Nos Century Ii 10K F Gold Nib

Recommended Posts

Found a Century II 10K Rolled Gold in a stationary. Buried deep in an old closet gathering dust. After a little haggling (a way of life here) I ended up paying RSS 4000 which at the current rate of exchange is under $35. The nib is fine, a wet writer with a little flex to it, but being F it is a bit scratchier than my fave smooth Bs and broader Ms. Nothing wrong with the nib though.

Enjoy your pens

Have a nice day

From one admirer of Cross pens to another, congratulations on this heart-warming find.

 

Although we've been accustomed to Cross converters that were green or orange, and my most recent have been in clear plastic, there was a period of blue plastic. That sounds right if the pen was lying unnoticed in a stationery shop for a few years.

I use one of these F ones and find it somewhat scratchy : I am exploring fitting an M instead

My pen is sterling silver but the gold one is not bad either !

 

Good catch

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
