Sorry for the newbie question, but what is a "New York" nib, and how is it different from, I guess a non-NY nib? ;)

A "New York" nib says "Waterman Ideal New York". It was used by Waterman from sometime on or before 1900 to about 1925-1927. Later nibs said "Waterman Ideal Reg. US Pat. Off."

 

Photos are attached - not great ones, but they should show the difference.

So if you have a lot of ink,

You should get a Yink, I think.

And here's a pic of some of the variations of the New York imprint nibs I have seen.

Thank you Dennis - I knew you would have some much better pictures. I really need to set up a semi-permanent light tent so I can do these shots on the spur of the moment.

 

That or just shoot all my nibs. It would be really fun to do a big comparison shoot of all the variations of Warranted nib out there.

      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

      @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
