" Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates."

Recommended Posts

Well, Forrest Gump's mother must have had an Esterbrook at one time .... because you never know what you're gonna get :vbg:

 

For those that have been around the inside of an Estie you've surely seen this before ... for those that haven't ... this is what is probably causing the lever to not open fully on that Esterbrook you just got from the flea market (or fleaBay).

 

Looks pretty good at first ....

I had a similar situation not long ago and the sac looked new and was very brittle, almost petrified. It also broke apart as soon as I touched it. I didn't have a replacement sac so now I just use invisible ink.

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present

      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
