I love this… this is great!

 

 

Thank you! The price of antiques has been going DOWN in Las Vegas so pieces like this, though hard to find are becoming exceptionally affordable.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Of course I am!

 

Here's my current ink stash.

You don't have nearly enough inks. There's space along the bottom shelf for a whole 'nuther row of bottles. I suggest the Wancher inks for starters.

As turquoise inks go, I'm more partial to Pelikan than to at least the current Sheaffer. (And don't get me started about that bad run of Sheaffer blue, that turned out a dirty shade of weak, grayish cyan!)

It only looks like it. I'd have to do something with my Akkerman bottles... I think I need another box where I stacked four rows.

Sailor Jentle Inks are all lively and well behaved. This serie was designed in such way any two inks look very good paired together. They are all harmonized and have a sheen when lit at an steep angle.

Most of my personal notes are taken in Sailor Epinard (green) with annotations in Sailor Abricot (orange).

VillersCotterets Extremely Rare

I love the way the green ink (épinard) is made more vibrant when accompanied with orange (abricot) accents, here and there. The contrast is very pleasant.

However, I wouldn't recommend you the buy abricot alone (or pêche which the complement of grenade). The colour is too light to be used in full texts. Instead, take a look at ultramarine, épinard or the greyish blue called blue black.

The regular blue (a lot darker than sky-high) and Noodler's Black are probably the inks I use the most for "business". The blue has a red sheen.

I notice you appear to have sealed the cap of the Parker Penman bottle?

It arrived that way from the very nice FPNer who sent it to me. I've been using up my samples before breaking in to the bottle of Emerald.

      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..

      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
