I got this pen today

[GlenV]

Just a nib I’d love to have!, this catalog is marked from 1897

[Tashi_Tsering]

Oh! Understand, thank you again, @GlenV!

 

I didn't immediately understand which star you meant.

Today it is my Waterman 0652 and 52 1/2V, I got them back yesterday from Main Street Pens AKA Ron Zorn. He did a really nice job of bringing them back to life.

[inkstainedruth]

Nice!  What are the nibs on them and how do they write, now that they've been rehabbed?

They are both #2, I inked the 0652 with Diamine Autumn Oak, It didn't like it. Flushed it out and went with my safety ink, Waterman Serenity Blue and it writes great. The smaller one will have to wait awhile before I ink it..

[inkstainedruth]

Interesting.  But no, what I actually meant was, what are the nib widths? (F/M/B/etc).  Sorry for not making myself clearer.

Have not tried Autumn Oak but tend to not like orange inks just in general.

These are my 1st two pens, just recently acquired.  The Sailor is from Yoseka Stationary, and the other from Galen Leather.  At 62 yrs old I guess I can find something new to do.

Well, I still work as an Operations Director on Ft Cavazos, and have hifi (audiophile level music listening) as an activity. Photography and an occasional hike, run or bike ride too.

I have a 3d pen on the way from Good Pen Life vendor from Japan.  She (Yumiko) has 100% rating and from what I can tell seems like it will be ok.  It will be a Namiki Fuji and Waves.

 

I have current "space" for 22 pens.  At an average cost. as my tastes refine. of what will likely turn out to be between 600-800 per (some 250$, some 1200$+..lol), it might take 

a few units of time to arrive.....

Is the one from Galen Leather ebonite?  It has that sort of matte finish that I think of for ebonite.

Be sure and save some $ for the next case. It will happen.  BTW I have B&W 804s.

I wish I had more ebonite pens.  There's a warmth to the ebonite that you don't get with other materials.

The 0652 is in my humble opinion a fine with just a bit of flex. I had a #2 in a frankenpen I bought about the same time as this one and it flexed like crazy... That pen got a FPR nib in it and that #2 went in the nib box. I may drag it out someday and try it with a different feed/section combination to see if behaves better for me. I journal alot and don't get to fancy. Plus I am still learning to fix all the dead pens that I find here in Florida. There are still several I won't touch, lol I still find several I won't risk making worse and ship them to Ron...

I have some fancy Pilot Orange ink in it now and I do think I like it a bit more than the Sailor.

Anyway, don't mean to hog forum "space", still learning my way around, ..so far, I am not seeing a like button under people's postings; maybe I am too new to be provided that to use...or it is not a forum feature.....

There is no "like" button by design.
