I just found this forum and it seems to be just the place to possibly help with a problem that's about 60 years old! All I have to do now is work out whereabouts will be the correct place to post it!

 

The pen is an ancient Mabie Todd item from around the turn of the 20th century, any ideas on where I should post the request with photos would be useful please.

Hello, Welcome. Where in the UK are you?

 

The photo could be posted on the Mabie Todd forum. You could contact Biro, as the successor company, but I doubt if they could replace it with another eye dropper, never mind a Mabie Todd & Bard as they dissolved in 1907!

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!

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
