Pif For Snail Mail Lovers (Usa Only)

Love to send and receive mail?

Looking for some new inks and stationery to refresh your mail mojo?

 

This is for you.

 

I'll load up a padded USPS priority flat rate envelope with goodies for you. You promise to use them to write notes and letters. Maybe you have regular pen pals or are looking for new ones, are inspired to send thank yous to essential workers, want to write to your elected officials, would like to contribute to a letter writing project (like one of my personal favorites, Moreloveletters.com), etc.

 

Up for grabs for one winner:

 

  • 2 Platinum Preppy fountain pens. Both are 0.3 nibs. One will come with a black cartridge. The other has an o-ring and silicon grease on threads to be eye-droppered.
  • 6 autumn-themed ink samples of your choice from the list below.
  • A mix of other goodies: stationery, gel pens, post-its, etc.

 

To enter:

  • PM me with your full name and US mailing address. I will give you my mailing address.
  • The winner will then mail me a letter and cover postage of the package I'll send you.
  • (Optional) In the letter, include a bit about yourself. How you got into fountain pens and/or letter writing, how you're doing during these COVID days, other hobbies, etc. Doesn't need to be too personal--just a bit of introduction.
  • Include (in your intro PM or in the letter to me) your selection of inks.
  • Once I receive your letter, I will package up the goodies and send them off to you.

 

 

Ink options (pick 6):

Diamine Cocoa Shimmer

Diamine Caramel Sparkle*

Diamine Bilberry*

Diamine Red Dragon*

Diamine Deep Dark Orange*

Diamine Pumpkin

Monteverde Joy Sepia

Monteverde Moonstone

Monteverde Purple

Private Reserve Ebony Purple

Pelikan Edelstein Olivine

Taccia Golden Wheat

Noodler's Lexington Grey

Noodler's Old Manhattan Black

*=Currently on order from the UK. Selecting one of these means I won't be able to mail your package until I receive these. Hopefully not too much of a delay here ...

      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..

      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
