I purchased it a couple of years ago. It's a lovely writer. It's an eyedropper. A Waterman from ca. 1910, I think. Only the barrel is marked 18kt. The cap is probably gold-filled. The nib is 14k marked Waterman Ideal.

I just have these Sheaffers that are too new to be vintage and too old to be modern.

Wow, very nice! I never knew Sheaffer made a solid gold Targa.

Sir Ebaysalot,

Sheaffer made 10 each of the fountain pen and ballpoint of the Targa Masterpiece set that I showed. There are unconfirmed rumors that a few more were made. There was also a Targa Masterpiece set in a straight line pattern that was also limited to 10 pieces each of the fountain pen and ballpoint. I have never seen that one nor have I ever seen a listing for a sale of that one.

 

Both the Targa and the Imperial fountain pens are great writers as well as being good looking. I was fortunate in that both pens had been obviously used when I first got them so I didn't have to agonize over whether to ink and use them.

This thread is fantastic :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
