What pen(s) are you using today?

[ParramattaPaul]

Earlier, it was a CS Series 58, now, an Onoto Scholar.

onoto magna plunger filler 'roger wolfe'

Today it is a Kaweco Supra in brass, with an EF nib, inked with Diamine Ancient Copper. I used to use this pen a lot out in the field (because it is nearly indestructible as far as fountain pens go), but I don't use it so much these days. I really should. It is quite a pleasant writer.

Vandaag de Elysee, maar liefst de Pelikan M200, maar daar is de dop van defect.  Wellicht heeft iemand er een over?

A Conway Stewart 100 from the 1950's. Really nice Duro nib. Inked with Diamine Skull and Roses.

Looks great, @mallymal1, thanks for sharing!

Today it's been the Dusty Rose Laidtone Duofold vac filler, with diluted vintage Quink Microfilm Black, and the purple Pilot Falcon, SF nib, with Sailor Souboku.

@Misfit, would you mind sharing some pictures. I'd like to see more Nemosine fountain pens, if at all possible. 

Yes, I’ll try to get that done soon.  I have one of their Fission pens, plus quite a few Singularity pens. Do you want to see all?

Show off!

 

First, Conway Stewart's email advert tempts me, sparking pen lust, and now you fan the flame.

 

DRAT!!!!

Oh, yes, please. For some reason, I was not able to find much about Nemosines "in real world". Thank you very much.

Hehe, I second @ParramattaPaul about the extra difficulty. I even opened today the official (?) Conway Stewart page (at <replace name without spaces>.com), looked at the Churchill pen, then closed the browser away. Nice pens though 😉

Nemosine went out of business nearly three years ago.

Do you mean the actual pens, or just how their various nibs write?

Clever use of linking, too. Didn't know it can be done this way on FPN. 😃

More the nibs, indeed, but I also wanted to see the pens. 

 

Thank you for the link, @A Smug Dill, it's both informative and very funny. Summary, beyond the technical detail 😜

- The company is closing down, liquidating stock.

- John: Oh, no, I guess I'll buy one pen while it lasts. 

- Michelle: Oh, no, I guess I'll buy 2! 

- Vikram: Oh, no, I guess I should buy 3!! 

- Mei Lin: Oh, no, I'll get 5!!! 

- Emeka: Oh, no, I'll get 8!!!! 

... 

- Maaike: My first order, of 377 Neutrinos, 610 Fissions, 987 Singularities, 1,597 loose nibs, and 2,584 cartridges has just arrived!

... 

 

With such enthusiasm, how could they close the company?!

Edited to add at least one report of 'has arrived' :smile:

Very interesting, thank you, @A Smug Dill! I have to test if this works in the editor on my smartphone, where I currently create all my posts (and which helps me produce surprisingly many typos).

Those sales would probably not have occurred at the regular asking prices, but the company most likely could not have sustained operations and made a profit if it just sold at discounted prices, I suppose?
