I didn't know there was a comment section in that place.

 It seems that the entire lineup of white feather self-fill fountain pens has been revealed. I saw 136 on ebay.

 According to the definition of another Type 28 thread link article, these White Feather self-fill fountain pens seem to be classified as "Type 73".

 

Because the editors in Hubei chose a model which local sellers were familar with.

 

By the way, the livedoor blog with odd Japanese articles is my blog.

Hello.

 

 I got the feeling that you were probably a member of FPN.

 I would like to read your posts and blog posts to understand Chinese vintage writing tools.

 

 I understand that "Type 28" is a generalized fountain pen classification.

 "Type 73" was introduced with a focus on interest in "meaning that such a classification exists".

 Is the classification of that article a mixture of generalized ones and those advocated by authors or editors?

I can not draw such a conclusion.

 

Because only the book mentioned such a type of self-filling pens. It is not clear whether the classification was acccepted or not.

 

At the beginning, pens were classified by shape. So Type26/28 and Type 201 are easy to be reconized and Type 26/28 were accepted as a general type in good code by commercial system.

 

Then, filling systems were considered.

 

A prototype based on Parker 61 made by Wolff(200 Hero) or Rockman(Rockman 66 protype) was considered as Type 201 in far older document.

I see.

 I posted about "Type 73" in the sense of asking for a negative or affirmative reply.

 Because I did a little research on the self-fill fountain pen, but the name was never used anywhere.

 Nevertheless, that article was categorized.

 A little question arose in me.

 Thank you for giving us a valid interpretation.

 

 Please tell me various things again.

Parker Quink is not a carbon ink. Nor is it pigment based.

Yes, but possible users of two old Parker inks should be aware that Super Chrome is dangerous for most any pen and the later Parker Penman, while loved by many, especially Sapphire, is so highly saturated it’s not advised for any pen you value. 
 

I don’t know about ‘Super Quink’ which was advertised as Super Chrome’s successor, but I’d certainly around ask before using it. 
 

I do use very old Waterman, Sheaffer, and Parker inks. I’d use an ancient bottle of any mild ink like Hero’s. As long as there’s not a strange smell or ‘ink snot’ forming in the bottle, it’s generally safe to use.

I recorded a video of a White Feather 72 filling water, and edited it to 10x speed. 

 

 

The water absorption demonstration is also amazing, but the demonstrator model is even more amazing.

 

 Is it an excavation?

 Or did you find a mold and make a new one?

I guess it was a non-sale product that the factory provided to the store to show the structure, similar to Parker and Sheaffer.

      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
