Dollar Pens

 

How are you posting pictures if you don’t mind? FPN rejects every one I try to load.

@ bemon -- How are you trying to load them? It's easier to use the upload feature (the link at the top of the page) and follow the instructions, but there is a size limit, so you may have to crop or resize the images. I generally download photos from my phone to my laptop, and do any tweaking and resizing in iPhoto, then upload them via the Upload feature. To post them, copy and paste one of the sets of code into a post.

 

Back on topic, now. Today it's been the pink TWSBI 580-AL, B nib, with Nemosine Alpha Centauri; and the 1941 Parker Green Shadow Wave, F nib, with vintage Quink Microfilm Black.

I was trying to load them right into the reply field. It worked up until a few months ago and now it rejects anything under the size limit.

I like the image you've posted.

Sailor Shikiori Souten was a welcome addition to my writing desk in 2019.

I'm glad that you're also enjoying it.

I pulled my Conklin Durograph out last night. I don't know what it is about this pen but I really like it. It came with a trash nib, so I axed it and put on a moderately better Edison nib. It still hard starts. so it's far from reliable. But it looks good and is so warm to the touch. I really like this pen. I've been working on selling off all my mid range pens to make room for a higher end collection but I can't let this one go.

 

...Did I say I like this pen?

That's my idea of a pair of excellent fountain pen images.

I like everything about the composition in both cases.

Thank you for posting them here.
