Pens To Fit Osmiroid Nibs


heron27

Recommended Posts

hi all! Im a pretty new fountain pen user and today at the thrift store i got ahold of a collection of osmiroid and esterbrook nibs (see photos). Im thrilled but dont really know where to start with them. The Osmiroids are mainly italics and all have a feed attached. I think that theyre set up for the 65 and 75 but wanted to check with you all. Ive been poking around on ebay for those bodies, but are their others youve found that these could fit well with? this is my first time doing anything with pen parts so any other advice would also be great!

The ones that have the threads will fit in all of the Esterbrook pens (I think). Some will fit in Venus pens that have Esterbrook compatible nibs (the ones that screw-in. Of course, as you have noted, they will fit the Osmiroid pens, also with the screw in nibs.

 

The all metal points/nibs are for dip pens and can not be used in fountain pens without major modifications. Oh, and the ones with the closed ends are call "crow's quills" and use a smaller dip pen holder. They write much finer and smaller letters.

 

Osmiroid makes a nice, inexpensive, pen primarily for calligraphy.

 

Nice purchase. Enjoy using them...

The Osmiroid 65 is a sac pen so will need a new one. The 75 is a cartridge pen.

Chinese Osmiroid nibs will not fit an English Osmiroid or an Esterbrook.

 

I have a 6 nib Osmiroid set, and two Esties to use them in.

      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
