Second Hand Market Treasure


hariharan

Recommended Posts

I live in Delhi, India and i happened to visit stationery stores nearby who stores a huge range of fountain pens. He also has a good collection of used pens at a reasonable price.

 

I'm so happy and excited about today's purchase which include

1) Sheaffer imperial - Rs.1200- approx $18

2) Sheaffer Prelude-Rs.1600- approx $24

3) cross pen with gold nib-Rs.4000- approx-$60

 

I couldnt identify the cross model, though its written "1/20 10KT Gold filled" in its cap.

Hi

This is in Aurobindo market in Hauzkhas. If you know the road to hauzkhas village in the Aurobindomarg, then you wont miss the auobindo market in the mainroad.

 

Hi
Where in Delhi is this store.
May be I would love to visit it.

You can say that again.

Nice haul Hariharan. I'm with jar on the Cross: it definitely looks like one of the original centuries.

Oh yeah, the cross is superb. I normally like bigger section dia and was not sure whether i could like it.

But the nib on paper melts you. The best nib i have used so far and the writing performance let one forget about many things , including the small section dia :)

      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
