The Long Island Pen Club meets again~! We will meet for our 3rd meeting on Thursday, March 11th at 8 pm. The Hofstra University Science Building's main floor conference room (located in mid Nassau County) has worked perfectly for our needs and will be our "regular" venue. Good lighting,...

This is a brand new Pilot pen that just came out in I think 2003. It's the Pilot Vortex. It's a kind of updated version of the Japanese "big cap" style pens like the Elite. You likely haven't seen it unless you've been to Asia lately. We don't have it here in the US and it's to bad as this is...

For Sale 2 Vacumatic Parker 51's Both pens have been resacked and tuned by someone well thought of on this site. They have seen very little use since the rebuild. Pen and pencil set with worn case

Setting aside their historic appeal & collectability, how do Parker 51 pens stack up as writers (smoothness, quality of contruction, ergonomics) with newer models like the Sonnet and Frontier? I have never handled a 51, but I have two 45s that are good writers (though a little too light for...

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. The straw pig, the stick pig, and the brick pig. One day this nasty old wolf came up to the straw pig's house and said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did!!! So the straw pig went running over to the stick pig's house...

I use a number of 0.5mm mechanical pencils, and am sick to death of one issue with their feed systems. At the point in between the last few mm of a spent lead, and the beginning of the new lead behind it ... things stall. You sit there, shaking and pushing the lead advance button, and eventually...

SELL A fine example of a aerometric filling "PARKER DUOFOLD SENIOR", with gold plated trim, blue colour, dating from the mid 1950's, all in fine condition, these pens were built to last, a good solid worker. The pen has an original "PARKER 14K ENGLAND 35" all in fine...

I picked up some brand new gel pens called Sakura Glaze pens. They look like regular rollerball pens, but the ink raises up on it's own after you write slowly with it (ex. if you draw a spiral and let it dry for about one minute, you can not only see it, but you can feel the spiral with your...

Hello all, I'm trying to find a mechanical pencil to replace my old staedtler technical that died. Turns out they don't make one like that anymore. So I need alternatives. So far I've found Faber Castell TK Vario, Koh-I-Noor Rapidomatic and a bunch of Staedtlers I'm not sure I like. Keep in mind...

A british DF in what i'd call a vertical herringbone pattern, but heck, i didn't write the book, so if he wants to call it basketweave who be me to disagree. I have a pink herringbone and a helical green herringbone senior at home that are in same family. British DF's come in boatload of colors...

I bought a convertor for a cheap Parker I bought to tide me over whilst my ATX is being fixed today. It's got a plastic plunger which is fixed to a slider rather than being a screw mechanism, and when I rinsed it a fair bit of water managed to get behind the plunger. Are they all this horrible?

Greetings all! I'm hoping for some good news here. It seems my Parker 51 fell into the hands of my wife... twice. The first time she jammed the cap on and, while attempting to remove it, apparently twisted the nib in the shell. The second time, while we were moving, she had actually THROWN IT AWAY...

For the second time since I began using my childhood Parker 51 Special, I have dropped it onto a hard floor. It was capped, and landed on the cap, but apparently there's not an effective stop inside. I had a difficult time removing the cap (finally wrapping a rubber band around it for friction),...

I'm curious about the material used to make fountain pen feeds. It seems to vary from one pen to the next. Some material is plastic, other is rubber, and they all have different propensities for ink flow. The ink feeds in Pelikan pens seem to have the best flow of all, especially the...
