Adding you all to roster. I will stop adding names to Roster at 6 AM tomorrow 20 Oct 2019 Pacific Daylight Time and post the roll-off results soon after :)

If you want me to fix that snorkel for you (since it was your wife's), I'll do it for nothing more than the cost of a new section (I can probably get one for under $20). I have all the other restoration parts including point seals, sacs, etc. and can do all that for free, and I'd be much happier seeing it used by its original owner.

 

I'd also be interested in taking the mozart.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

Hi, HB ... added you to the Mozart. My wife definitely wants the Shaeffer to go to a new home. I'll put you down for it just in case you want to keep it, but if you win it and don't want to keep it, i'll do another roll for it :)

Twenty on the roster, that means I get to use my 20-sided dungeon die!

 

First roll, for the MB with broken cap was 14, to Timeline!

Second roll, for the MB Mozart, another 14, to Timeline!

Third roll, for the Snork, was 8, to Sailor Kenshin!

 

Congrats winners. I'll PM you with shipping ideas

As with virtually all vintage Sheaffer pens, this has a wonderful nib.

 

Thanks again.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

I am really impressed! The date of 1952/3 makes sense because my wife got it as a gift when she was in high school at that time, used it once or twice, and then put it away (dirty :) I showed her your results and she is very pleased that this lovely object has a new life!

      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
