Just inked up a 58 series pen bought new in 2010. The colour is #620 Coral Green.

It's a CC filler, with a Medium nib, is inked with Blackstone Black Stump, and writes very nicely.

I love my stub Churchill lever filler! I walked into World Lux in Seattle and asked about stubs, and the wonderful staff introduced us and we fell in love.

 

When the lever fell off, they took care of it, and more, at new charge.

 

Now Churchill has been put aside, with the lever lying in the velvet slot along side.

 

And World Lux is sadly gone.

 

But Churchill is known for comebacks !

 

Any suggestions?

 

Cheers,

Unusually, I have a ball pen today, as part of my famous five EDC - I'll do a separate post on that little project, stay posted!

 

But this isn't just any old jotter (sorry Parker fans!) - A green and gold Conway Stewart 90 from the early 1960s.

 

As readers of my post about the blue #90 know, this was C.S's first and (in my opinion) most successful model of ball point pen.

 

I just need a pink and gold one now to complete the set! - unless they did a black one?

 

Some little gems out there if you're lucky!

I'd been wanting a CS SCRIBE for some time, so was delighted to pick up this blue marbled 336, with the generous 3B nib.

 

It does not disappoint. The nib sails through all the shades of flex, or can be used as a straightforward everyday writer - and it just keeps laying down ink - these really are writers' pens! I've been a bit greedy and fitted a size 17 sac into it, so I have a bath-tub full of ink ready for my every need.

 

It's still relatively new to me, but has already made its way into my daily carry and is getting a lot of use!

 

Thanks.

Inked with J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir, a #58 with matching grey hatch #33 pencil.

 

And what a nice inscription on the lid too!

 

Anyone else with a C.S set they want to share?

Now, how did that happen?

I recently acquired a Conway Stewart 16 Blue Flame with silver trim. It's inked with Parker blue ink. It's a good companion to my CS 17 in gold trim which I have had for a while. The casein material of these pens is beautiful but very fragile. Unfortunately I damaged my CS 17 unknowingly when I got it by soaking it in water; but I was able to mostly fix the damage - though it still has a scar. Now I know better.

A beautiful set, and a cautionary tale we can all learn from. Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

Some terrific materials out there make no mistake. Nice to see a doppelgander malcolmH!

 

I thought I'd share two oddities today, a #1200 (with the nib from the C.S advert it seems!) and a #60 Executive in burgundy hatch, with Mr Thompson's engraving it seems!

 

Take a look at the imprint of the #60's nib (Architect point) - anyone seen another?

Superb. Can't think that I've ever seen these nibs before.

 

How did you come across them?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
