  1. Hi, I have this nice Esterbrook desk pen. I'm currently keeping it in a wooden pen holder, however it lets the pen dry out too quickly. So now I'm looking for a proper Esterbrook desk pen holder that is compatible and will do the trick and be nice to the pen. If you have one for sale and are willing to ship it to Europe, please contact me. To be honest, I also looked around on ebay and the biggest problem is that the sellers in the US are shipping things to the EU very expensively. For instance, this particular item might be what I'm looking for, but the shipping costs twice as much as the item itself.

    Parker Desk Pen Base - What Pen?

    I just bought this beautiful Parker desk pen base. Any idea what Parker desk pen fits it? And what it was originally designed for/came with? http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/Njk2WDkyOA==/z/qKsAAOSwnDxUpvMn/$_57.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTI1WDg0MA==/z/mzYAAOSwkNZUpvNf/$_57.JPG?rt=nc
  3. I was a bidder but lost. The only piece I was interested in was that black desk pen marked US Government. If you won this lot for the inks, nibs or other pens and aren't interested in that US Government desk pen, I'd love to buy it off you. http://goo.gl/FTbDBo You can see the pen at the very bottom of the pic.

    Us Navy Marked Desk Pen?

    I've seen a US Government marked Esterbrook desk pen, and I've heard of a US Navy marked Esterbrook desk pen, but I've never seen one. I have a US Navy Dip-Less desk set and would love to add a US Navy pen to complete the set. Do these ever show up anywhere and what could I expect to pay for one if I could find one? I believe most were not marked but I would love to find one that is. Any help is appreciated.
  5. Hi all, After reading a lot about the Gama pens on here, I visited the ASAPens site and found a nice desk pen by Gama called Ezhuthani. It's the Tamil word for Stylus or Desk pen It looked like a dip pen but is an eyedropper filling pen. My other purchases from ASA (no affiliation) were the regular Gama fountain pens, reviews of which are plentiful on this forum. As always, excellent service from Mr. Subramaniam and I received the pen in 3 days time. It came packed in a lovely velvety pouch. I ordered a Light Brown and black mottled shade. Absolutely gorgeous to look at. The stock nib with the pen was a steel fine nib Gama FIVE. I pulled the pen apart and was immediately taken back with the size of the feed. This pen has a LONG LONG feed. I am not sure about the design aspect of this but in all the Gama pens I have, the feed sticks out of the section and into the barrel. Cleaned out the parts and inked it up with some Camel Black Ink. I had a dip pen made by Ranga before to take a Nikko G nib. I wanted to try a flex nib on this pen too. The only nib that fit without any modifications to the nib or pen was a Gillot 303. I didn't do any writing with the standard nib that came with the pen, so I can't really comment on the way it writes. A few pictures: http://i.imgur.com/dIesEoJ.jpg The pouch packing http://i.imgur.com/Wl07M4D.jpg http://i.imgur.com/u0kCLfA.jpg The pen with the stock nib http://i.imgur.com/qajXPQa.jpg The humongous feed http://i.imgur.com/nh0tZJd.jpg Fitted with the Gillot 303 nib http://i.imgur.com/nNXDLzF.jpg This is a Wonderful pen and works beautifully with a Gillot nib.
  6. So it is Saturday afternoon and I'm a little bored. Actually, I'm distracting myself from work, but you folks probably don't care about that. The thought crossed my mind that I haven't noticed, in my time researching various fountain pens, any current production desk sets. I say current production because modern is sometimes a style. I did a little looking this afternoon, and found Goulet sells a Platinum set, and Jetpens has the same and a Sailor (pen only, no base). I found one thread on here that mentions a Pilot, and there is something like it on eBay. All three surprisingly affordable. I also ran across a few ballpoint and roller ball sets, but I'm looking for fountain pen desk sets. Actually, I'm not looking in the sense of wanting to buy one, just looking for curiosity's sake. I don't have a desk, so a desk set would not be of much use. eBay has lots of vintage desk sets available, mostly made by Sheaffer, some by Parker, a few by random other brands. But very little modern, current production models. Are there other brands out there making such a product, or did desk sets go the way of the fountain pen? JS

    Desk Pen Holder For "fat" Touchdown?

    Hi folks, I have a "fat" touchdown desk pen -- I'm guessing it must be a 1949, from before the TM, but correct me if that sounds wrong. I'm looking for a holder for that size pen. I have a marble base, but not a correctly-sized holder. (Holder? Funnel? Is there a correct word for that part? The brass part with the hinge.) Any idea where I could look for one? Anyone have an extra they are willing to sell? Thanks!
  8. I am starting to wonder if these things are like wire clothes hangers - multiplying on their own while my back is turned. I got an Eight Ball. I think it came in with some other stuff I bought on ebay. I really do. And then I wanted one desk pen for it. I now have four Estie desk pens here on my desk, one plain black Estie that lacks a cap and might like to be thought of as a desk pen, and another bona fide desk pen coming in the mail. I have the Eight Ball. I have another Eight ball lacking the plastic part - I stuck a bead with a hole just the right size in there. I wrapped up a piece of black foam to fill in the neck of a very small vase for a third one. A fourth is in some other brand of pen holder - no, that's the Sengbush, I had to put it somewhere... Everywhere I turn there is an Estie desk pen... I am going to have to open a hotel. One on the desk in every room. It is my destiny.
  9. After I had tried out the Pilot Desk pens and was wowed by their performance, but frustrated by the lack of matching desk bases for the lovely pens, I decided to find out what the Pilot competitors in Japan had to offer. I turned to Platinum and saw from their Japanese website that they had a good variety of desk pens and best of all, a wide variety of matching desk bases on offer. Ranging from heavy marble bases to the lightweight(and cheaper!) acrylic and resin bases. I decided to go for the gold nibbed KDP-3000A series pens and the Resin two tulip DPD-1500E desk base. This review covers the following model nos: KDP-3000A #1 in Black with F 14k nib. KDP-3000A #10 in Red with F 14k nib. DPD-1500E two pen desk base in Resin. The widest nib available in the KDP-3000A series is the F nib!! They do have some models with the steel M nib but the MOQ packing quantity was 10 pieces so the choice was automatically limited. When I ordered the items from the dealer, I was advised that it might happen that both the tulips are black when delivered since Platinum had discontinued the one red and one black tulip production. I said, OK. Anyway, between my order and today, the one week Japanese holiday came in between, so the items were shipped only after that and today I have received the items in hand. Here is my review documenting these models. The desk base first: Very simple packing: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8859.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8860.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8861.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8862.jpg Removed from the box: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8863.jpg Glad to see that I was able to get the one red and one black tulip to match with the ordered pens. http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8864.jpg The pens in a simple cardboard shipping box: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8865.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8866.jpg No converter was supplied, but matching colour cartridges were provided. http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8868.jpg Opened: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8867.jpg Golden Tails http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8869.jpg The 14k Nibs: pretty standard, nicely done: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8870.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8871.jpg Translucent feeds: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8872.jpg Metallic threads!! http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8873.jpg The base with the Platinum pens: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8874.jpg The tulips are quite well made. They are fitted with spring loaded inner caps: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8875.jpg The best part, the Pilot desk pens fit in the Platinum tulips perfectly!!! see http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/PlatinumDeskPens/IMG_8876.jpg I am very happy to have discovered this. In fact, now the desk stand sits on my desk carrying a Pilot DP-500 and a red Platinum F nib loaded with the red cartridge, the Platinum red color is also quite pinky bright!! nice color and the F point is typical Platinum, perfect!! Cost: That is the best part with these JDM (Japan domestic market) goodies. The pens cost me only approx 30USD each(yes, for a brand new fountain pen with a solid 14K gold nib) and the desk base came to just around 23USD. I hope the review is of some help to others considering these lovely goodies. Cheers! Hari
