Were all Penman Sapphire ink made in the UK only? Had the Sapphire ever been produced in US or other countries? Are there any leads in getting the Penman Sapphire ink other than from ebay? Thanks for your info. in advance. Audra

Blue-ink fanatics might be interested in perusing "Pale Intrusions Into Blue: The Development Of A Color", by Hannah Rose Mendoza, a Master's thesis that traces "the development and use of the color blue in Western Europe and the United States." It's a fascinating if heavy read, but you can always...

The big, 8.5 x 11" wide-ruled white pages, hardcover, stitched binding, journal by Mead that I've been using for books & movies is no longer made and I have to hunt for another :(. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email. Please take out the trash before sending a direct reply.

I use a iron gallic ink in my M200. How can a ink manufacturer make his ink document proof without iron-gallic ingredients. What is in the nooders inks, they are good for documents and contracs. Alfred

On my immediate wishlist are the lamy al-star and the pelikan future silver. Sure, some may say I should go ahead and just order them, but I've been buying pen on an impulse and I think I'd rather wait a little and have something to look forward to, especially that they're not going anywhere. I...

It's got no instructions in the pack, nothing online, I see no obvious mechanism, I don't know where to pull... I can't find... ohh... nevermind... apparently a twist of the handle does it. Wooooooooooooo... this is one nice pen! Thick rubbergel handle, very comfortable, and very, very smooth...

Hello, I just noticed that the Sheaffer cartridges(made in Slovenia) included with my Sheaffer Javelin can only be inserted into the fountain pen one way. I have several boxes of older Sheaffer cartridges that may be inserted into the pen from either end. In addition the Sheaffer cartridges (from...

I recently came across a web site specializing in selling vintage Pelikans and other brands. One thing which caught my eye was that the owner will void his warranty for using Noodler's ink. But no explanation was given for this. Since I own a relatively new Pelikan M400 (about 1 yr. old) and...

As a kid fp s are what we had. I liked the pens. I liked to mess with the lever to fill it. I HATED to write with it, because I'm left handed and made a mess. I haven't played with fps sence 6th grade,but I got one coming from ebay. I surfed this polete group and got hooked. Don't know if l...

The build quality is scandalous; it looks glued together, quite badly, like those chinese products from the People's Republic of the 1980s. It's has a feeling of being rough around the edges, and not enough polish that even a Bic Crystal seems to have been better manufactured. It's not just the one...

Grp may recall my asking about Acme pens. I'd been contemplating a purchase as they have my favorite people. Namely Dogs, the Pen Quote, Chagall, F. Lloyd Wright. Clean bright designs on simplistic somewhat heavy pens. Not inexpensive. Designer pens so to speak. Pens heavy. Usual Taiwanese/Chinese...
