I recently bought a 70’s-80’s 146 with a wonderful OBB nib. The problem is that I’ve fallen in love with the line variation from that nib and all my other pens’ writing looks so bland when compared to it. Argh! Making me seriously reconsider selling off or regrinding some of my pens to match!

I need to stop eating all the cookies. It is starting to affect my breathing when walking up stairs.

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

Picked up another 149 recently. The herd is going to need thinning soon.

Bought a 75th Anniversary 149 Limited Edition with the Mother of Pearl star from the bay.

 

Not sure if it works as the owner said it was inked years ago and packed away in its box for years. Might need a trip to the MB service center. Hope it doesn't because I haven't had any luck with MB service recently. Keeping my fingers crossed. Will update this thread with photos once it arrives. What are your thoughts on this model? They seem really high priced on eBay these days.

 

 

Okay. I've got a problem. I also just purchased the LeGrand 146 Ltd. Edition 75th anniversary FP even though the 149 hasn't arrived yet. I'm getting addicted to the MoP stars!!!

 

Awesome, a family photo please once they arrive in :)

 

I hope to pick up a 149 LE to join my 146 LE Doue in near the future :)

I haven't figured out how to post photos since the site was updated about a year ago. I access the site via my mobile phone.

 

Both arrived yesterday. The 146 is great. Micro scratches on the resin from heavy use but I love it. Character. The 149 however arrived broken. Piston nob wasn't even connected. Piston rod is snapped in two and piston is stuck in the barrel. 149 overall is like new. Not even micro scratches on the resin. Not a single one. Some of the Rose Gold has flaked off the nib on both pens. No big deal to me. Looks like the owner may have inked the 149 once and put it away for years, then tried to screw down the piston while it was stuck and thus snapped the rod. Not sure if I should ship it to MB or just have a local person fix it while I wait. Hmmmm. What should I do?

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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
