Schaeffer Calligraphy pen


Paul_LZ

Recommended Posts

One of my favourites. I think that it is the easiest pen from my lot  when it comes to writing, in a sense that it "obeys" me: I look at the nib, think of the letter I want to write and the pen, in my hand, does what I want it to do. I use it to write titles in my diary and todo list, and the ink colour, red, in cartridges, is just the correct tone. 

 

And a complete kit, of three pens and three different size nibs plus a lot of cartridges in different ink colours, costs around 23€!!!

 

I am attaching a handwritten sample In English and in Arabic, and a photo of the pen.

 

Here's a link to the kit:

Yes, these can be great pens. Their predecessor, the No Nonsense, was made for several decades and is known for having nibs with great feeds.

Yes.

Just proves that cheaper pens can also be great writing instruments.

I love writing with it.

Is this a new/modern one?

 

One of the things that first really interested me in fountain pens was my mom having a set based on the No-Nonsense. IIRC, it had 4-5 different nibs/sections of different widths.

 

Sheaffer really knows how to make a great inexpensive pen.

I am not familiar with the pen's history, but it is a fine pen and worth looking into if one is keen about calligraphy

I still use mine. Great pens.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I love the older No Nonsense calligraphy pens- I have one from an old set that I put a regular Sheaffer nib section in.Then I have two of the regular No Nonsense fountain pens.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
