I like the paws.

 

The amber 267 is beautiful. Been considering one myself.

At least you've solved the riddle of how the paw prints got on the nib in the first place. Those are great, but now I need a roll-stopper for my laughter.

Where did you find those roll stops? They are great but I like options 1-3 the best and could see buying one of them.

Driften, these are inexpensive adjustable rings found on eBay. Search terms are cat, wrap ring, adjustable.

I like the paws, but the art deco even more. I have a fox that's a lot like your literal cat, and I don't like the head sticking out so much. In the end. When I first saw the picture, of course it spoke to me, and I bought it. I had it on a pen for a while. It's now resting, waiting for me to change my mind again.

Turns out I like rollstoppers that really hug the cap. Who knew?

My vote was for "Art Deco Cat" -- most of the others looked like overkill (it's the same reaction I have to the Ariel Kulloch Fantasy 51s: while I admire the artistry, it is sort of the antithesis of the understated look of the pen).

OTOH, I really like the paws, with the art deco cat being second. The paws are a wonderful play on cat behavior - "it's mine, and I am going to grab it!"

Sharon, Ruth, excellent pointts. The Cartoon Paws ring grips very well, and I agree Art Deco is subtle. Art Deco seems to be winning here and on Facebook and Instagram. Few votes for the Tom & Jerry stoppers, but they tell a fun story. I enjoy no. 5.

Thank you for this response. I just spent 20 minutes looking for adjustable dragonflies for my own pens!

Sharon, a dragonfly sounds beautiful. Also Etsy is an option. Usually higher end, but sterling silver for under $20. this shop, which also has an eBay account as seller yassenl, is excellent. But cheaper to order direct from the site than through eBay.

I love Art Deco. It has a classy, yet understated look about it.

I absolutely love the Art Deco look!!! Even though I previously commented, after taking another look, I still like that Art Deco cat!

      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
