Vancouver Pen Club---February 2019 meeting info:

Date: Thursday February 21, 2019


Time: 6:00pm to 8:30pm (Don't worry if you're late---we usually start at around 6:30 ;))

Place: The TERRY SALMAN branch of the Vancouver Public Library, located at 4575 Clancy Loranger Way, Vancouver (on the lower level of the Hillcrest Community Center) by Nat Bailey Stadium (near Queen Elizabeth Park). The meeting will take place in their Community Room (meeting room)--same place as before.

No food allowed but covered drinks are ok. There's a little café inside the Community Center and vending machines, if you need to have a snack before the meeting.

Topic: "Tips on looking for and buying vintage pens on eBay" and will feature a short talk on the subject by VPCer René.

Please bring one or two fountain pens that you got on eBay at a bargain price and/or pens that you acquired via eBay but later regretted due to hidden flaws, inaccurate descriptions, etc.

 

If you don't have anything for the topic, don't worry---please come anyway and see what others have brought!

Our secondary topic is always Newest Acquisitions, so if you have any new pens, ink or pen-related accessories (e.g. pen cases), please bring them with you to show. No need to RSVP for any regular meeting not held at a restaurant.

      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

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 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
