Love the way the nib picks up reflected color from the leaf.

 

Hancock obviously was an OBBB quill lover.

That looks terrible. Let me fix that by trading you for a nice and sane 149 with a mostly gold colored M nib. ;)

 

Enjoy your new treasure. I have one in my plans too.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Do I have to take off my carnelian earrings to join the club?

Let's see them next to your favourite pen. Perhaps?

 

The Heritage 1912 was gifted to me by my favourite aunt.

In 1991 I received the carnelian ring from my wife whom I love with all my heart. These two objects are very dear to me. I couldn't even send the Heritage off for a nib exchange because I didn't want to be separated from the present my aunt chose for me.

 

I was contemplating an OBB nib for it --- even very seriously until I decided that I just couldn't.

I found in the wild, an early 1960 vintage MB149 with OBB nib. A wet writer, too wet for me. I have some work on the cap to do,but holy cow, an OBB!

Hard times don't last, but hard people do.

 

Thank a Veteran.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      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
