Toledo

Recommended Posts

The morning took its own sweet time in arriving. How I can miss things, on the silver rim of the finial, is 04xx/3000.

B nib with the little PF.

 

Had to read where to find that my 149 from the same plastic bag live auction lot was W. Germany :thumbup:...hadn't even thought to look at the clip ring.:headsmack: (So the '93 Hunter is the youngest the original owner bought.)

Been saving the Hunter for desert. Tomorrow more than likely the 149 will be empty. Might even wait until the Waterman Mann 200 empties. (Black pens, Pelikan 800 OM W. Germany the Mann and the 149.

The Burl looking one is a Diplomat. Image result for Pelikan toledo, hunter

 

The others out side the nail MB Noblesse & C d'A (one FP the other a BP/RB) have been inked and used. Don't expect to ink those two. Don't care for nails; even 18k nails.

The third generation marbled blood red&black speckled body Noblesse polished up better than the picture. The silver cap must be plated in there is no hall marks that I can find. Still a pretty pen, dignified, the body more your eyes only than across a table bling.

      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
