PELIKAN - Too many birds in the flock to count. My pen chest has proven to be a most fertile breeding ground.

I'm much more fascinated by the bread loaves in your photo stream.

Artisan baking, another hobby which takes more time but less $$$ than FP's. If it counts, my most recent acquisition was a double batch of Parker house rolls for a neighbor's neighborhood wide BBQ in honor of his wife's birthday (they were a hit, manty turned into brisket au jus sandwiches!)

 

Actually I have made a few additions to the pen box, but not Pels. A couple English Duofolds and a nice little copper Esterbrook with a broad stub nib.

Just got 2 at a local mini-show.

A green marbled 200, and a translucent 205. My first Pelikans :) so I just joined the Pelikan club.

But I need to get new XF nibs, as the B nibs on the pen is too FAT for me.

That may be but I suspect that the pickin's are a little richer in your neighborhood than mine. Here if a building is 50 or 75 years old, that's considered 'really old' and an 'old' pen is maybe a ball point from the 60's. Anyway, keep at it, gives me hope and no small amount of vicarious joy.

My new M1005 arrived today but it's a bit of a hard starter. Pelikan really needs to start addressing the issues with their factory nibs, as I've had these sorts of faults in several M1000 variants now. Once it starts on the page it writes with a broad, wet line with reasonable nice variation from brown to orange and the occasional fleck of pulp but I can't get over the baby's bottoms. Can anyone recommend a nibmeister?

I would send a new M1005 enormous "carat" nib to Pendleton Brown. His work is wonderful. I just received a beautiful Pelikan Ibis with an OB that is smooth as glass (which I love), but which skips on the down stroke (which I do not). PB will have it purring shortly. He has tuned or modified several nibs for me, including two Sailors that were nearly "unwritable". Now the are superb. The rest are Pelikans that dearly love. There are other fine nibmeisters. But, I can vouch for PB.

I hear that folks have been having good results with Bugs Bunny. He is not afraid to dive right in there and chew away any excess. His schedule is erratic, however, because of the persistent persecution by a guy w i f f a w i f l e.

Yesterday, I finally joined the club with my very first Pelikan arriving in the mail. It's a 1990s NOS M200. I was surprised at the lightness (compared to my visconti) and the flex in the nib. Going the through the usual run in with an unused almost 30yo nib but I am starting to love the precision of the writing experience. This will probably push me over the edge to make my next pen a newer m400.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      @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
