Easy, moderate, or hard, I do crossword puzzles in pencil.

 

Esterbrook mechanical pencil (I like the old thick leads) and Sheaffer Lady Balance with Pilot Blue ink.

In expectation of L.A.'s impending heat wave today, I sought out an antique favorite from my old dust-covered seabag that should remain unaffected by the brutal temps.


It's a rare unbranded pen from India, manufactured by an artisan who hand-carved it from a retired ebonite house ball from a now defunct bowling emporium in New Delhi. (Portions of the Columbia 300 logo are still visible on the barrel...)


The ebonite has been infused with unobtanium which should laugh in the face of old Mr. Sol today!


The nib is made of 25K illudium-wishalloy that renders a firm yet rubber-tree flexibility that defies description. I believe it is now trademarked as "bounce-a-flex."


Now if I can just remember how to get ink into it?!

Poor man, the heat's got to him.

 

I'm currently using a Platinum Preppy with PI Momiji and a Sailor 1911 with Kiwa-guro to do sudoku.

Make that MB 221 I menioned EF, not F. It made GvFC Garnet Red into a pallid pink scratch on the paper, so much so that I dumped the ink into the RMB and refilled with Aurora Black, which I keep for such pens.

 

Some more GvFC Garnet went into a French market 18k Onoto 2500, the main pen I am using today.
