This is one I'm excited about as I have been searching for one for a while...a vintage 300 from about 1955. And this one has a flex nib. I'll post a pic when it arrives.

Please, as soon as you get the pen put some pictures and a writing sample. I am looking for a 300 too. Congrats on the purchase👍

Hi christof,

 

nice pencil, do you sell the pencil?

Is there a difference between the pencil 570N 570 and 570NN? The biggest change on the fountain pens was the filling knob, but a pencil has´nt one ;-(

Yes, the difference is in the shape and lenght of the clip. And this one is exactly like the 400N clip. Here, a 400N and the 570N side by side for comparison:

Also, pencils for the 400NN series were thinner.

Just picked up a 140 with what seems to be a nice springy fine nib from the North Eastern Pen show here in the UK. I've been eyeing a 140 up for a while on the unmentionable auction site but after handling one today I was sold, it nicely fits in between the modern M320 and M200 sizes. Amusingly I'd mentioned long ago that the standard Pelikan green finish didn't do much for me yet here I am having acquired not one but two green birds within the past two weeks.

Haven't posted here in a while, but I've added a few Pelikans and ephemera in the past months.

 

Pelikan 100N and pencil, nestled like two birds of a feather, and a rough-around-the-edges Pelikan 400 brown tortoise with a glorious fine nib:

Some Spanish blotter advertisements from the 60's I think:

And Pelikan Piccadilly Circus R620, M600 Green o' Green (I've wanted these for the longest time) and R600 white tortoise,

grouped here with my other modern Pelikans:

I thought I needed something to cart them around.

Please let me know if you can't see the picture. I am using Photobucket since I rab out of my allocated space. I guess the picture doesn't appear until you the viewer click on the url.

 

At any rate, I used to have a small collection of lithograph toys ala Louis Marx.

 

Vroom, Vroom!

Wow, that ink looks great with the barrel of the M400.

Indeed! I also fill my M400 White Tortoise with the R&K Alt-Goldgrün. It's like the ink is made for that pen. It is really the nice combination and it is a pleasure to write with it.

:) There's a reason I tried that ink with it first! It seems to be a very popular combination. Next will probably be Kobe Shinkaichi Gold, which will hopefully get to me within the next week.

Congratulations on the white tortoise! I absolutely love mine and the R and K green gold combo (especially for grading), though I find myself drifting towards brown as a more workable everyday ink.

This is my favourite ink and pen combination too. Gorgeous!

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
