Help With Info About A Platinum 3776

June 9, 2019

Hi, Can anyone help me with info about this Platinum 3776? I have Googled ever description of it I can think of and cannot find info. I think it's celluloid. Was it a limited edition? When was it made?. Is there a model name other than 3776? Any help would be great. Thanks, BOB

June 9, 2019

It is one of the earlier 3776 models. Pattern was called pine needles if I recall. Came in two colors. Platinum stopped making them in the late 1990s. Seemed concurrent when they changed their formula for celluloid. Yes, real celluloid. Quite rare and very collectible today.

Wow, that is one sweet 3776!

June 12, 2019

OMG! it is so beautiful. It is the first time I see that pattern in Platinum pen

@speerbob Hi!

According to the "Fountain Pens of Japan" book , the 3776 series was introduced by Platinum in 1978, and the photo attached here describes a series of special finish 3776 designs from 1992- 1994, this is the only reference I found that is in any way close to the pine needle design .

The reference to the celluloid pattern models says there were 6 colors, including the Koi and Tortoise shell, and they were introduced in 1987.

  Apparently it takes some sort of broad-edged nib to draw the strokes and finials (or serifs) for Songti and Mingti; but the orientation of the edge seems to rotated 45° or thereabouts clockwise, which...

  If you bought it from amazon, contact amazon. They will take care of it...
- A Smug Dill 3 May 6:18
  @Kari Homan Shannon Platinum, as with the other major Japanese fountain pen brands, do not offer standalone or replacement nibs (or nib units, or gripping sections complete with nib and feed) as retail products. I have never heard of a retailer or repairer offering to source a second, spare, or replacement nib unit with which to supply its direct customer on demand, either.
- A Smug Dill 3 May 6:14
  @Kari Homan Shannon That almost beggars belief! You ordered a pen with a specific nib option, and the seller sends you a pen that is without a nib? Outrageous!
- Kari Homan Shannon 3 May 6:02
  I ordered a century 3776 burgoine in double broad, but ordered it used off amazon for a better price. When I received it there was no nib, and the company that sold it, said they won't / can't ship just a nib, that I'll have to return it and pay full price for a new pen. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement, or does anyone have any course (double broad) nibs for this pen that will work? I've already emailed luxurybrandsusa but thought I'd see if anyone else knew where to look?

  I got an old style Sailor 1911s in H-MF (Hard Mofo) nib. I am blown away. I did not enjoy the Pro Gear model, but this one is sweet.
- A Smug Dill 19 Apr 3:49
  @Arizona Slim I'm aware that Pilot Pen does not appear to officially distribute the C742 in the US, but that should mean if one is contemplating getting the C742 there, it would be either a grey import, or ordered directly from overseas, so there is no reason not to look at getting the CH912 in the same way. That should stop the CH912 from being much more expensive than the C742 in fair comparison.
- A Smug Dill 19 Apr 3:49
  @Arizona Slim The Pilot Custom 742 and Custom Heritage 912 have the same MSRP in Japan. The RRP (i.e. MSRP) for the models in Australia are not published by Pilot, but one of the listed authorised retailers have the CH912 listed quite a bit cheaper than the C742.
- Arizona Slim 19 Apr 0:27
  I'm between a Pilot 912 with either an FA or Stub nib and a Pilot 742 with either a FA or stub nib. The 742 is much less expensive. I had a Falcon but the nib was not very flexible. Is the FA nib on either of these two pens more akin to a flex nib or would the stub nib be better for a caligraphic effect?
- A Smug Dill 18 Apr 17:25
  @Jacqueline W. If you're able to find stock of the old Visconti Dreamtouch leather cases (for 1, 2, 3, 6, or 12 pens), I can vouch that they're wonderful, and hold large pens such as the Platinum Izumo Tamenuri with ease. (I'm not sure if Visconti offers new/‘replacement’ models.) Failing that, maybe try an Esterbrook Pen Nook; but I'm still waiting to receive mine, before I can comment on the quality.
- Jacqueline W. 18 Apr 16:29
  Hello everyone: can someone recommend me a good quality leather case for one single fountain pen (or 2 up to 5 pens) in which I could store oversize pens such as the Ranga Splendor model (Length capped: 17cm/ 6.7”; Width at section: 1.4cm/0.55”)? I'm having a hard time finding the adequate case... Thanks so much!

  I have been looking for a Kaweco Fountain Pen that was released prior to me getting into the community. The color I'm trying to purchase is the Yellow Kaweco Sunrise that was a collaboration with Fontoplumo. It was suggested that I reach out to the network here. If you have one you are open to selling me or know someone or some place that has either, please let me know.

- HauntedMyst 13 Apr 20:38
  @HauntedMyst Doh! Can’t paste a pic in here 🤪
- Kari Homan Shannon 13 Apr 20:37
  @hauntedmyst lol very welcome.... It's totally easy to have 400$ in samples. I would stay away from any "soapberry" colors as they tend to clump, and your fluorescents will need to be pre-wet with rubbing etoh, so probably avoid those too. The "lakes" are actual stains, so I would say stick with micas and you should be good, and maybe test in "cheap" pen first....=)
- HauntedMyst 13 Apr 20:36
  @Kari Homan Shannon this is some Herbin Vert de Atlantic with Pearl Ex. You can see it it quite glittery.
- HauntedMyst 13 Apr 19:22
  @Kari Homan Shannon Thanks for TKB tip! It is much cheaper! I'll give it a shot. They have some amazing colors.
- Kari Homan Shannon 13 Apr 8:16
  @a smug dill Thanks!!! I'm new enough I've never heard of pennonia, so I'm off to wander down that rabbit hole!!!! 😃 Thanks for the info!!! I literally have pounds of micas from when I used to make and sell nail polish though, so I should probably start with what I already own!!!! hahaha
- Kari Homan Shannon 13 Apr 8:14
  @hauntedmyst BWAHAHA.... OMG I totally just saw that happening in my head. I mixed one tonight. It's pretty in a wet/bent nib, but I think I was still a little heavy handed because it seems quite dry now, so I might have to dial it back a bit.... You can get micas from tkb and sample sizes at that, and they are much cheaper than pearl-ex.... Just fyi.... I really appreciate the help and the cuticle pusher idea, is awesome, and exactly the kind of guidance / expertise I need... THANK YOU!!!
- A Smug Dill 13 Apr 3:10
  Pennonia sells shimmer additives that are specifically for fountain pen use. That does not answer the question of particle size, or other physical and chemical properties of the shimmer particles, but there is really no need to, if one only wants to result of adding visual interest to some subjectively dull inks. That is the obvious solution, and one that deliberately doesn't worry about trying to control from which supplier, the breadth of types, the cost of acquisition, etc.
- HauntedMyst 13 Apr 2:09
  @Kari Homan Shannon I've used Pearl Ex pigments and they worked very well. I mixed them up in 5ml tester bottles. It's hard to describe how little you need. I use a cuticle trimmer tool and only use the last little edge of the tool to pick it up. Don't sneeze, the pigment gets everywhere!
- Kari Homan Shannon 12 Apr 19:25
  @sailor lol. Indeed. I think maybe the shimmer I was trying to use was hydrophobic, so I might try just a smidge of dish soap or something to break the surface tension.
- Sailor Kenshin 11 Apr 20:41
  @kari…and you have to shake like mad!
- Kari Homan Shannon 10 Apr 19:36
  @sailor, thanks for the reply.... what I've tried so far has only sat on top of the solution, instead of even integrating enough _to_ settle... I will try artists pigment, thanks!!!
- Sailor Kenshin 10 Apr 18:20
  Kari, even the commercial shimmer inks separate. In the past I've used artist shimmer pigment and even loose eye shadow!

  Hi everyone, I'm new as of a day ago, I'm from Texas, and have been using fp's long enough that I remember trying to use food coloring in high school!!! Lol. Now I'm interested in adding shimmer / glitter to some of my more unappealing inks, and was wondering if 1) does anyone know what nm/particle size and 2) how to get it to incorporate into the suspension vs just sitting on top? Thanks for any info, and glad to meet fellow fp'ers. 😃

  @seahorse412 Welcome to FPN. If you want to ask about Kaweco pens in particular, then https://www.fountainpennetwor...rum/143-other-brands-europe/ is probably the best place to put your question in front of the 'right' eyeballs.

  @Kari Homan Shannon Even Colorverse only published particle size information for its pigment inks, but not glistening/shimmer inks. (I think it has stopped doing even that for new pigment inks in its Office series.)
- A Smug Dill 8 Apr 4:44
  @Kari Homan Shannon Please do start a new topic in https://www.fountainpennetwor...rum/forum/31-introductions/, it's what that subforum is for. As far particle size, few ink manufacturers publish that information, and I don't know too many enthusiasts with both the equipment and the keenness to take and publish measurements of their own.
- Kari Homan Shannon 7 Apr 22:17

  @artist102 use the brand name forums, where you can post a picture of the pens you have. Collectors of those brand will be able to tell if something is amiss, but for a thorough evaluation and best value, you might want to buy the best reference book for each brand.

Thanks
- InkyKitten 18 Mar 16:27
  @A Smug Dill thanks for letting me know. I'm constantly concerned about this, as I don't have many opportunities to use my non-black-ink fountain pens, so I worry about the inks inside them going bad
- A Smug Dill 18 Mar 15:10
  @InkyKitten Ink can indeed age and change in its performance just by being in a pen’s ink reservoir for “too long”. Usually it is through evaporation, which can still happen even if a pen is properly capped. Other things too can happen to some inks; for example, iron-gall content may become oxidised and/or precipitate out. In case you’re going to ask, there is no simple, generic, measured answer to, “How long is ‘too long’?” that applies to all inks in all pens.
- Mercian 17 Mar 13:22
  @andyv108 I don’t know whether any such list exists. I doubt that companies publcly name their ‘sub-contractors’. In any case, it would need to be updated every time any company changed its ink supplier. If you want to know about a particular ink, you might be able to find out by asking ‘Does anybody know which company makes ink x for company ‘y?’ on the ‘Inky Thoughts forum.
- andyv108 17 Mar 2:01
  Can someone direct me to the list that indicates the source company for ink brands that don't manufacture their own?

- Mercian 15 Mar 16:57
  @InkyKitten I advise you to start a thread on one of the boards here about the problem that you are having with your pen. It gives us more space to ask questions & then give answers that will enable you to solve your problem.

  There is a thread on here from 2007 that said that Creeks N Creeks pens were a 1950s brand that was made under licence by Stypen. If that’s correct, I would expect them to take the same carts as 1950s Stypen pens did. I personally have no idea what those were. Sorry.

  @Detman101 The problem with the images in which @rmuth is interested, is that I don't think @caliken's Photobucket account is ‘active’ any more; or Ken may have intentionally removed those images from Photobucket's servers at some point. Requesting those images by putting the URLs directly into the browser's address bar results in a broken-image placeholder. If the previously hosted images have been removed, then there is no getting around the obstacle to access.
- A Smug Dill 1 Mar 19:15
  @Detman101 That's not really the point of @rmuth's request, though; and it's not true that Photobucket is denying access to unpaid uploads. See https://www.fountainpennetwor...ges-from-early-fpn-reviews/; Photobucket images previously embedded in FPN posts by hotlinking can still be retrieved today, provided they're still actually hosted there.

- hood Today 23:01
  @Jean-ClaudeF It's an example sold in the Italian market, there was a period where counterfeit Parkers in Italy becaome a problem and Parker started stamping pens with a serial number and supplying with a certificate of authenticity which had the matching serial number printed on it. I have seen examples of the P45, P75, P85, P61 and P51 with these sort of serial numbers on them sold in Italy.
- Mercian Today 1:16
  Codes on the grip-section of a 45? My guess would be that a previous owner had the number added. No numbers were engraved on grip-sections by Parker.
- 3manypens 2 Feb 19:45
  Serial numbers were associated with service warranties. Schaffer's white dot upsell should be similar. My guess is an upcharge was paid for free servicing as needed.

Hi Bob.

Here’s my post from 2008 that answers your question. (Sorry for being late to the party).

It sounds like you found a Platinum PTB-30000, one of the celluloid ringu or ring pens. There are a couple displayed in the catalog library at Platinum Place's website:

I have the cha ringu or brown (tea-colored) ringed version #23. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine!
