My daughter ordered it months ago, but it got stuck in France before making its way to NW Ark. The top row, you just flip up for easy access.  Holds 40 pens which means I need to fill it up!

it is a lovely piece, is it made in France? 

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

I'm assuming so since that is where my daughter told me it was stuck. 

She was a bit upset since it was scheduled to be delivered before Christmas. She let me know on 2023-12-30 that it was just leaving France. Kind of shocked how quickly it got here considering the holidays.

That is a cool box.  The dividers poking through to the front is an interesting design idea.  If somebody had described that to me I would have cringed, but from the picture it looks really nice.

The center divider is actually just the handle used to pull the drawers out. 

My adult daughter who lives in WA just understands my weird hobby of paper and fountain pens. She actually got most of my notebooks as well and has her own notebook paper quirks that I get.  She is the one who got me hooked on Tomoe River, Leuchtturm 1997 and Midori paper. 

Meanwhile, my wife got me finger gloves with lights in them so that I can check on the brisket on the slow cooker in the middle of the night. They look like I'm trying to pretend that I'm spider man. I am making a collection over the years of weird gifts from her!

The box is such a thoughtful gift: the pleasure of choosing pens to  fill it and many years of use beyond that.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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.

      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.
