Super-sized Sailor ink cartridges


awa54

Recommended Posts

I got a non-standard, oversized ink cart in a vintage Sailor pen a few years back (sorry, no pictures right now as I'm in the middle of a move and haven't got easy access to my collection right now). It's both longer and larger diameter than a normal Sailor cart and somewhat like the Pilot CON 70, doesn't fit in the space of a regular cartridge, so only specific models would have been able to use them.

 

Does anyone know what models used this cartridge (aside from the one I have) and how long they were made/supported?

So many restoration projects...

I  look forward to seeing the picture when you find the pens again  .... or if someone else has them.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I wonder if they were competitors for the extra long Platinum cartridges used in the Honest 66 model, which was introduced in 1961? Maybe look at early 1960s Sailors models?

I received a box of the long Platinums along with some other parts for various pens a few months ago and I couldn't figure out what they were for until recently - they wouldn't fit my vintage 3776s - only my Preppies. These long Platinum cartridges are 75 mm long but otherwise have the same dimensions as normal Platinum cartridges. 

 

The pictures below are all Platinum blue black cartridges - the long, Honest 66 one (the ink has a Payne's grey kind of color, possibly faded from aging?), the normal one, current ones from Platinum in China (which will not fit Platinum pocket pens with the tapered barrel - even though it is shorter than the normal one the diameter is too wide), and associated packaging.

      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
