Note on tine alignment and polishing by virgiliopoeta
To tell if your tines are aligned properly, do this. Make a series of downstrokes from right to left /////. Then make a series of downstrokes from left to right \\\\\. Compare the two series. Assuming your nib is not an italic of course, the two series should be of equal darkness and thickness. If...

Resaccing note by virgiliopoeta
If you're resaccing a pen, get the biggest sac that will fit in the barrel, then choose a sac one size smaller to actually use. The biggest sac that will go in the barrel will often expand just enough once you glue it in, to make it difficult to get the barrel free of the section again, should you...

If your pen writes too dry by virgiliopoeta
Do this. Get a 3cc veterinary syringe and fill it with a cc or so of Ivory or Ajax dish detergent. Drop 1 or 2 tiny drops of the detergent into one bottle of ink, standard 57 ml/cc size. If you like a really wet pen like I do, add up to 5 drops. In my experience almost any ink will write sweeter...

I have two fountain pens with fine nibs (a Duke and a Cross Centry II) and two with medium nibs (both watermans). I find the find nibs a bit "scratchy" on some types of paper (I take notes on yellow pads), and sometimes they "skip", where as I don't find this with the medium nibs. Is this normal...

Another Interesting Sheaffer - The Stainless Cap TM Sovereign by [email protected]
Fellow Collectors, Andy Evans of Andy's Pens kindly loaned me one of his several examples of an early 1950s Thin Model Sheaffer Sovereign. Until I first heard about his find, I had thought that the TM Sovereign was an all plastic cap and barrel model similar to the TM Statesman, but without a...

O/T Inexpensive art supplies in LA? by [email protected]
I need to donate a bunch of supplies in an Adopt-a-Family for Christmas type of thing and I don't have a lot of money. The kids are various ages, so I was thinking everything from crayons to pencils and maybe even chalk. And large quanities of paper as well. I'd like to give each kid their own...

Too much ink... by Mike Simanyi
I have a Pelikan 805 that I purchased new in September, and I had the manufacturer re-nib it with an Extra Fine nib after finding the Fine nib creates a very broad stroke for me. My ink problem doesn't relate to flow while writing, but rather with ink buildup and, ultimately, drips because too much...

SATRAP and others, too! Best orange fountain pen inks? by Juhapekka Tolvanen
I just got my first orange fountain pen. I think I'll order some orange fountain pen ink soon. But which one I should choose? It must be dark enough. Hence, I think I'd better get red-orange and not yellow-orange. Also some kind of burnt orange may be good. Please tell me your opinions and...

Sheaffer Skrip Kings Gold by Andy Dingley
I saw some odd Sheaffer Skrip today in an unfamiliar bottle. Is this the older "German" Skrip, rather than the modern "Slovenian" Skrip? The one I'm familiar with (Slovenian?) is a conical glass bottle with a small cap, packaged in a clear plastic box. This one had a larger cap and was in a dark...

Parker Duofold Question by Cliff Reynolds
I have been shopping for a Parker Duofold Centennial fountain pen. I notice that some Centennials have a Duofold emplem on the cap, and some do not. Why is this? Is there a quality difference? Are both genuine if everything else is in order? Any help that you can offer would be greatly...
