New Herbin Bottles by
Nancy Handy
I saw a whole new bunch of Herbin bottles today. I saw "Herbin
Sapphire" and several others.
Does anyone know if this is a repackaging of the regular inks or a new
line?

Clear Ink by
Nancy Handy
Yesterday I bought a cute cheapie rollerball that was by a cash
register. I thought it was kind of cool that it wrote with clear ink
from its transparent ink chamber. The ink comes out the color of the
cap, which in this case was purple. It also comes in blue and pink.
It's the Uni-ball...

Filcao Forever: RIP by
Matt Gabriel, Mad Poet of Newport
Well, the Filcao came unscrewed from its cap riding around clipped to
my pants pocket. Ink everywhere? No, because the nib bent all the way
over the feed, ruining the pen.
Dunno if I'm going to order another. I may go with the Monteverde
Intima instead... not as tiny or robust as the metal...

Bob Hope's fountain pen by
Ron Wilbanks
As we all know, entertainment legend Bob Hope passed on to the big stage
in the sky yesterday. I was wondering what type of fountain pen did
Hope use? I saw a film clip of him using what looked like a Parker 51
the other night. Anyone know what he liked to use?
Thanks for the memories Bob, we...

How do the new Parker 51's stand up against the old? by
Robert Chin
Any opinions?
Are the newly reissued Parker 51's like a lot of modern expensive fountains
that are "all show and no go"? Do they write as well as the old ones? Do
they start up everytime like the old ones?
I really would like a Parker 51. I know I can get a vintage one for short
money. OTOH,...

They certainly need to, as my junior high students have terrible
penmanship.

Pocket jewelry... by

I have two, or at least had two, of the CE pens and they write very well;
better than several of my far more expensive pens. The reason I say "had"
two of them, a very good friend tried one of mine and loved it; it is now
hers.
I would not spend more on the 18k nib, the difference will primarily...
