I have a few moire (modern) stripe skylines, and none of the clips have the two-checkmark logo, which is very common on all the metal-capped skylines. What is the rule? All plastic bandless caps must have clips without that checkmark logo?

AFAIK the double check mark was used to compete with Parker and Sheaffer's lifetime warantees (the white dot and blue diamond). They probably eliminated it when Parker did due to more strict warantee laws. I think that was 1948???

 

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong smile.gif

I remember reading somewhere that all-plastic skylines are cheaper versions, therefore do not have the two-check logo for quality guarantee. Does this mean that the correct clip for all plastic skylines SHOULD only be those without the logo? At least this is my observation so-far.

My first Skyline was an all black plastic with a thin cap band. It has the double check mark. I know there were economy versions available, buit I can't remember the bands on those...

      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

      @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
