I come on this site, especially this post to see what people have posted. I am amazed, jealous and frustrated all at the same time. All these beautiful pens and amazing penmanship.

 

Hahahaha that's why I love this thread too.. pure pen pron ;)

Gorgeous. I think the rose gold trim is stunning with this celluloid :puddle:

I don't know how you have been able to garner all the elegant Stubs on the earth ????

 

 

Haha, yes, it has been my goal for many years to corner the world market in stub nibs, but no one 'til now has been bold enough to suggest it. Alas, there are too, too many stubs, the competition is fierce, and I am but one man alone against so many. They actively seek to thwart my efforts, these ... competitors. Just look at the post above by Houston who shows us his beautiful Paragon and yet does not reveal the nib. Is he concerned about me? Afraid? No, I think not. He is jousting with me, taunting me with the image my mind conjures of his factory stub. Of course they are rare, seldom seen, closely guarded. He no doubt feels safe, separated as we are by half a continent and an ocean. But is he? IS HE? Hmmmm.

Just got my TWSBI Mini in white with rose gold and a Pendleton Brown adjusted fine italic/stub nib. It's so much fun to write with. I think it will end up being one of my "long-distance writers," pens that I can write and write and write with for long periods of time. It fits my hand well when posted.

 

And of course my Sheaffer Sovereign. My current "cold-dead-hands" pen. (along with a couple of others) I can't help it. The giant nib just looks so nice, it's smoooooth and classy and the Blue Velvet is perfect in it.

 

edited to add: looking at the two nibs side-by-side gives you an idea of just how big that Sheaffer nib is in proportion to the rest of the pen. When posted, the Sheaffer is only about 1/2 cm longer, but the nib is almost twice as wide at the widest.

 

Second edit: So, out of curiosity, I measured. The nib on the Sheaffer is 9mm across at its widest and the visible part is 22mm tall. That's on a pen which is 145mm posted and 127mm closed. So, it's about the size of a #6 nib on a shorter pen. Just thought I'd share my worthless observations

Houston should beware of the Guardian of the Stubs! :lol:
