Hello, I was browsing nibs.com and at this link http://www.nibs.com/index.html?http://www.nibs.com/PelikanM800Series.htm , it mentioned that the silver trim series might be discontinued. I was wondering if there are any basis of truth to this or if anyone knows anything about it. I really like...

Can anyone shed some light of a particular Rotring Tintenkuli demonstrator I have had for a while? I haven't seen another like it and have no idea of its vintage, model number, etc. Link below. Thanks in advance for any...

This is a Brand new mint, Pilot Crystal. I have a few of these. They are brand new, never used, with sticker on the pen and in box. This is a fairly new model from the last 4-5 years I think but I know it's not in the 2001+ catalogs since I have them. Nice pink-ish translucent pen with gold...

Subject it the whole thing.

Were there any standards in effect when earlier mechanical pencils first appeared? I just bought a Sampson Mordan pre 1850 pencil and am wondering what size lead it takes. What about pencils from 1900-1950? If anyone knows where to find this information, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I think...I think that I may have won a new convert over to fountain pens. On Thursday, I happened to mention to a lady friend that writing w/ a fp is easier than writing w/ a bp because no pressure is needed to get the ball rolling and I let her try an XF Sheaffer Viewpoint and a med. Namiki...

I like thick pens and am thinking of adding one of the pens shaped like a thick, multi-section bamboo shoot. Has anyone written with one (any manufacturer) and formed an opinion for or against? Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels...

Suggestions on which is best ultrasonic for old pens, as well as some do's and don't advice (I've already look at Vintage pen source, thanks). TIA, Stuart

Hello all, I got this pen set awhile back and have no use for it. Selling it so I can contribute to my Pelikan M805 fund :D. Take a look! Thanks! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14001&item=2234551827 HK

I've googled until I'm Florida Blue in the face, looking for a recommendation for a journal or notebook (not larger than 8.5 X 11 inches or so) with paper that will not feather (PR ink) or show through significantly, preferably bound so that it will lay flat. (I use an XF usually, BTW, with very...

Anyone know anything about the construction of the Lamy 2000 fountain pen? I have a couple problems with one. Dean

This is a nice little pen with a very high Japanese cute-ness factor. This is the little Pilot Birdie fountain pen. This is the old model and the new model, the new one is in stainless steel only. The Birdie was ever sold in the US. It's only 4-5/8" long and a thin 9mm in diameter (but not as...

I have a couple of pens that behave badly in the same way. When I begin writing there is no ink flow. If I depress the nib to fles it, ink does not flow in between the tines, even though I can see ink on the upper part ( when held in a writing position ) of the feed. Either putting a small drop of...

After offering this for sale @$175, with no takers, I reluctantly relisted it on ebay for a Sunday evening close. Reserve is now $150. If it doesn't reach reserve, we may negotiate a price that's fair to the consignor. Bid and you might just win a real interesting piece of early Esterbrook...

Hi, I'm sorry if this isn't the correct group to post in - but I think this is where to find pen knowledge! Google was no good at all! Has anyone experienced any problems with the Meisterstuck putting too much ink on the page? Whenever I write on ordinary lined A4 paper the ink remains wet for a...

Thinking of adding one of the these to the collection. They're at about $50 now. Anyone tried one? Thanks!
