Here is my humble offering to this very fine snorkel thread.

 

ordinary snorkels but look more closely....

 

 

 

Flexible music nib, flexible stub Triumph nib ( maybe the rarest? What do you think Roger?), and "ordinary?" Music nib

 

Resized to 83% (was 960 x 720) - Click image to enlarge

 

Lovely collection, these nibs are on my dream list :puddle: :puddle: :puddle:

Wow! I don't know if that explains my reaction properly to viewing your collection but simply put...WOWEEEE. And the rest of us dream. I don't know why I missed this posting when it was first put up a bit ago but glad I took the time to slow down and explore closer this morning. Beautiful collection.

JELL-O, IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

did you really say "flexible triumph nib"? and a stub? :puddle: this is getting almost to the top of my grail pen list. in fern green! ;)

 

 

If you are only going to have three , these would be it. Assuming you like to write with them

post-49573-0-53506100-1314407384.jpgI have these snorkels, as well as one or two desk sets.

Wonderful pens to write with. Very balanced, great ink flow. Made me a better penman. The green one was one of the first pens I ever bought. Made me a believer!

Man, those sure are some collections you guys have :puddle: I've never seen such a collection of snorkels and PFMs in one pic! And all those Gold models... :notworthy1:

 

I've got only one snorkel, and that's my pastel green Crest. I've gotta say that I can't put that thing down! How do you guys choose from so many? I know I couldn't...

Fingers crossed for Sheaffer’s future

Noob question here:

 

Is a PFM considered a Snorkle? Assume all PFM's are Snorkles, but not all Snorkles are PFM's, right? Doesnt Snorkle refer to the filling system, which many Shaeffer varieities use?

 

Thanks for your tolerance, and thanks even more for posting the pics; really fantastic pens, and I am even more heartened to hear that they are a pleasure to write with.

There are snorkels in the thin size 1952-1959 and PFM's that use a snorkel filling system 1959-1962. No other pens used the snorkel filling system.

Hmm, nice penporn.................is that a custom italic, or did Sheaffer make them that way??

 

I have one of the Sheaffer italics on a Targa, very nice...

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
