I received just recently V16, with gold F nib, from my sister's MIL.

It has a great sentimental value - V16 black (though in OM) was my first fountain pen, back at elementary school, age 9.

How that happened was a typical school-child-last-minute-8:00 p.m- cry for help "Dad - from tomorrow we need to bring FP at school, and start writing with it". He pulled something small, in a pen pouch, from his drawer, we inked it with ever-present Pelikan Royal Blue - and I was all set!

It served me well for several years of school and homework - but somehow other pens later replaced it - and I was never able to find my first Kaweco again.

This one is a fantastic replacement!

"SUPREME is an American skateboarding & clothing brand established in NYC in April of 1994. The brand caters to the skateboarding, hip hop & rock cultures, as well as to the youth culture in general." (from a quick WIKIPEDIA search)

 

There are now locations, besides the 11 in NYC, in LA, Paris, London & Tokyo. They also offered a white Sport rollerball by Kaweco in 2013, besides this Al Sport pen in red.

 

I suppose it is a similar to the Kaweco pens made for the Chinese & Asian market, targeting certain pens to certain markets, in this case with a "branded" identifier.

Latest Kaweco I have acquired. Very nice nib and it writes beautiful. Alas, I have no idea of the model or year of fabrication.

Wow, I would imagine pre-1939 because its a button filler and has a gold nib (so pre war). Just a guess

Nice pieces, I love the elephant and the monkey clips...

 

The Red mottled is very similar to the one I presented in the page 4 of this same thread... at that time I thought it was a prototype now yours proves me wrong, it seem it was a normal production... very surprising piece...

Thanks - that was one my grails thanks to the Gentleman quoted below who introduced me to this unicorn of a pen.

Ariel, yes I could not believe my eyes when I saw this pen as you had suggested this was a prototype. It does has the KaWeCo barrel imprint unlike your pen - unsure if that disqualifies from it being a prototype. Regardless it is a beautiful piece. I would love to get myself a Aurumia though... someday :)

Not long ago one of the members of pendbord.de was offering one Aurumia in very good conditions... Now that I know, as soon as there is one around I will let you know...

(I should have known !!! you have a pretty good taste)

      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

      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.
