My new arrival, an old style M600 burgundy with a monotone 18k OBB nib.

I tried to take a quick pic of the nib, but it turned out pretty bad.IMG_9012.thumb.JPG.4be6c9fd3683833f435f2b77ab17858a.JPG

Nice. I was not aware of such a color for the m600.

 

I recently added a Pelikan m200 Brown Tortoise. Will upload image soon.

Oh, a M200 Tortie! That is a very nice one.

 

The M600 Burgundy was produced between 1988 and 1990 and are the same size as the M200/M400s.

New 100 series Pelikan to my collection.. actually its 101 Tortoise from 1935-37 year with old nest logo. Some restoration works already done, but still some attention will be needed (notable the gap between cap and sleeve). Anyway, I am very happy to found this beauty..in Argentina:)

I added a Pelikan M405 blue striped and an Original of their time (the one with the gold plated overlay).

the blue striped is particularly useful to celebrate the 19th scudetto of the Internazionale soccer team in Italy😀.

When I got the chance to finally get one of the striated blue M400s a few years ago (which is the color I REALLY wanted from the very beginning), I ended up paying a little more to get the M405 -- there was just something about the rhodium plating against the blue that made it prettier....

I added a 400 to my small flock, it joins a M200 Smoky Quartz.  The 400 has a nice springy nib and writes a smooth fine line.

Dang it! That Smoky Quartz is attractive...I was about to pull the trigger and buy a Caffé Crème, but now I see this (very nice) photo of the SQ, and I am thinking I could save some money...

Both are very attractive and probably you will want to have both, so as buy first the rarer 🤣

      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.
