Anyone have a good source for Dickinson's Three Candlesticks stationary for United States of America customers? Haven't seen that paper in years -- not since last in Hong Kong.

 

TIA,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

What a blast from the past. Did some cleaning on the weekend and found a boxed set at the back of the shelf. Must be at least 15 years old. What a beautiful sheet of paper. Interested to know if it still exists too.

Looks like Hamelin is making that now.

Can't tell if this is a tip on a U.S. source or not?

 

It's a tip saying that maybe searching for a US source that imports other Hamelin products might also import this Dickenson item. :thumbup:

Well for once it seems that we in the UK have an advantage over our US cousins. This stationery is still widely available in high street stationery stores across the UK.

 

Have you thought about ebay sellers etc?

 

Incidentally, all my pens/nibs really rebel against the surface, and so I have two sets of paper and envelopes at home, doing nothing.

Wow, your pens don't like that paper, huh? Well, good to know!

 

I hadn't thought of eBay. Hmmm...

Nope.... none of my nibs seem to like textured paper at all. They all dry out half way down a sheet. V annoying!

Have you tried putting another sheet of paper under your hand while writting as a 'page protector'. I know that sometimes my pens get balky because of skin oils on the paper.

 

 

just a thought,

I'm only a few years late, but:

I love this paper too, but not at the asking price. Unfortunately I remember a time when I was able to use it as practice paper.

 

 

This link took me to a 3.5 inch by 7.4 inch pad. Does this paper also come in larger sizes?

50 sheets and 20 envelopes landed today! And a bottle of Bilberry.

      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
