My grandfather's old 1939 CS No. 236. It's missing a gold band, has teeth marks on the barrell, nib is worn, and lever missing the end. Doesn't write particularly well...but I LOVE it!

I've finally managed to leave the new Wordsworth alone and have picked up my lever filling Churchill in plain black with silver fittings. Loaded with my favourite Diamine Teal ink, this will do paperwork and diary service today :) .

Today, I am hesitating to choose…

Given the choice, today I would go for that herringbone.

 

But I have no choice, only modern CS in my stable...

I have the same #58 in Blue Marble, but, boy, that red herringbone is a winner! I love how slender the barrel tapers.

Nice herringbone. Hope it writes as well as it looks.

The old Herringbone is a very nice pattern.

Perhaps, Conway Stewart might make a modern pen with this one.

One of my favorites is a CS 15 in black with a medium italic nib. Clipped in my shirt pocket at least once a week.

My cracked ice 58 (lovely smooth medium stub nib) filled with Sailor Jentle Epinard gets used for nearly all my notes at work (4 to 5 sides of A4 a day).

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
