Hallo all

 

Dana pens in Tel Aviv has a sale every December.

 

I was there today. I found a beautiful NOS Bexley button filler and bought it immediately.

 

I found a picture of it at: http://www.parkvillepen.com/bexleycollection.html

 

Its an orange cable twist dating back to 1994 and is no. 274 of a limited edition of 1000 with a 14k two tone nib. Unfortunately it came without a box, but you can't have everything.

 

Looking forward to using it

 

Chaim

What a lovely pen! It was one of the first limited edition pens I saw, and pushed me to look back at vintage cable twist pens.

 

It's also a nice reminder of Dennis at Parkville Pens: a true Bexley fan.

Hi

 

I have just now taken it out of rotation. Its a beautiful writer with a first class nib and very well-balanced. Its a pleasure to write with.

 

It has one disadvantage. Any ink in the cap is immediately visible. I had to wash out the cap every week for esthetic reasons.

 

Chaim.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
