This is not pen related but while trolling for coffee this appeared because I searched for Rich Italian.

 

Bust 18"...now if my math is correct that's a diameter of 6"....22" long. Gosh I would like to see the prospective buyer....Olive Oil comes to mind.

 

It made me chuckle anyway.

Philiman 200 or are they 100....

 

but seller states 'don't know much about pens'...that sure is the truth.

Wonder what his reserve is....

Shucks...

 

Look up your nearest Engineering workshop and give them a call. Ask if they have any cutter clear cases they throw in the bin that you could collect for your pens...it's the same thing.

 

That's how I store all my odd pens,

When IT sounds too good to be true it often is.

 

Very tempting BIN price, 0 Feedback, 5 days auction, very little description...one to steer well clear of.

 

we also have our very own version of NY Monty here in the UK whose Waterman prices are always sky high.

In the dark.

I'm guessing it is a black Phileas with some carts. BIN price a lot better than the previous item, but there you have to pay for the tutorial in history.

 

Happy 2014, Force (and the rest of the gang, ofcourse)

How can you tell? Is there actually a pen in either of those photos? Do ebay sellers assume there are idiots out there who would buy a pig in a poke?

I said I was guessing. From the shape I would say it was a fountainpen. and a Phileas or Kultur. Judging this pic is something like looking at X-ray photos.

The discernible features point to Phileas rather than Kultur.

And yes Force, the colour could be blue also.

 

Sometimes you get a good buy on items like these as many pepole would skip this item ...

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
