His Nibs.com update --

Zucker interview

November 20th, 2007

 

There are two new videos up on the homepage

this week. The first is 'What's New --

11/18/2007', which talks about the new Delta

Israel 60th Anniversary series of limited

edition pens (the Celebration version has

already completely sold out); the new

patterns of pen rolls from Lai Yee, including

the new 4-slot version; and a profile of

'DUKE black & white', which looks at a number

of models from that Chinese manufacturer,

with that color scheme (even if black's not a

color!).

 

The second video is of my interview with

Maryann Zucker of Empire Pens and the NY/NJ

Pen Show, conducted on the last day of this

year's show.

 

On the blog...'Holiday cards and the lost art

of letter writing'.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Delta's Israel 60th Anniversary pens

In 1948 the nation of Israel declared

independence and in 2008 Israel celebrates

its 60th anniversary.

 

The Israel60 collection offers 948 fountain

pens with particulars in vermeil (.925

sterling silver gold-plated) featuring the

lateral lever filling system. It offers also

1948 fountain pens and 1948

ballpens/rollerballs, both with trimmings in

sterling silver with aged finish. The

Limited Edition fountain pen features a

converter or cartridge (threaded) filling

system and the rollers are easily convertible

into ball pens.

New pen rolls from Lai Yee

After a number of customers special-ordered a

smaller, 4-slot pen roll from Lai Yee, she

decided to begin to regularly make those as

well as the standard 8-slot version. The

smaller roll is perfect for throwing into a

backpack, purse or briefcase.

 

See those, along with several new patterns,

by following the link below.

On the blog....'Holiday cards and the lost art of letter writing

 

"I've always been a writer. Not just out here

in public, where everyone and anyone can read

me, but privately, in the comfort of my home,

at my desk, or curled up on my my sofa, lap

tray, pens, paper and postage stamps in

place. I am a letter writer. A compulsive

letter writer.

 

It's a compulsion that manifests itself in

the months leading up to Christmas, months

when I haul out my once finely honed Palmer

penmanship - once done with Parker fountain

pen, inkwell and blotters - taught in

grueling detail by the nuns at the French

Catholic school of my childhood. Honed

further still by my mother, whose penchant

for cards, notes, letters and postcards were

unrivaled in our neighborhood. I get it from

her. And her mother and father before her."

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
