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.

      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

      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. 
    • Ceilidh
      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.
