Stipula Etruria Photo Thread

Here is one more Etruria

I got this by chance and I am not sure why it's supposed to be an LE

Its a black version, CC filling system, and it came with a Titanium nib, but I eventually swapped it with a 14k.

The barrel says 57/88 and I am still curious as to why this was a LE...

This is the value of a photo thread... I never realized that the Etruria Gallicana was considerably smaller than a "regular" (hem, a large pen) Etruria. The Terra di Siena and the Amber are visually quite similar, but nonetheless they are two completely different materials!

 

When you will have a chance, would you mind to post a photograph of your "older" Amber Etruria uncapped, to appreciate the straight section?

 

It's just the perspective. The Gallicana is only a millimeter or so shorter than the regular Etruria. It's also a bit wider and heavier. Here's another picture, uncapped.

I'm not a real fan of demonstrators either, but the Etruria Rainbow pens are rather peculiar, they are big (among the biggest demonstrators) and they always have that comfortable Etruria shape that I like.

 

This is my Rainbow Green

 

And this is my Rainbow Yellow

 

The “rainbow” demonstrators really look interesting. And you are right about the shape of the Etruria: it is at the same time very imposing (and characteristic) and comfortable to write with. It is a great model!

Now you let we all quite intrigued bu your finding and the reason of the limitation number. Do you know which material the pen is made of? Maybe the limitation depends on the material “particularity”...

Thank you very much for posting the photo and correcting my interpretation of the Gallicana size, based on a “perspective error”.

 

Even though the shape of the Etruria with the “ergonomic” section has now become a classic, I find that the straight grip of your pen made up for a coherent and pretty pen design. I like it.

Absolutely true, the only other pen that comes close in shape is the Edison Collier, but it's not quite there by a fraction...(and of course vs the Stipula celluloids there is no match)

I missed buying a Gallicana sometime ago and regret it... very nice pen!

Actually not, I have wondered whether it might be celluloide, certainly it's not celluloid nitrate, I would recognize the smell, it might be celluloid acetate, but might also be resin, also considering it's not a piston filler.

It does look very sober all in black...

 

I have also wondered whether the LE might be due to the titanium nib, but have found no references.

here is one more peculiar Etruria,

this is a Stipula Etruria Colonna Classica, it's a resin pen made in collaboration between Stipula and Chutterley Luxuries, and it's a LE of only 18 pens.

It's a piston filler, somewhat heavier that other Etruria I have, the tactile feel of the striped barrel and cap is really nice.

there is still reference to this pen on Chatterley's site (although it's since long out of stock)

Cool Etruria, I really dig the stripes on it! I'll share some pictures of the Fiesole that I bought today when it arrives!

This is one of my favourites, the Nuda showing a bit of blue. Should really clean it soon.

nice, how do you plan to clean it?, I need some advice for my yellow one...

 

here is one more

 

Stipula Etruria faceted champagne Chatterley

this is again a cooperation production between Stipula and Chatterley Luxuries

(Bryant has often done these, in my opinion his co-operations with Stipula are among the best LEs he has done)

sorry for the photo, I need to take a better one; due to the white background and insufficient lighting contrast is too high and the champagne celluloid does not show in all it's glory

Was going to use some 'cleaner ink' that has been mentioned in the ink subsection. Of course if that fails it will be in an ultrasonic cleaning tray.

How do you like the faceted version? Superior or inferior to the classic rounded shape? I haven't been lucky yet to try and hold a faceted one. Does it post?

Of the various pens inspired to the motif of the classic column, yours is in my opinion one the more interesting shapes. I think that a version of this pen in a lighter color would have been simply fantastic!

I absolutely like faceted pens! And this one would have been one of my choice, if only had three or four rings less on the cap...

 

You have an extraordinary collection of Etrurias!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
