it's not a public album, so will be temporary for the discussion only.

Gone so soon?

sorry Brian.. not sure about all aspects of Google/Picasa.. even after changing the link it allows Me to look at everything. I have study pages there with photo's/items that belong to others, and am very cautious about making these public without permission of the owners. Didn't think the contents would be very interesting to to others here:) so take a quick peek, Don't Copy, and will edit link later.

Best regards, p2p

The biggest stuff-on-chain user was likely the Victorian woman, with her chatelaine, although there is some competition with the same sort of notion from Viking-age women-- no so many pens, of course, and I'm having a devil of time finding a link to one.

Oh, good heavens. He's got a blog now, too.

Ernst, the reason I included the group shot of the Fisk University women, is the young lady on the lower left, with hat on her lap, has a chatelaine...you can see part of it hanging off her belt, from under her jacket it appears to have a small notebook...possibly the leaves inside were of celluloid. There may have been a pencil, retractable nib pen, or two in one.

Check out the huge belts! can you imagine attending class, riding bike across campus, in all of this gear?

Any vintage fountain pen site generally shows a few, but not too many, FP's with rings on the top of the cap for chaining.

Thanks

Roger, how tall are these Wahl ring-tops? The ones I have stand about 3 inches, likely "vest" sizes.

Were chatelaines worn exclusively by women?

      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
