Platinum 3776 + Century Photo Thread

[PenHero]

Hi, Folks!

 

Thought I would start a photo thread on the Platinum 3776 Century. Please show yours!

This is a Platinum 3776 Century Chenonceau White cartridge / converter fountain pen. This currently available model is about 5 1/2 inches long and features a 14 karat gold nib. The name and the color are inspired by the Chateau de Chenonceau in the Loire Valley in France. The cap and barrel are made from a solid white resin and the trim is gold plated. The cap has Platinum’s innovative “Slip & Seal" technology, which is designed to prevent ink from drying out for up to 24 months. Available nibs are ultra extra fine, extra fine, fine, soft fine, medium, broad and double broad. The “#3776” series was named after the height of Mt. Fuji, the highest peak in Japan. Current retail price is $220.

Sai references one of the five lakes near Mount Fuji in Japan. The faceted clear cap and barrel symbolize the illusion of clear water rippling in a lake. Note the image of Mt. Fuji on the clear part of the converter. Only 3000 fountain pens were produced. The trim is rhodium plated. The cap has Platinum’s innovative “Slip & Seal" technology, which is designed to prevent ink from drying out for up to 24 months. The “#3776” series was named after the height of Mt. Fuji, the highest peak in Japan. Current retail price is $270.

Very neat. Do the older 3776 models with the gold ring still have the slip and seal inner cap?

Based on this video, it appears that it was first applied to the #3776 when it was redesigned c. 2012.

Only models called "Century" within the 3776 line have the slip & seal.

(Plus the Preppy, Prefounte and Plaisir.)
