  1. Hi, I usually like to always have a pen on my person when I go out, run errands, or whatever and I usually keep a pen or two or on occasion even three clipped to my shirt neckline. I was just wondering what the most amount that y'all do.
  2. I was browsing on Taobao today and noticed that there is a new model listing of Delike. Like all delike pens, this one seems to have the no24 nib (EF, F and fude). The barrel is brass, it weighs 45grams with cap. Capped: 101mm Uncapped : 116mm Barrel diameter width: 11mm Section diameter: 9.5mm Comes with mini 2.6mm converter (I presume it's the usual delike converter on HyunYuan. Jinhao cartridges should fit) The clip is fashioned similarly to moonman m7. And according to the taobao listing it might not exactly align with the nib when screwed on the back (you probably need to pull the nib and rearrange it yourself) The finishing seems to be the same as the delike alpha (brass finish version) Like other delike pens, this one seems to use the same screw out nib units (you can also pull the nib units out of the housing if anyone is wondering) Needless to say as a fan of delike metal pens I have ordered this, I estimate it will be a month before I have it on my hands.

    Wilson 21

    Not much is known about this company. We know that Wilson Pen Company was one of the significant pen manufacturers in India. They existed since 1939 as Wilson. They were headquartered in Bombay, India. (I learnt somewhere that they named their company Wilson, because the nibs they imported from USA during wartime had Wilson mentioned). During my school days, I remember Wilson was an envious brand. They used to come in many many models, introduced frequently and often high class replicates of famous Parker models. The most famous were the Wilson jotter pens & also a ball-point pen called "4-point pen" (used to write in 4 colours) Wilson actually paved the way to many western name brands in India like Kingson, Diplomat, Artex etc. They used to come in a plastic boxes mostly as pen sets. The boxes resembled & also open like the present day, manual mercury based "blood pressure monitoring" instrument. I had many Wilson pens but by now have lost all of them, but the pens were always in my mind. Recently, a friend of mine told me that he had a Wilson Fountain Pen, which he never used, since he fancied ball-points only. Thus came to my hands this beautiful Wilson 21, a deep red colour pen, with gold-plated clip and a cap band. (resembles vintage Parker) The pen posted The etching in the barrel "Wilson Regd" & 21 The Cap with clip & Band, "Wilson" is inscribed in both places. The Nib..Here to "Wilson" is written in nib, feed & Section Hope you liked reading about Wilson 21...

We are ever grateful to FPN members for all their support and encouragement for our products. We recognise this and we are happy to announce an International Group Buy here for ASA Mist.

  6. This is in continuation of my effort to record some old forgotten/missing brands of pens from India. Today, we will see another vintage Indian Brand RITESHARP. I do not have much information about this brand either, but have heard a lot about this brand. Its a rare find, again from the bag! My earlier posts are in this link.. Ricoh Sabena-75 Swan VIP This is a medium size pen and came in many colour barrels. The barrels were plastic and had a metal cap. The Cap had chasing design done on it and the clip is gold plated. The date stamp in barrel points out that this pen is of June 1961. Please find the pictures :- The Pen The Imprint in the barrel. Note the date stamp 661 & the Emblem- R over a Lotus (Lotus is the national flower of India) The chasing on the cap. The Ritesharp imprint in cap. The Emblem in the Clip The Nib imprint Kingson (Kingson is another famous Indian vintage brand) The Clip design- Does it look like black-bird Hope you enjoyed one more Vintage Indian Brand. Any more information about this brand is welcome.
