Hi, Folks,

 

Thought I would start a thread on these gorgeous recent pens. Let's see yours!

 

This is a Platinum #3776 Cherry Blossom celluloid fountain pen. This 5 1/2 inch long pen uses a Platinum converter or cartridges. The sakura (cherry) pink pattern translucent celluloid cap, barrel and nib section has an organic patchwork wrap featuring small squares or cells. Platinum creates the body components from sheet celluloid which is then dried in house. The gold nib is stamped #3776 over the Platinum logo over 14K. The clip and trim are gold plated. The cap band reads Platinum Japan #3776. This model has been available since at least 2017 and retailed for $450. Made with fine, medium and broad nibs and a matching ballpoint pen. Current retail price is $480.

I have three...Tortoiseshell, Koi, and Calico. I think they're great looking pens. I'm hoping to add the Jade color next...

Hi, Folks,

Great photos! You have some that I haven't seen in person yet!

This is a Platinum #3776 Tortoise celluloid fountain pen. This 5 1/2 inch long pen uses a Platinum converter or cartridges. The bekko (tortoise) pattern translucent celluloid cap, barrel and nib section reminds of the hues of browns, oranges, and whites in the shell of the hawksbill sea turtle, which was hunted for food and its shell almost to extinction. Celluloid has replaced the use of tortoiseshell. Platinum creates the body components from sheet celluloid which is then dried in house. The gold nib is stamped #3776 over the Platinum logo over 14K. The clip and trim are gold plated. The cap band reads Platinum Japan #3776. This model has been available since at least 2010 and retailed for $450 in 2017. Made with fine, medium and broad nibs and a matching ballpoint pen. Current retail price is $480.

Yeah, that pink is fabulous. For me it's not the color (I agree with "And I don't like pink.":-) but the patterns/texture in the celluloid. How do they do that?

Thanks, I love looking at photos of the celluloid pens. Does anyone have a photo of the LE Lapis Blue FP? I searched for it for a few days.

There is some serious eye candy here!

Really lovely pens. I vote for the tortoise.

Just curious, is the one piece barrel lined with a (male) threaded brass sleeve?

This is a 3776 Lapis Blue, but I'm not aware that it is a Limited Edition and it may not be the Lapis you meant.

Hi, Folks,

This is a Platinum #3776 Midnight Ocean or currently named Ocean Blue celluloid fountain pen. This 5 1/2 inch long pen uses a Platinum converter or cartridges. The celluloid cap, barrel and nib section subtle shades of deep blue with flecks of white, reminiscent of the deep ocean surrounding Japan. The rhodium plated gold nib is stamped #3776 over the Platinum logo over 14K over 585. The clip and trim are rhodium plated. The cap band reads Platinum Japan #3776. This model has been available since at least 2017 and retailed for $450. Made with fine, medium and broad nibs and a matching ballpoint pen. Current retail price is $480.

Some pens from the collection.

 

From left to right.

  • Customized makie, late 1990s-early 2000s. i've seen a few of these in different designs. Seem to be the same artist.
  • 17th Tokyo Pen Trading - Wagner club - SF nib that is very soft. Look closely for the sparkles in the plastic.
  • Eight sided blue celluloid. Supposedly made to order. M nib that is incredibly smooth.

More tomorrow.

      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
