Hello. My husband has been collecting fountain pens for a few years now and his tastes are becoming a bit more decerning with them and I'm beginning to aquire a taste for them aesthetically (I have a heavy hand so writing with one can be difficult). I want to be able to buy him gifts and surprise him without having to ask for links for pens that are to his liking. I know what he likes, but it's the meticulous eye and knowledge of vintage pens that I am oblivious to. He loves vintage, flex nibs. I know some people on here turn their nose up at using the term "wet noodle" but he loves them. I was looking at a vintage esterbrook with a 2048 nib. I previously attempted bidding on a waterman pink keyhole and was sniped at the last second. If there are any recommendations for super flexible old school pens, please please let me know. All suggestions are welcome.

I know that many of you already know this (all those who receive my newsletters! ) But now that all my subscribers have had the chance to choose colors and models, I would like point out to all forum people this close-out sale of the last Stipula Vedo, at approx 50% of their real price. The series is called Vedo because all the fountain pens have a transparent section on the barrel; both those with converter and those with piston filling system, where the whole tank is transparent. For the updated availability, I refer you to my website: anyway, there are still a couple of black piston filled pens and some pink ones; while converter filled pens are still available in all colors. And more, there are also rollerballs and ballpens, in the same colors. The offer includes a free ink bottle each fountain pen. For ballpen and roller, a small complimentary Moleskin-type notepad. All the pens come in their beautiful Stipula red boxes, with regular warranty. It seemed to me ideal for small gifts... (Please be patient with the photos, I took them myself with my mobile!)

Hello, Hopefully I've decided on the right section to ask this question. I am currently dating someone who is from Taiwan. He enjoys using fountain pens (and rarely uses any other writing instrument) so I had decided that, as part of his Christmas gift this year, I would get him 2 pens: one from Taiwan (to represent where he was born) and one from Canada (where we reside now). I am fairly certain I have been able to locate a local pen maker where I will purchase the Canadian pen but I am having a difficult time discovering what legitimate brands are out there from Taiwan. I have been able to look at an online store for TY Lee and I've looked at the Tenny site but, as both of them are in Chinese, I'm a little hesitant to settle on something as of yet. If anyone has any assistance they can provide, whether it be a good retailer or even just some brands to look out for, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you! - Samantha
