Snide now that your collections have married, are you are going to be thinning your collection? :embarrassed_smile:

 

Oh, it won't help me, but your marriage looks to make not only your self, but many others very happy.

 

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Wedding update: Terry Clark, amazing photographer & fellow pen collector, has agreed to be our photographer, and we're very excited. (Brian is hoping to get more pen pics than wedding pics taken I fear lol).

 

Anyone planning on attending the Chicago show? I'm trying to see how many Black J's I need to come up with LOL...

Would if I could..and I haven't met either of you:)

Now you're quite sure that the photo's won't be entirely be shirt pocket shots of pens? all faces out of focus?

you know the hand over hand rings shot? = pen in hands shot? etc etc?

:) hope you're enjoying all the pre-show plans;) no nib-zilla antics;D

Oh, good! <whew> I saw Lisa's For Sale post last night listing Esterbrook nibs, and an esterbrook.net contact link, and wondered...

(I've been away a while.)

Congratulations, and best wishes to you both!

Rgds,

Jon

I may not have been much help, but I DID bump your thread up to the top.

Thanks so much for all the well wishes. My dear friend Carla Mortensen has agreed to be my maid of honor, so we are in good standing to keep this an all-pen people event!!! After the holidays, we will start the serious planning, but we are grateful to those involved (Carla, Joel Hamilton, Paul Conterato, Terry Clark, and of course Dan Zazove & Don Lavin the Chicago Show organizers) for all of their support & help in planning this once-in-a-lifetime at a show event!!

      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
