WhiteStarPens Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Superb. Can't think that I've ever seen these nibs before. How did you come across them?The #1200 is from Barry Rose. I found the #60 on eBay last year for £40. W.S.P Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteStarPens Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I forgot to mention that the nib on my #1200 was quite long and stamped '53' at the base. W.S.P Link to post Share on other sites
como Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Thank you! I've always enjoyed CS pens, an old world charm and solid writers. Superb set. Really nice. Looks to be in excellent condition. Link to post Share on other sites
mallymal1 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 The #1200 is from Barry Rose. I found the #60 on eBay last year for £40. Good old Barry, he does come up with some great items...and eBay, if you're canny. Have just inked this pen... CS Churchill lever filler, from around 2008. Have a fine nib installed for the moment.

PatriciaRogers Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Hello FPN I am embarrassed to say I don't KNOW which CS I am using! I lost my 'register' - that sheet that was in the bottom of my pen case with occupants origin/vintage/details...and mea culpa, I had not gone digital with the intel. I have several CS pens, to my delight and several have come from Barry too! A wonderful pen friend. I had always thought this pen was a No. 27. I hadn't used it in quite some time and recently brought it out and fell completely in love with it again. However, I have come to suspect it is NOT a No. 27 from the cap shape - and I just don't know where to go to find it's actual provenance, per se. Any and all advice very much appreciated.

WhiteStarPens Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Looks like a #217 from the 1940s to me. http://conwaystewart.wesonline.org.uk/csbook/page4.htm#cs217 Streamline C.S models came just after the second world war. Is there no model number? Edited April 12, 2020 by WhiteStarPens W.S.P Link to post Share on other sites

Is there no model number?Hello and thanks so much, I just looked at that link and you've nailed it.In all the time I've had the pen, I never looked for a model number until now and you are spot on, No. 217, it was right there all the time. I feel like a woodentop.Thank you so much for your help! Best,Trish Link to post Share on other sites

I recently found an ink I'm dying to use with the Bottle green one, (silliness, I know, but...) it's a green based Diamine sheening ink called 'November Rain'.

I have 44 green inks, and November Rain will be my 45th...now that's silly...and I'm excited to try it. Maybe in one of these pens... Both are 479's. Link to post Share on other sites
