Pay It Forward 2013

[something creative]

So here's two old Sheaffer calligraphy pens I do not want. They are NOT good starter fp's but they'd be great for someone who wants to try out calligraphy. I'd like to give both of them to the same person.

 

The nibs are broad and medium. The nib assemblies, from what I can tell, cannot be taken apart and adjusted (maybe someone else can find a way to do this though; I'm no expert). For this reason, they would probably be better for someone who already knows fp's and has a couple of inks with different flow properties, so you can get the wetness you desire. So, don't enter for these if you don't want to tinker.

 

The bodies and caps are transparent. The pens will take Sheaffer cartridges. They also seem long enough for a converter. They look like they would be really good ED's too.

 

Pm me with a short explanation of why you'd like these pens, if you're interested. I'll ship anywhere. All entries are welcome; but as I said they're probably better for the person with more inks, experience, and the willingness to tinker. I'll take entries until Friday the 15th of February midnight EST. I'll draw the winner when I get a chance that weekend, then post and pm the winner.

 

God bless

Seeing the generosity on this thread has restored my faith in mankind ...

Eligibility -- First PM from someone who works with kids in some capacity ... Teacher, Boy/Girl Scout Leader, Coach ... just let me know ... I'll take your word for it.

FOR THIS INITIAL GIFT ... CONTINENTAL US ONLY -- include your address in the PM.

 

Don't worry, I plan to make this PIF, a regular activity.

Awesome!,

Hopefully I can get this one fixed up and running, if I can't then I'll mail it off to someone who thinks they can. Then I'll have to pay a pen forward to cover my karma.

Rusty is the man when it comes to PIFs and care packages

[TLab3000]

At first I thought this was a difficult decision. So many people had good reasons why they should get the pens. In the end, I really had to go with the lowest postage fees to make a decision. The Hero 616 fountain pens go to:

hariharan

and

caryshansonxx
