Dunhill Sidecar Pencil?


melon

Recommended Posts

I have been watching one of these for a while now in a local shop window. I asked what their best price was today and they came back with £80. It's used but comes with the box and papers. It's the silver coloured alligator pattern.

 

Is it worth it? I don't have any pencils and rather fancy it but not sure on what they might be worth.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know this particular pencil, but I have one Dunhill FP.

It's a bit posh brand. They are in the Montblanc stable.

 

It depends what you are looking for in a pencil.

 

GBP80 is a lot of money for "just a pencil for those times you need one" In that case there are good pencils that are a lot cheaper.

 

But if you actually want that bit of posh I think it's a nice choice. I can't comment on the technical details.

Dunhill makes nice writing instruments. I have the Dunhill Sidecar Red Resin Ballpoint pen, Pencil, and Rollerball pen. 80 GBP is a low price for a Dunhill Sidecar pencil. I paid more than that for my Dunhill Sidecar Red Resin pencil when I bought it new directly from the Dunhill store in New York. So, if you like then pencil then this is the time to buy it as it will not be available at 80 GBP for for very long.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
