  1. From top: A wooden kit pen given to me by a beginning penmaker from long ago. Heavy, doesn't post, but writes well. Rotring Core (or KOOR, after my favorite Klingon). Just. Plain. Weird. But it writes really well and I love the nib. Laughably hideous NoNami pen from Walmart or somewhere way back. Weighs as much as a school bus, doesn't post, and doesn't write all that well but I had to have it just because. Little Pentech Mr. Kenshin got me from a drug store. Fond memories and it writes well enough. Diplomat Butterfly, the third fountain pen I ever bought, not counting a Sheaffer school pen and an infomercial one that was hawked as being able to play darts with. Levenger Mach 5, heavy as neutronium and difficult to hold, but it writes beautifully. NoNami pink pen, probably the fifth fountain pen I ever bought. Its pink rubbery plasticky barrel gets sticky after a couple of years, but alcohol revives it. Tombow Zoom. Wonderful writer, comfortable to hold. Apart from the Butterfly, all take standard international cartridges or converters.
  2. Hello all! I recently found a rather mysterious Vacumatic. The date code is 1946, body is a long major and the nib is superflex. The nib is also bigger than others found on majors/long majors along with strange markings. I have included some pictures, I have asked a number of people and so far no one can solve the mystery. Hopefully some of you can piece it together http://fountainpenboard.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png Cheers! - Brimic
  3. Hey all, Lord Z here! I just went pen shopping...ish. I went to an antique mall, looking for pens from people who know nothing about pens, and so miss-price them. Anyway, I found a nice vintage pen for $50, and it was gold-nibbed, so I thought I would look it up. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I cannot find the pen anywhere online. So here I am. What I need: Model. Price. Barrel material. Anything else you can scrounge up on it. Characteristics: MISC: I found the company: Imperial Pen and Pencil Co. Went bankrupt in 1951. Other than that, I can't find much. Nib: 14k, fine or medium, springy, maybe minor flex. Nib Markings: Imperial, 14k, USA Body: Black, tapered ends, gold clip, silver band on barrel marked "Imperial" with a crown. Action: lever fill. Large-ish ink sac. Measurements: I have not measured the pen yet, but if you need me to, I can. It is very big, perhaps the size of a Conway Stewart Wellington and similar in shape. Photos: Thanks a ton, Lord Z
