This is a lighter from S. T. Dupont from the 1990s,  model "ligne D".


@yubaprof, you are right!

 

Do I get a prize for my correct answer? By the way, that is a very nice photo. The elegance of the objects in it is enhanced by your lighting and composition.

The prize will be next time :)

 

Thank you. The pen is very shiny, it is difficult to take a photo without having white spots on the bright parts of the photo.

  That’s a lovely pairing, @Tashi_Tsering! I love the slim pens from that time period. I should try to find a nice pipe lighter, but that’s probably for a different forum.

Thanks! I also like slim pens from the 70-80s, but as a collector. I prefer to use thicker pens.

  I’m the opposite, love writing with the slim, small pens, but l admire the large pens.

Rare Streamlined Montblanc Meisterstuck L30 (1931-34) Push Knob Filler. 
 

The pen is in fair condition. I collect Montblanc pens, so I am very pleased with the purchase.

Beautiful.  That would make a dynamite reissue.

Not exactly today, but earlier in the week, although I only unboxed it on Saturday:

and since then:

Stunning. Were my hands more skilled I’d invest in a Naginata nib. Alas, it would be like putting me in Hamilton’s race car, just wadded up in Turn 1 😉

Will work for pens... :unsure:

  I ended up with a few new ones today after hanging out with my friends at the pen club. 
 

  First, I saw this little Salz at the PNW Pen Show, but I didn’t have a chance to take it home that day. Luckily, the exhibitor is a local friend, and so I was able to ask them to bring it to the next meeting for me. It’s the smallest of my mini pens, shown next to my M800 for reference:

  Then, my friend Stewart had a bunch of pens for sale, among them some beautiful Eversharp Skylines. I finally have a train pen, with a fine flexible nib to boot!

    I was making my way around the room, not intending to get any more pens, but another member and I were looking at a safety pen that he was trying to fix, and he also had a few pens priced to sell. I ended up with a  blue cloissoné pen and a Waterman Red Ripple 52 1/2. large.IMG_1182.jpeg.bc35531fdd804f2d0e0b25295f897657.jpeg

Wow, @A Smug Dill- what a gorgeous ebonite pen, worthy of that Naginata concorde nib.

Wow, That Salz is gorgeous.  😀👍  Gold Overlay?

You have such nice pens !!!!

Is that a wrap around nib on the blue one?  What brand is it?

  Thank you! The Salz is 18k overlay,  and the Cloissoné pen says “GSP”  on the clip, and <GS> on the nib, that has a similar construction to the Platinum Wing Flow nib.

I got a TWSBI Diamond Mini AL Grape with 1.1mm stub nib today. I filled it with Wearingeul’s F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby ink, which was a gift from a friend.

      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
