His Nibs.com update --

Camlin retractable

January 6th, 2009

 

Greetings all,

 

This first update of 2009 ushers in the

incredible disappearing/reappearing

nib....better known as the Camlin retractable

from India.

 

Speaking of retractable pens, it reminds me

that it's been a while since I've mentioned

the Monteverde Diva. So, let me mention the

Monteverde Diva!

 

We were hit pretty hard this holiday season

in the ink department, but just received a

large restocking order from Private Reserve.

Beautiful Libraries.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!

Camlin retractable fountain pens

The Camlin retractable fountain pen from

India is a conversation starter the moment

you take it out in public. The fun starts

when you remove the cap to

reveal....well....nothing! Not

unlike the

Monteverde DIVA in design, it's a bit more

conventional in it's appearance.

 

It's a slightly undersized pen that travels

easily in pocket, purse or organizer,

measuring 5" capped, 3-1/4" retracted, 4-1/2"

with nib extended, and a full 5-3/8" with the

cap posted.

 

The design of the pen hearkens back to the

turn of the last century, when safety

fountain pens with retractable nibs were all

the rage. Actual safety pens filled and

sealed quite differently, but the retracting

nib remains in the Camlin.

Monteverde DIVA

As the His Nibs.com website continues to

expand over the years, it becomes easier and

easier to lose track of pen models that

aren't currently on the homepage. So, it

behooves me to reintroduce older

models from time to time. As we're featuring

a new retractable pen in the Camlin, what

better time to remind people of a retractable

pen that's been around for quite some time now.

 

From Monteverde's sales literature: "A truly

creative design, the "Lipstick pen",

available as both a fountain pen and

ballpoint, is the World's most unique luxury

writing instrument. The cap is mounted on a

threaded ring and posts for a luxurious look

and feel. Diva's barrel turns with a

technologically advanced mechanism. This

advances the point with an extraordinary 2

stage, telescoping turn, just like the lipstick!"
