Dear friends, here the current pen list. Greetings from Germany, Werner Werner Kleinhorst Enter-Net Pen Auctions

I seek list of YOB's, year of birth pens. 1952 to be exact. Time dates this baby boomer one foot firmly in middle agehood, other tryuing to avoid the pitfalls of the grave and lifes's temptations ;-) But pens and stuff keep us young(ish) and out of mischief. Have a couple. Would like to...

Leaks terribly.

I purchased this Waterman Carene Roller Ball on eBay. It is in brand new condition, except for the following two issues: 1. The golden tip on top of the barrel (part that screws in to the lower part of the pen) is loose and wiggles from side to side. 2. The cap won't stay posted on top of the...

Was wondering if there is much of a market for Steel Fineline nibs? I ran across a few in an auction and don't know if they are worth trying to sell as I only need a couple for my one Fineline. I've not seen any for sale recently on E-bay but I know that's not the only outlet in the...

No prob. Pens made to use. Both you and your wife's are good entry level fp's. "PalmUser" wrote in message ... My wife is the new owner of a Waterman Phileas (and me, a Waterman Charleston) and both of us are being too careful,...

Dear friends, Just to let you know that the new ISP server went down today, Donal has switched back to the prior server, but this may take several more hours. It is very unexpected, and Donal sends his regrets. Please pass this note on to anyone else who may inquire to you about...

Hi all, I received this pen in a raffle at work, and I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying the manufacturer or source: http://home.earthlink.net/~tfkerin/pen-1.jpg

You asked about visiting the schools. I would apply and see if you get in first. Both Vanderbilt and Boston College are hard to get into. Once you get in you should visit them. For now you don't have that much time as you need a good score on the MAT exam to get in. Hopefully, you have signed...

This month's Discover magazine lists October 30th as the 115th anniversary of the patenting of "a marking device with a spheroid point able to revolve in all directions" (a.k.a. the ballpoint pen) by John J. Loud of Weymouth, Mass. I'd be interested to hear those more knowledgeable weigh in with...

Sigh... my Aurora Optima blue marble rolled off from the top of a plastic container as I slammed shut one of the drawers... and now there's a crack on its barrel. it's not leaking or anything, but it has a crack... ahhhhhh...... this is bad...

Well, the m600 I bought on eBay shipped yesterday. To say I am giddy with anticipation is to understate my feelings. But $60 for a pen with an 18k M nib I thought it was worth the chance. Now I just hope it works. Which brings me to my question: I have grown to like the PR inks, but I am not sure...

Just got back from ten days away, dropped oldest son off at college, and saw something unusual at a stationery store. At a stationery/art store, they had some Clairefontaine books. One was different than any I had ever seen before. The outside was the same, but the inner pages had horizontal...

Could anyone tell me something about the pro and cons of celluloid? Is it strong, does it last et cetera? Any information will be welcome. Regards, Ko
