Just paid for this and it is being shipped within the week . Anyone familiar with the Artus Favorit ? Looks neat but I know nothing about it other than the seller is reliable and always sends me something good . May poke the pig this time but at $40 I ain't gonna worry about it too much . Heres pictures .

OH!!!!! :sick: Envy just crawled out of the clover and stuck it's 6 inch claws in my back. My basic black and gold Artus Ballite and Favorit are post war blind cap, plastic pens.

 

Yours appears to be pre-war....because it is colored & has that high Final. Artus had or made a plastic exclusion machine, and Lamy bought up it & or the pen division in the very late '30's I believe. Right after the war everyone in the world used such a machine to make cheap plastic pens, Parker, Sheaffer, MB, Lamy.

 

Artus was Lamy's second tier pen.....more accurately.... it's pen with a regular flex nib. I saw no drop off of quality between the Artus and the Lamy 27.

 

Lamy pens at least from the '50's on were nails. Might well have been a nail from the start. American style bottom tipping....he was well connected with Parker.

 

The regular flex Artus has the American Bump Under tipping, not being a semi-flex stub like most German offerings.

I do have a gold Degussa made Artus nib....in regular flex....if my memory serves me....not going to go looking for it.

 

Artus is a good solid regular flex pen....the one I recommended once when pens were cheaper, as a good regular flex nib..........................I now recommend bought on German Ebay Geha School pens....for E12-19.

:thumbup: That is one hell of a good looking pen. :happyberet:

Thomas, I would if I could but it will be probably 2 weeks before it gets here . These are auction pictures . The seller says it's a nice working pen and he has been real reliable . I use auction pic's because I lack any skill with a digital camera and my cell phone is 6 years old and has had a color meltdown . I will post what is imprinted on the nib when it gets here from Serbia and will go line by line as it is printed and desrribe any logo. The pen uncapped is right ai 5" from nib tip to end of blind cap and just a hair more capped .

 

 

Bo Bo ,

 

I gave $40 . Thanks for the info i have a few more pictures but I have not been able to upload any pictures here since I loaded two on another post yesterday . Had trouble trying to download one on Ancestry last night also , all uploads show failed no matter what size I use .

Kawco Nib is marked :

 

HUNT CO

Made IN

USA

Alloy

Tipped'

Fine

 

Very stiff cheap feeling nib. Been soaking the cork for a week but I now sucks ink like a champ but is a bit stingy with it . I'll find a good nib for it and clean the feed . Looks good but the top cap threads are just a hair loose . Some silk thread ans a light coat of Elmer's will fix that and be easy enough to reverse if the cap ever needs to come apart .

Hi Eddie

I don`t think that your fp is an Artus Favorit. IIRC the series Artus- Favorit, - Ballit and - Rekord had been made from a plastic mold- in process. The nib is not original for Artus pens and if there is no Artus imprint, it is a very nice but no Artus fountain pen.

Possibly it is an Angloamer- Favorit

Kind Regards

Thomas

Thomas ,

 

The only marking on the pen itself is Favorit . That is on the cap just above the rings reading from there toward the top cap . I know nothing more about it than what I can see , seller listed it as Artus Favorit so that is the name I posted it under . Needs a fine new nib with some flex and it will be a great pen .

 

Best Regards,

Eddie

      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

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
