridge, "America’s largest," could write 10,000 words without refilling. It retailed for $1.98 on a hang card or in a box and included two ink cartridges. By 1962 they were being advertised with an optional 49 cent converter. Marketing and packaging featured the Eversharp name prominently but included Parker.

      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
