Recommended Posts

Beautiful beautiful pen Pravda. I never really liked the skeleton models so much but now seeing your pen I am most intrigued, just like how you and Tom introduced me into the149s. I might have to save up for it!

I hope this rare beauty gives you years of pleasure!

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments / compliments :)

 

I am happy you also like the pictures, it is the best I could do with my iPhone's camera.

 

There's one left to post, the comparison of the two 90 Years Anniversary nibs F vs OBBB:

jmccarty3: Can't wait to see your pics of the recently arrived platinum OBBB nib my friend. Hope you're enjoying it plenty.

Get that plastic off the section Pravda, the pen is a keeper... Unless you want to sell it to me. :)

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

I left the plastic on until the nib installation date (yesterday) just in case the technician is clumsy :) then I thought why not leave it should there be any friction when capping it etc since it's sticking neatly.

 

But you're right! It might accumulate moisture underneath from flushing etc. it's going off now

Thank you so much for the very nice nib comparison photo.

After taking a close look at it, the difference in the writing surface between the two nibs is striking.

As I've never owned an F nib, the photo was especially interesting.

      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.

      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.
