Platinum 3776 Century


writepen

Recommended Posts

The 3776 Century Fountain Pen celebrates the 100-year anniversary of Platinum Pen's founding in 1919. In 1978, the 3776 model was launched, based on the height of Mount Fuji.

A unique feature is the "Slip & Seal" mechanism which prevents drying out of ink in the pen. Additionally, the secure cap is screw-type which contributes to the air-tightness.
The focal point is the ultra-smooth, 14k broad nib, and, along with ink flow, were carefully designed by Platinum. The result is memorable, enjoyable writing. Cartridge/Converter Filling System. Note that Japanese nibs produce a thinner line than Western nibs thus the broad point is equivalent to a medium. I chose the Laurel Green finish and purchased from penchalet.com. They offer many 3776 color options and at an attractive price. I continue to refer friends to this dependable Dealer/Retailer.

Is this an advertisement? It reads like one.

 

Pen chalet wouldn't advertise like this though. We just have some people here with... interesting? writing styles.

 

This is just how this user writes his reviews. They're all generally formatted with a simple review and where they were purchased from. He's done laban, pen chalet, and another company, so he's not just some review bot.

I'm not so sure that the broad 3776 writes like a western medium though. Mine writes like a fairly broad western broad.

My broad is like a slightly fat western M.

 

My Coarse is a big fat juicy double broad though.

The 3776 Century Fountain Pen celebrates the 100-year anniversary of Platinum Pen's founding in 1919.

Platinum has been selling #3776 Century pen models for years, and the 'Century' designation has nothing to do with the 100th anniversary of the company.

This is the Market Watch forum, so what is Pen Chalet's price for a particular model, and how does it compare to the prices at which other retailers are selling that model?

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

My broad is rather slender and likes to cook me dinner.

i, on the other hand, am more narrow minded. I prefer extra fine.

Some of us prefer them tuned that way.

This post was moved to market watch, Gil. It was in reviews.

Definitely makes more sense in Reviews or even Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
