ROFL - I love the dragon and the comments.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...

As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

Don't all Italian snowmen wear bibs when eating spagetti?

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

I've been waiting to post all these up.

 

So, I went to a stationery store the other day - or maybe that was a stationary store. I mean, the store wasn't moving or anything.....

Not writing with any of them, but I took inventory of my spare gold nibs.

And today I'm writing with these two sexy things I just restored: both Watermans—a 52V in "Ripple BluGreen" on the left, and a re-blackened (*GASP!*) Waterman 14. :puddle: :puddle: :puddle:

Missed a few spots on the 14. I coated the new finish with Renaissance wax, so I'll strip it and re-dye later. I used the Pensbury Manor Pen Potion No. 9.

Did you re-blackened it by yourself?

If yes how did you do it?

 

Pensbury Manor Pen Potion No. 9, q-tips, and patience. :) I did polish it lightly with Simichrome, and washed the surface thoroughly with very cold water and mild detergent. I know the idea of throwing a 90+ year old hard rubber pen under a running faucet is unthinkable, but because I was dying it I threw caution to the wind (didn't fade it a bit anyway).

 

Here's what it looked like before:

Here's another angle of it now. I lightly rubbed it after the second (and final) coat of dye, and I think that might've taken a bit too much off the cap's rim. Or I didn't get good coverage. :rolleyes:

 

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/547/re2t.jpg

 

The BluGreen 52V also received quite the Simichrome polish. The blue had faded and the green had faded to a nasty yellow. The imprints were pretty faded to begin with, but I did exercise caution around them. But all the smooth surfaces got a spitshine with that polish.

 

Here's what it looked like before:

And after polishing, cleaning, and a thin coat of Renaissance wax:

I'm not sure if the pictures convey it, but the difference in person is enormous.
