Pop Survey by Bluesea
Since we've been on the topic of ink recently, another Pop Survey to correspond is appropriate. Question: What brand(s) of black, blue-black, blue, red, green, purple, and/or turquoise do you currently have loaded in your pen(s)? Me: Black - Noodler's in a Namiki Falcon & a Core, and Sheaffer in...

Nathan Tardif's sterling overlay pens by Andy Rothman
Although I have not posted here in some time, I had to publicly praise Nathan's sterling overlay work on two of my pens. The first is a Pelikan 100 with a snake clip, and the second a Waterman 56 with a wonderful, flexy nib. Nathan has turned these ordinary-looking pens into true works of art. ...

Parker Vacumatic Nibs by Jack Harrell
I've picked up several Parker Vacumatics and while I love the look of the pen, the nibs are horrible! There is one with a nib that is comfortable to write with...but it is not on my favorite of the Vacumatics. Can I just unscrew one nib and put it on the other? Or does this break some seal that...

Noodler's in Canada? by Txiasaeia
MAN, I've been asking a lot of questions :) Forgive my exuberance. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody knew of a retailer here in Canada that sold Noodler's ink. Unfortunately, US retailers tend to *ahem* overcharge us Canadians on cross-border purchases - it's not that USPS is expensive, but some...

Question - Parker with a glass converter? by Ada Ma
Hi Folks, Sorry I haven't posted in a long while - sort of gone off fountain pens because I simply spend too much on them for my kind of income. Yes, I know I sound like I have a fountain pen/ink addiction trying to clean up! I still use FPs from time to time (weekly) and I still have a website...

Pelikan 605? by Txiasaeia
Quick question - are there any differences between this pen and the Souveran 600, besides the colour and trim? Nib, body, etc. the same?

Ink flow by Wendell
I have a Aurora Ipsilon that I use daily. After a miserable experience with cartridges, I switched to using the converter and Mont Blanc's ink (available easily locally at the Beverly Center store). So far so good, but, I've noticed that the pen gets successively harder to write with unless I keep...

Sheaffer Snorkel repair? by Ron Wilbanks
While digging through my cousin's desk, I found a very, very good condition Sheaffer Snorkel fountain pen. My cousin said, "that old pen isn't worth anything, but if you like it you can have it." Not being one to turn down a free gift like this, I decided to bring it home and check it over. When...

Fountain Pen Identification by Edward
Hello, I need some help identifying two fountain pens, as I have only a little pen experience. The first is a waterman, in stainless steel with gold accents. The barrel is not tapered, and neither is the cap. With the cap on the pen, it is entirely cylindrical. With the pen closed, between...

Still, an interesting overview for adults as well. http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0921/p18s02-hfks.html For those who can read PDF...

Thanks to all by Rob Astyk
Hi, Folks, I have been receiving refund request letters from Stylophiles subscribers for a couple of weeks now and it's been a mixed lot, but not in the ways you might think. Only one person has been nasty or curt. Most folks start with a note about how much they enjoyed the magazine and how much...
