Hi: Any suggestions on how to clean a pelikan nib? I generally take the nib off a pen and leave it in a glass of water or cleaning solution but this doesn't seem like an option with pelikan.

If you are a member of the Long Island Pen Club, please go to the Long Island Pen Club yahoo group to discuss whether the snowy weather will cause a cancellation and rescheduling of this Thursday's (1/27) meeting. A few of our regular members who attend each meeting have said they prefer to read...

I need some pens I lost all my doctors pens ands would like to get some from people and business pens if you can help me please let me know thanks rl

I'm in two minds as to whether to buy a Montblanc 146 or a Pelikan 800. I prefer fine nibs in general, because I have quite small writing. Smoothness of writing is definitely the most important consideration for me, as well as general reliability. I'm attracted by the prestige of Montblanc but...

With all the talk about Nathan's new American Eel and Polar Black inks, thought you might like to see what these new inks look like. The top half of the swatch samples were done with the fountain pens that I currently have filled with these inks. The scan is a little large, but hopefully you...

The Polar Black ink has been tested by many people throughout the arctic as well as many of our northern states (sometimes as low as -54F in Minn.)....nobody was able to get it to freeze in natural conditions (which were at times more than severe in the arctic). Laboratory freezers reached -110.2...

Looks like we have more snow coming tonight. So far the meeting is on for Thursday night. Usual time, usual place. The theme is pen videos. Pass the popcorn. Nancy

Ok, how come I am not getting all the messages, why are some of my posts not showing up for hours or days, why are there zillions of subjects with the same title, etc? Is something wrong with my AOL (surprise!) or with Usenet? ACCCCCCKKKK!!!! satrap

Could those here who know please advise me if there is anything special to removing a Pelikan nib from its feed? Early as well as recent nibs. Thanks

Is there a location or listing showing top 5-10 fountain pens for general use where price is an issue? What is the general concensus of quality? Thanks, RdT

I've just concluded, at my loss, an eBay purchase from Montgomery Stationery of New York. If you choose to buy from them, use caution. They shipped me the wrong pen TWICE and then became rude and difficult when I tried to correct the problem. I now see that they were the subject...

I'm thinking of buying a gold Parker Sonnet Dimonite with an 18k solid gold nib from Ebay. The price is good and I understand that these pens are no longer manufactured. Is this a good pen? How does it compare to the high-end MB, Pelikan, Waterman? Thanks.

Does anyone have access to a good source of information on the variety of patterns the Targa was produced in? Andy Lambrou's book is pretty good, but by no means comprehensive as I have several Targas in patterns not described by Andy. These include an Imperial Sterling Silver (as opposed to...

I am looking for a Sheaffer Feather Touch 500 cap, in Carmine red. If you have one you'd be willing to sell, please advise of condition and price. Please estimate shipping if outside the USA. Thanks x-- 100 Proof News - http://www.100ProofNews.com x-- 3,500+ Binary NewsGroups, and over...

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

Does anyone know where to find Waltraud Bethge Papiere ink in the Northeast US, or online/via mail order? I'm running out of Lotosblaue (which I understand they will soon stop making if they haven't already) and would like another bottle.... Thanks for the help, -Mike, Philadelphia

It's a gift, I know.
