I actually just received my first Nakaya, well actually two Nakayas. One a used Nakaya Naka-ai writer Cigar Toki-tamenuri, and a new Nakaya Portable Cigar Heki-tamenuri. Timing worked thay arrived at the same time.

What is that black contraption on the left? Don't remember having those in my Nakaya set. Some kind of adapter for intl cartridges?

 

 

Yes, cartridge adapter for standard intl.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

As below. I had requested the seller to include one. It is pain to get one later.

Yes, cartridge adapter for standard intl.

My first Nakaya...Portable Cigar in Kuro-tamenuri with pink gold nib. It is a Medium ground to a stub. I am in love!!!

 

Classic beauty. I have the same pen with a yellow gold nib, a BB ground to cursive italic. Placing the pen on that tray really shows the pinkness of the pink gold dramatically. Hmmmm ... Or is the nib stained with red ink?

It actually looks more pink in this pic. In real life it is subtle but beautiful! It is not the ink although I do have it inked with Diamine Oxblood.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
