Pay it Forward 2009

Recommended Posts

I have received several items from people on this forum and finally found something I could give back. This is my meager offering of my J-Bar extraction tool. I have two of these at the moment that need to be finished, which I'll let the receipients do as they see fit. They just need to be filed or ground down a bit so they can fit under the short end of the J-Bar. See my post in "Home Made Pen Tools" in the Repair thread for more info.

 

The one on the bottom is my tool, the other two are available. First 2 PM's will get one. CONUS only!

Please PM me with your mailing adderesses.

 

Those very observent here will note that now there appears to be 4 pens VS the 3 originally mentioned. Another FPNer who also has a Reform 1745 saw this thread and graciously offered to send theirs in also to be gifted. A most gracious and appreciated offer, and so thusly, the 4th pen.

 

Thank you to all who participated, I do so wish there were pens enough for everyone.

 

Happy Thanksgiving To ALL,

Thank you soooooooooooooo much!!!! You are most kind and generous! This is the nicest group of people! I'm amazed that people still do such nice things for people they don't know. It is really wonderful. One day I will be able to return the kindness. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

woo hoo. Thanks again for everything. I talked at church last Sunday about gratitude. One of my points was that sometimes as negatively as many people see the world, there are kindnesses given every day. This is one.

 

Thanks again.

Just joined because I saw this posting. I'm new to fountain pens - been drooling over some in Fahrney's (in DC) down the street from my office for a while, but still using my cross selectips (with fine felt tipped refills).

 

My best friend got married this past weekend and gave all the groomsmen Waterman Phileas! So now I have a fountain pen, and have been using it exclusively since Friday night. Would love to have another (more likely several more) to try out before I figure out what I like/don't like and start spending too much money on this new hobby.

 

Thanks

Jarad

 

Just gotta tell you that after many years of collecting and using, the Phil remains one of my all-time favorite pens. You will love it!

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Another bump... about 20 responses so far...

 

FYI... people would be moved to read some of the stories. There are some really amazing people out there among the masses, and there are a few really amazing people who notice them (the best part)!

 

This will be fun...

 

I have a new black/platinum Mont Blanc Generation Fountain Pen that has been inked once and used once.

 

Here's a (borrowed) picture...

Here's the deal: this pen will not be for you, but for someone you think deserves it. Write a little and tell me who will receive it (no names, please) and why. PMs only please.

 

I will be looking for responses until the end of November, so I can review and then get this pen shipped off to the generous winner!

Having been inspired by the thread https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=67142&st=0 , I made some "leatherette" covers for composition books. The actual material is fabric-backed vinyl stamped to the texture of leather.

 

The three prototype covers go to the first three people whose school colors match the colors of the covers. The composition book is not included due to postage costs. Answers from USA only please. Apologies to others.

 

PM with the names of your current OR former school colors.

Sheaffer Blue Black offer to anyone. I dont care for this color at all and would like to pass it along to someone that would use it.

 

I need the person that I offered this to to pm me again as the pm's were lost in the software update. I need your address again so I can get it out tomorrow.

Jarad, were you wanting to be included in the Reform Giveaway? Did you send me a PM in addition to this post? If you did, I don't recall seeing it. It you wished to be included in that give away, send me a PM, Florence and I may have something for you.

+++POSTSCRIPT TO LAST WEEKS REFORM 1745 GIVEAWAY+++

 

In addition to the 4 members who got (or are getting) the Reforms, there were at least 2 other newer members who

had requested they be considered in the give away. Though I thought I'd saved a copy of all entrants PMs, apparently I

did not. :bonk: [One I specifically remember was a gentleman from Australia]

 

If anyone who originally sent me a PM to be included in the Reform give away last week can possibly recoup the message

they sent me OR somewhat replicate it and resend it in a PM to me, Florence and I may have something for you yet even

if it won't be one of the Reforms. :bunny01:

Hi Bruce!

I received my Reform pen yesterday! Thank you so much!! I haven't had time to put ink in it and try it out yet but I will as soon as I can. We had a close friend of my daughter's to pass away on Sunday and we have been really busy and so, so sad. I promise to write to you as soon as I can. Thanks again!!

 

 

OK, couldn't stand it so I got brave and went and filled my pen with ink. I've never filled one like this before but I must have done ok because it writes GREAT!!! I can't wait to show it off at work tomorrow! Yippee!

Greetings!

 

I've been reviewing entries for the Generation for the last couple of hours. There were 30 great ones.

 

Several of them were from people who wanted to give a pen to someone close to them to help them understand this fountain pen fetish of ours... a truly worthy cause!

 

There were many who wanted to say "thank you" to someone special for some very special reasons...

 

There were a few who wanted to brighten the world of someone who has been beat up by the world in one way or another...

 

Four entries made this choice truly difficult... but I'm sending only one PM...

 

Meanwhile, figure out how you can brighten someone's world, say "thank you," or just further the cause of fountain pens in the world!

Ditto on this. I ordered some Parker ink today, it will be here tomorrow, so I can ink it up and try it. I got all that cool paper, and now a cool pen...I am truly blessed. Thanks again Bruce and Florence.

 

Here it is, from a phone photo. Bruce did a great job packing....I highly recommend his methods:)

I am having a great time with my new Reform! Thank you sooooooo much to Bruce and Florence. You two are gems! :) Letter is in the mail...there is so much to learn with a new pen that writes so well. And I am gladly soaking it all in. Thanks again! :)
