Here’s adding two more grails from the 1930s. A No. 35 Meisterstück coral red and a 422 stylograph in mottled red.

Great finds Sia. Curious, does the mottled red 422 have a red dot on the cap top? I think that's the way MB used to mark their stylographic pens.

Mottled red! That's sensational!

 

Great stuff, Sia. Congratulations!

Thanks! I can now check the mottled red colour box for my collection. This one is a bit different from the typical red we find on MB safeties or level fillers - quite beautiful!

I own a #35 and it's my favorite pen in terms of style and function. The mottled color scheme on the other pen is super-duper!!

Thank you! I too find the 35 to be the perfect sized pen for me!

Finally, I add a grey striated 142 to complete my 14x collection! I will be looking for a replacement turning knob of better colour in the future but I am seriously impressed with the colour of the barrel and cap! Also, I finally have some 13x representation in my collection (I sold the older 13x pens) and also the only steel alloy nib in my collection today!

Sensational! What a wonderful colour! Many congratulations.

The turning knob looks just fine, from where I'm standing.

 

I have a couple of Montblanc wartime steel nibs (on lower tier pens) and they are amongst my favourite writers. When I first obtained them, I stopped using the gold Montblanc nibs for about a year and just wrote with the steel nibs.

It was probably partly novelty value, as I've gone back to a more diverse set of daily writers - but, there's usually a steel nib in there, somewhere. Today it's a BB 234½.

 

Congratulations, again on your collection. It's most impressive.

Thank you! And that BB 234 1/2 sounds lovely!

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
