I find this one from Paul Hoban's book to be useful in that it categorizes them by nib size as well.

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

What about the 3000 and 8000 series of nibs?

Thanks...

Why put it in numerical order.....Original works fine..Folks will think 'tis as Esterbrook did..No point

to mess with what the company put out...Of course this is my personal opinion...Yours will vary...

if it has not already..............

Each of the views has value for a different usage scenario. In numerical order is useful if you are looking at purchasing a pen online and the description says it has a #2450 nib and you have no idea what kind of nib that is.

 

The chart in Paul's book is great if you're looking for a nib for the kind of writing experience you like.

Hey Gloucesterman -- the 8000 series are a personal obsession of mine... they don't seem to be in any nib chart or advertisement I can find with some rare exceptions -- check out my post here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/328253-esterbrook-palladium-silver-8000-series-nibs-in-advertising/

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
