Brand new Wahl-Eversharp Skyline Technik.

 

http://www.andersonpens.net/v/vspfiles/photos/1-5-3FP-3.jpg

 

Cut from solid aluminum billet, it looks like an Airstream trailer! Several parts interchange with vintage Skylines. I'd recently sworn off buying any more modern pens, I was going vintage-only, but... This just pushes a lot of my buttons.

If I don't blow my monthly allotment for fps and stationary just on sketchbooks on my next order, I may get one of the Parker IMs. I'm thinking Taupe, and fine point. I just can't seem to resist those earthy colors. Plus, it's a Parker.. My obsession!

For this month, having bought two Vintage Vacumatic (still waiting for it) and 150 gr of Dardjeeling -margaret´s hope-dj-40-moonlight-s-f-t-g-f-o-p-, I think it´s better to wait untill next month to have a look on another pen (except if ......)

I have one. I think it is wonderful, and I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed if you like the size if the Classique range of pens.

 

I am saving for the Solitaire Special Edition version now which is very special in my eyes.

Thanks!

I'm saving for it.

The next pen/pens that I will get will be the one I find at the flea market on Sunday or later at an auction that morning if I can find

them. They will be hiding, I'll just have to hunt them down.

The two Vacumatic I've bought last week didńt arrived yet and I've just ordered 2 Jinhao 599. One black, one transparent green. My wife won't say anything because I've bought those two chinese FP because of her .... : She was looking one of those stupid films on TV so I went to my computer to have a look an ebay. Result : I've ordered 2 pens for ......5.24 $ including p&p !!!! For such a price ........

Definitely a Pelikan, but I am not sure whether it will be a 405, a 6 series city pen, or an 805. I don't have big hands, so not the 1000 series. From Richard Binder,, because I now have three nibs he has adjusted and each ones writes better than my prior best write, a Montblanc Grande.

 

I also want a platinum Montblanc Classique. But I am keeping an eye out on here for it because I won't buy MB's at full price; I would rather buy use and get them adjusted.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      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
