PELIKAN SCHOOL PEN


FP Writing

Recommended Posts

Hello

:rolleyes: find a bit of time to do this short review of the 140.

It was in my rotation for quite a few years now. This 140 has a short hand nib, quite flexy to a certain extent.

Though a small pen, it is to every degree a perfect performer for what a pen suppose to be.

Nice work, amazing pen. I however doubt that these were issued in many schools since the Pelikan 140 cost in the early 1960s in finland over 2300 fin marks which is roughly 380€ :o

How flexible, really, is the nib for this pen? I see a seller online naming this as a flexible nib. Is it as flexible or even more flexible than say a Pilot Custom 742 Falcon nib? Or is this Pelikan really only semiflexible?

The pelikan has a few tyes of nib. Vintage nibs to me experience is more to the wet side.

This EF nib is comparable to the 742 Pilot custom. So i can consider this as flexible nib. But again, the 140 can come with different nib types.s

      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
