There is a way to avoid that...

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

I lose WAY more than I win on eBay.  I sometimes refer to myself as the seller's friend.  There are so many pens out there, that everyone gets the one they want eventually.  There are few pens that make me froth at the mouth enough to forget the price, but it's been known to happen.

What would cause froth to form?

A white A101 might do it.

These are two examples made in Brazil. If I'm not mistaken, a CJ and another LJ.

They need a little affection. Their turn will come when the repair queue moves a little.

So is the A101 a rare model? I only found one on ebay after a quick search.

 

I see there's also a cartridge model that presumably would not be recommended. (at least my Waterman CF has a 3rd party converter available)

Belo vermelho!

It was made in the late 1950s. The colors offered here in Brazil were very beautiful. I will look for some pictures of friends to give an idea of the color palette. These are mine, but they are neglected.

The A101 isn't really rare, and yes, there is the CA101 that uses cartridges.

 

It's the white one that I have only heard of one that exists....and guess who has it?  😎

I’d guess me but I have two, one of each.

I should add that one is horribly stained with red ink so don’t feel bad.

And you would guess right.  If you ever want to part with the clean one, let me know.

For that matter...either one.  😎

Put it on eBay first, and I will shill bid for you. (For a 20% cut) He’s already admitted he will pay just about any price for one.😈

Dubonnet Red LJ with Montblanc Encre du Desert. Just picked it up to use after about 10 days and perfect as always. It's a darker ink than I usually have in this pen, but I've enjoyed it more than I expected.

After a few weeks of other pens, I have an Esterbrook back in my pocket.  The nib is a really nice frosted 9460.

This one arrived today, I will need to make an adjustment to the nib, but it is well maintained.

      My thoughts on sharing ink samples by post

      By halffriedchicken · Posted

      Not sure if this has been suggested already but would a setting for localized regions or chapters in FPN be helpful? I don't know if there is a way to find local FPN members who would be nearby. I don't know if we want to be discoverable but a setting to know how many members are in 25, 50, or a 100 miles of each other might be helpful. We can create a regions specific network like Craigslist where people could use that to connect with nearby members, conduct in person sales, arrange FPN meetups

      I read your blog post and all the replies with much interest. I'm a FP user in Australia. Been part of this forum for years but rarely post. I did come across your ink sharing thread and considered participation. For me it's not lack of interest but lack of time to play around with FP and inks. I'd feel bad to put my hand up for the box and just have it sit until gosh knows when...   I also think that the FP community in Australia is smaller, and I wonder how many in the community are

      Even so, you'd end up with a fragmented list, and it becomes an O(N²) process for each prospective requestor to check what is available: effectively recreate the list of currently active servers (without any reliable up-to-date info upfront about the inks and number of samples on offer in the thread) from the sequential list of posts, which may be spread over two or even more pages, and then query each server independently to check what is currently on offer.   It comes down to not hav

      If one wanted to do this, one could just use the "About Me" field which appears to be unlimited in size.  And if a bunch of people wanted to cooperate, the Member Title field (or signature) could be used to this end - "Ink Giver" (or some such) could be used by those with inks to give...  No software edits required.
