FPN Platinum and Nakaya gallery

Recommended Posts

My one and only Nakaya. Long Piccolo. Black urushi. BB nib with flex added by John Mot then later stubbed by Pendleton Brown. The Montblanc pen pouch is curious as to what is going on........

Here's something I received last week. Vintage catalogs on Stan's site tell me it is a Platinum PPN-10000. I've read it may have been launched in 1974. It is almost the same size as a Lamy 2000.

:) Love it.

 

How's about my lightweight plastic no name pen from Platinum?

Despite it's cheap feel it has a gorgeously smooth nib.

It was an ebay find for £21.48 delivered and came with a matching ballpen. Result.

I'll give you Maestro.

 

There is a fab Yellow Ford Cortina MK3 nearby. I've been meaning to park next to it and have a little sketch.

Lol, I meant the pen not the car. . There is a #3776 Maestro in some markets, also seems to be called the Balance.

So happy right now.

I've wanted to recommend that pen to so many people but not had any idea how to. Thanks perrins57 !

Off to Google & eBay.
No, wait, just Google as I'm not buying any more pens this year. Only inks.

Coming predominantly from a Cartier, Montblanc, S.T. Dupont fountain pen background, I got acquainted with the Nakaya and Platinum fountain pens last weekend.

 

I ended up buying three, two Nakayas and one Platinum. I now cannot thank myself enough for having made the decision to try these truly wonderful writing instruments.

And a Nakaya accessory - leather pen case. Fits my S.T. Dupont Shanghai President 2009 spot on:

It's Shobu, and it's REALLY hard to photograph. Any tips? Your photos are great! :)

 

And thank you!

Ahhh, Shobu. That shade of purple is really difficult to photograph! All my attempts in a light tent have made the pen look black instead. But I have this one photo from a couple of years back, taken with a point-and-shoot camera.

Just a quick question here bit of confusion, but is Nakaya and Platinum the same company.

Just found this resurrected old thread and sure enjoyed browsing through the photos. Here are my two - a Nakaya Naka-ai in Heki Tamenuri and a Platinum Izumo Yagumonuri, which remains the most beautiful pen I have ever seen.

 

I bought the Nakaya, my first, at the LA Pen Show last winter and am looking forward to choosing a second at the DC Show next weekend.
