Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2015

[SNAK]

 

Magnificent! Love the crisp, clean lines! Do you do that type of beautiful doodling in colors? I'd love to see them!

Thanks for your kind words, HalloweenHJB. I doodle with anything at hand, with pencils, markers, fountain pens, in any colour ink. I just got myself a few water brushes so I am trying ink wash too.

 

This is another doodle I did with a fountain pen.

 

The pen is a modern Pelikan M101N in Red Tortoise, with a vintage nib put into it.

 

This is a 1930's vintage 14K nib in Oblique Medium. The ebonite feed and screw-on collar were made to accommodate the vintage nib so that the nib assembly can fit into modern Pelikan pens with interchangeable nib units.

 

This is the nib unit that came with my modern M101N Red Tortoise. Currently used in my M400 White Tortoise pen. The original vintage script style nib and the modern replica script style nib are pretty similar in looks, but the spring and flex that the vintage nib can give you is not easily reproducible I don't think.

 

Pen: Pelikan M101N Red Tortoise with vintage 14K Oblique Medium nib

Ink: Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (Original version)

Paper: Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook (165gsm or 111lb) - good paper for pen drawing, warps with water wash

" ... made to accommodate the vintage nib ..." by Pelikan? Or by a clever pen turner?

 

Handsome pen, btw - somehow I've never been aware of that model before.

My wife picked this "New Banker" combo pen/pencil out of a pen-show bargain bin - one of three for $10, I think. I re-sac'ed it yesterday - my first go at that - and am trying it out for a few days before I clean it, wrap it, and give it to her as a birthday present.

I was practicing trying to write with casted hand using my MB Classique and decided to snap a pic of the nib with my phone. I think it came out pretty good for a potato pic.

It was done by a clever person called Rick Propas.

 

I believe this is the third iteration of Pelikan's recent reproduction of their 1930's 101N pens. But the modern ones have the M in front of their model number.

That is a beautiful looking pen and Ink!

It's an all Parker day today. The Duette was just finished this morning, and WOW! I love this little pen. And the nib is a touch italic, so it has some personality. I'll try to get some writing pics up before the Spanish Inquisition arrives.

 

 

Whew....made it...

Now I have the tune from Mel Brooks History of the World "The Inquisition" stuck in my head.....

Nice restoration work!

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I do this too! Especially when I want to try out an ink but don't know what to write.
