Newbie... Introduction

Hi,

I am Drewart and I love writing with fountain pens; I use a Pelican 600 mainly because of the flexible nib.

I must confess I have an immediate question. There is a wonderful looking Eversharp Coronet gold filled

pen and pencil set on ebay and I have always admired the art deco style of the model...what can I expect

to pay for these beauties? :)

Drewart, welcome to FPN! Great people and information here, enjoy your stay!

 

I have zero knowledge about Eversharp Coronets, though I recommend checking out the vintage/brand name forums for info. Good luck!

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Welcome!

As you probably surmise or perhaps someone has advised, providing estimates of value for pens, vintage or otherwise, is, at the least, frowned upon. The reason is simple. Pen value, especially vintage pen value, is an erratically moving target and is dependent on numerous factors that are difficult, if not impossible, to assess. As you can tell from your example of the Wahl pens, what one expects and what happens can be vastly different. The best explanation I've seen for pen value is, what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree upon.

Good luck with the obsession.

May we live, not by our fears but by our hopes; not by our words but by our deeds; not by our disappointments but by our dreams.

      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

      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
