Pay It Forward 2014

[coredump]

Ok guys. I have two pens here that are kinda good but I don't like them because they offended my mom.

 

 

Hero 448: It's a very tiny pen. This is how I feel using it: http://nintendookie.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/worlds-smallest-violin.jpg It has some scruff marks because I carry my pens on my pocket together with keys, nails and a angry woodpecker. Writes pretty well, has a very weird converter that works like a syringe and it's on the fine-ish side as far as nibs go.

 

Bulow X450: Has a bullow nib that looks pretty, may need some adjustment on the feed/nib to flow correctly but glides awesomely on the paper. Has scruff marks and the back thingie is a little lose (just a little). Blue with some wavy detail.

 

Both pen works, but be advised: they are jerks and will talk behind your back.

 

I will give it to whoever pms me the best cookie recipe. I have a competition coming up at the office and I want to win.

 

EDIT: Forgot to add that it's continental US only. Sorry

omg.......I never win anything!!!

 

tytytytytyty Steve for the awesome PIF! I shall use it with pride!!

 

AND...ty to all of you PIFers. I'm beginning to see that I DO have stuff I can PIF even if I think it's not that big a deal! SWEET!!

 

Congratulations - use it in good health.

[ScienceChick]

Hopefully next PIF will be a bit more exciting

 

All PIFs are exciting to the right someone or someones. I think it's a really nice PIF!

[mhguda]

Yes indeed! I for one especially love the tinkering ones. I love the challenge of making a pen that wouldn't, work for me. Even if it's a relatively simple fix. In fact, especially then. So I am looking forward to yours getting here... in a few weeks time.

What if we were take a fine writing instrument, one with lineage, built by the German masters, an icon of status and perfection, like Mont Blanc.

And a no nonsense basic utilitarian pen, American manufacturing ingenuity , an icon for inexpensive functionally, the Bic

And unite them???

 

I introduce to you the Mont-Bic

 

German Dad, American Mom, what could be better?

It has the humble appeal of the Bic with the write of the Blanc.

The ultimate in anti-status symbols.

And yes, the ink cost 5 times that of the pen!

 

At 5 days old, they are weaned , but not house broken and ready to fine new homes.

I am giving up for adoption Three Mont Bics to worthy guardians, Good folk that have collections that, would be excepting of a mix-pen.

 

 

Since they don’t have pedigree and papers, I can only ship within US

 

Please send your applications to me via FPN mail.

I'd love one.

[mhguda]

Me too, but alas, I don't qualify. But, the idea is clear, and I will do something similar... just have to stop by the boutique and get the RB refill. How did you get the emblems on the holder? If they are stickers, could I PM you my address and receive a sticker?

Awesome.

I will say... .a German Mom and American Dad... So, we can get a Full size 149 for less than a dollar...

Greetings,

You also have to make a section, its a little tight but works. If you can do lath work, not a problem. I cut the stickers from vinyl on a printer/cutter.

(I stuck one on my Sailor 1911, and it looks like I'm walking around with a 149 in my pocket)

If you can wait I'll be at Carmabi research station March or April.

This is wonderful. . I'd love to have one but would rather someone else get the PIF. BUT I must say that I really enjoyed this post and your sense of humor.

Never mind about the pens. If we get to meet you will be the first live FPN member I set eyes on - we will Have to Meet!

That will be such fun.

Do let me know once your schedule is known, and we'll set something up. Carmabi is awesome.

I will let you know as soon as I have a firm schedule, in the mean time keep the Polars on ice
