Ptero : Beauuuuuuutiful drawing. Simple but stunning. Hope we will see more of such drawings in future, of course work - life balance is priority.

 

dcpritch: Lovely vintage pen + your writing. The ink compliments nicely.

 

akustyk : I envy your penmanship Now my wish-list is redone. I want a V- HS as item #1.

Oh my. I detect a slight flexiness to this nib. by IvanRomero, on Flickr

Last weekend I worked on a nifty little fountain pen made by Eggens-Hambler Co (EHCO) in the early 1920s for Stambaugh-Thompson, a New England store which continues in business today as a hardware/home center chain. The styling of this pen is pretty neat with a very pronounced finger grip at the end of the section, and the nib is pretty nice, too.

Ptero - WOW WOW AND DOUBLE WOW!!! We have an artiste in the network!

 

KrazyIvan - Gorgeous looking Kaweco.

 

Akustyk - My Visconti HS has flow issues, I have tried numerous times to flush the pen, remove the nib and clean the feed, blah blah blah, and it stops and starts in the most in opportune times. One good bit of news, I am able to use my Sailor 1911 with the H-EF nib. I found the error of my ways. Too much pressure when I write. So I am enjoying using the pen.

 

dcpritch - Great looking pens as always, If you ever want to bequest them to a friend, I would be honored to be the recipient.

 

Well, I received two really cool packages on monday from different parts of the country.

 

Package 1 - Two beautiful bottles of Akkerman ink. I am desperately using up the ink contained in my desk set.

Ink #1 Shocking Blue Ink #2 Iron Gallus

 

Package 2 - My great aunt passed away earlier this year as my mother was cleaning the house she came across two pens. A Parker 51 vacumatic, a Parker 21 and a vintage Sheaffer pen case.

 

Pterodactylus - YES I know there are no photos, had a very long week, I think dcpritch is rubbing off some of his work on me.

But it's a smooth writer!

I sold a pen not long ago on the FPN Classifieds and it was returned for some work, heading back today. I took some extra time to adjust the nib and ink flow and I think the new owner is going to like it. Here are a couple of photos:

I've never heard of a Mercury, that's a cool little pen. I really like the OMAS 360.

Yes, iphone pictures are bogus.

akustyk :

 

Sailor is a great pen, particularly with music nib. I agree its amazingly smooth. But here is a caveat - only your wonderful handwriting makes it look so great !

 

david :

 

Wow, lovely lovely delta fusion stub. But again the same caveat a/a - I wonder if the nib is so great or your great handwriting has made it look so !

 

tringle :

 

Love that Omas 360 and its stunning color. Omas is arguably one of the best writers. And the baby pen is so cute. Preserve it for your kids
