A Lucky Find From The San Francisco Pen Show

Recommended Posts

So I was just browsing through table after table when I got to Danny Aarons' table. And then this honking big red pen caught my eye. It seemed familiar, but I couldn't be sure, so I held it up and asked Danny if it was the pen I was thinking of, a long-sold out limited edition of the Churchill. And it was! There was someone else who was interested in it as well, so I held on to it tightly and asked Danny to hold on it for me while I browsed through the rest of the show.

 

Enough words, onto the pictures of the Churchill in Red Ripple ebonite...

Very classic looking pen and great pics too....

 

Looks like a pretty fat IF nib....at least in the nib pic....

 

Your other pens aren't bad either.... ;)

 

Enjoy!

Very nice, and good photography as well, very vibrant colours.

 

Looks indeed like an IM almost, but actually that is not bad, in my opinion

 

 

Enjoy that beauty

Wonderful! Enjoy it in good health.

 

So sad that the Churchill is no longer with us...

Too many pens; too little writing.

congrats on the pen :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

So glad I got to see this. I quite like how the end of the barrel tapers. Wonderful photography too!

just found one of these up for sale in, of all places, manila. grabbed it within minutes of hearing about it. ;) i already have a bracket-brown churchill, and had a mint black chased ebonite one some months ago but stupidly sold it, so i won't ever let this one go.

finally, a pic. i'm loving the limited-edition churchill in red ripple that i got from a friend here in manila last saturday. a finicky filler, as often noted about these otherwise gorgeous pens, but can be tamed by an eyedropper. goes well with my home-brewed sepia:

      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
