For those who use metric around 2.8 meters. Is that length posted or unposted?

They came as a boon, and a blessing to men,
The Pickwick, the Owl and the Waverley pen

Sincerely yours,

clearly the eight was a typo in place of a parenthesis :rolleyes:

the pen is 4 inches long, around 10 cm

I should have guessed that. Many people from India believe that glare sells rebranded inks and pens made by other Indian manufacturers at very high mark up. So this one can be a Guider capsule fp rebranded as glare. Image would be helpful for confirmation. Or you can Google for guider capsule fountain pen and decide yourself.

i have one of these and was not overly impressed. it wrote well enough, but it does not post which makes the pen about 2 1/2 inches long when you write with it. really too small to be practical. it was an eyedropper as well and its small size meant that the ink level would get lower quicker, meaning more frequent burping.

      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.
