Blessed birthday Tom!  To be of service in any sense is the greatest honour one can be blessed with.

And I for one would love to have Tom around for 70 more!  He is a FPN treasure.

 

Tom,

 

I don't believe we have met personally or even conversed outside these forums, but your input, experience, and willingness to share freely is superb.  I know there are a host of others who feel likewise!

 

May you be blessed in the years and decades to come.

First of all, my apologies for the sad (some might say explicit) state of the Noblesse. I've long recognized I'm a fountain pen barbarian (and that's why I like the Slimline and Noblesse lines so much).

 

I'm using a terribly battered down Noblesse and a Blue lacquered Noblesse to jot notes on a paper I'm reviewing. Makes the task so much pleasurable...

 

 

And no, it's not that the Noblesse has any engraving, it's mostly due to wear. I should consider polishing but don't want to wear the chrome.

Happy birthday dear Tom! Always a pleasure to read you - thank you for your generosity in sharing impressions, beautiful photos and quiet wisdom.

happy new year tom, a bit ahead here in australia - its already the 2nd.  Relief on my part as I am no longer on call, time to catch up on some sleep.

Blessed 2024 everyone!  Wishing all a year of great health!

I changed ink in my 149 O3B.

Zdenek-

Love the photo, and the close-up of the nib.

Could you post a pic of writing with the nib and ink on paper?

Thanks

[Zdenek]

kazoolaw, here you are

 

[txomsy]

Nice! But that's a 149, not a Leo Tolstoy, isn't it?

 

Nice writing any way. I may have to chase an O3B nib, I like the way it shows in your writing.
