what about the Vanishing Point/Capless

Recommended Posts

I wanna know what their history is. Albeit fairly short by comparison to the brand as a whole. Andreas Lambrou doesn't go into detail on the pen except to say that it was first produce in 1964 with underwhelming response. Then came back in the 70s. it certainly seems to be a very popular pen. This is the first pen (other than my precious birds) I can see myself actually accumulating in different finishes. Raden, black carbonesque, solid blue with rhodium accents...

 

anyone know more about the design changes along the way? did it bite in the first round? :D

Japanese Pilot Capless package

 

Sounds like Japanese Capless package has a history/timetable of the pen. Does yours have that? Well, I just found the bigger photo, and it's just a general history of pen, I guess.

 

I can do more search in Japanese later this week and let you know. I also have two Japanese pen books on order. When they arrive I will look for info on Capless :)

      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
