They are Technical Pens and good ones. They were for diagrams and architecture etc. They're basically stylographic pens that have to be held straight up. There are graded sections that make lines of different sizes. They can be used with FP inks and even India Ink if they're flushed after you're done using them.

Gift from kids at summer camp.... they found time to go shopping for mom.

 

They left on the price tag and used my credit card too, but that's okay, it was within their budget.

Looks like a technical drawing kit. Price is not a factor considering they were thinking of you on your own $$$$$.

Those sneaky rolling pens, I have one that does that so I have a pen holder I pop the barrel end into and it stays upright, no rolling!

The Waterman 13 got away.....but I am sure there are more out there in pen world.

Thanks, guys!!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Yes, you should. What ink are you using that gave you that sheen?

Now yours seems darker than mine! I was writing on pretty yellow-y paper which may have made mine look more orange.

edited to add that I am way too sleepy atm to be taking undertones. I turned on a better light and RH is, indeed, pretty pinky.

What version is yours? And we may need to take this over to the JHerbin 1670 thread.

Broke this one out of the drawer because someone on the FPN facebook page said a nib could be flexible or italic, but not both. :D

      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
