Could You Help Two Orphans?

TWSBI nib units, that is. I have an italic and a fine, just lying there pathetically, and no bodies to host them.

 

They are from the 540 series, I believe....so, what inexpensive and easily attainable not-metal pen bodies (besides Noodler's Ahab) will these fit?

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

My other pen is a Montblanc.

If they fit a Noodler's Ahab, you might try an Indian FP that takes a #6 nib. Check out Airmail (aka Wality) at Asapens.in or Fountainpenrevolution (fprevolutionusa.com) for the many possibles. Mind you, I do not have a Twsbi so cannot speak from experience... but the Wality nibs are eminently forgettable, while the bodies are really nice; it looks like a nice way of housing your orphans...

 

Good luck, and let us know what you come up with!

If they're from a 540 they won't fit a Noodler's Ahab, they'll be too small (540suse use a #5, Noodler's Ahabs a #6). I'll see what I can come up with in terms of pen options.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure that these are 540s.

      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.
