Is that a red (burgundy) 146 90th anniversary? looks really good, I'd like to see the contrast with the black one.

 

Cheers,

Great picture! Love it. Does it have a OBBB nib? Does not look that wide

It is a F nib 90 Year Anniversary 149. The 149 never came in Burgundy resin, I wish it did. Just played with the lights a bit to get the red tint.

 

Tom Kellie looking at your sketches is almost as fun as admiring your unequaled photography!

Nicely done!!!

I puzzled over the image you shared until you cleared up the mystery. For a while I thought you had found a 149R.

Heck, I thought it might have been a 146R body and transplanted nib.

The thought crossed my mind, too.

Or perhaps Montblanc itself.

Hamburg, are you reading?

Wonderful photography!

 

Question - the nib on the right looks like a real gusher with the fairly substantial gap between the tines - do you find it to be troublesome (hard starter) with some types of paper?

Tom, what happened? What kind of accident?

Will you address the problem of the separated tines yourself? Do you dare? Have you the skill and the courage to embark on a nib adjustment adventure?

      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.
