Wtb: Pelikan M1000


bjcmatthews

Recommended Posts

I was kayaking out on the river, and saw a few pelikans flying over head.

 

I thought to myself, what would a thousand pelikans look like?

 

The internet showed me a picture of a thousand pelikans, which unusually resembles a big fountain pen.

 

I would like to buy one of these bizarre things, but don't have the money to buy a brand-spanking new one. I don't mind not being spanked by a new pen, so I thought I'd see if anyone has one for sale?

 

In regards to condition, as long as the pen has been well looked after, I'll consider it.

 

If you have one you want to let back into the wild, please email me a few pics to (and a price you'd like for it):

EDIT: No worries, bought a new one:D

Congrats, on your new M1000 pen!

I was debating offering to sell you my gently used M1000 with a Medium-Stub nib for a low price, before putting it up for sale later.

I kept putting off the offer, thinking that shipping/ tracking/ insurance from Florida to Australia would have made it ridiculously expensive.

New is better than used anyway, even though my used M1000 looks new I don't have the original box or paperwork, no warranty on used either.

Be sure to come back and post your opinions, perhaps a mini-review, pics too if you can.

“I view my fountain pens & inks as an artist might view their brushes and paints.

They flow across paper as a brush to canvas, transforming my thoughts into words and my words into art.

There is nothing else like it; the art of writing and the painting of words!”

      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
