Here's my Orient Bambino and Lamy 2000. I like this combo. My photo doesn't do justice to either.

 

Is that a crack on your Lamy 2000, looks like a large crack on the bottom left going upwards just above the K on the KIMBALL.

That's a reflection or shadow of the watch strap. The L2K is in perfect health :)

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

My Sheaffer Vacuum Filler and Lord Elgin Driver. Just got a new strap for the Elgin and it really made the watch pop.

Inky Fingers are better than Stinky Fingers.

Nice, looks late thirties-early forties. Do you have its serial number?

Off the Elgin? on the inside of the case it's marked "163085" and on the movement it is "X207645" The "X" is a more sallow etching than the numbers so I'm not really sure if it is part of the "207645" or not. Would love to know the actual year it was produce though.

The number on the case is actually the serial number of the case while the one on the movement is for the watch. Your watch movement was only made it seems for two years. It is a 21 jewel 538 movement and was made in 1939.

      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
