What MBs are you using today?

[Blade Runner]

My guess is ca.92-96 for the 2-tone and 96 to present for the 3-tone.

Barry, you are awesome!

I bought the 2 tone brand new 1n 1994 at Joon's, NYC.

I bought the 3 tone from Norbert Otto's ebay site. I found my notes about the transaction for this exercise which indicates the pen is from late 90s. Well done.

Great photo! Thanks for posting it. Who wants to play the "dating game"? What are the approximate dates of production for these two nibs?

 

I am abysmal at this game, but I'll guess.

The nib on the left- circa 1980

The nib on the right- circa 1985?

Beautiful photo!

 

Oh, I have so much yet too learn. :embarrassed_smile:

I should probably buy another 149 for research purposes.

Well done Barry. Obviously, I did my guess without referring to your treatise on the subject.

My mistake. I've got some studying to do.

I've owned Writers Edition pens since 2003 when I bought my Fitzegerald and shortly after my Verne. I've never used any of my WE until today. Today I filled my Verne with MB blue ink.

 

So far I have only written a few lists, the first being a shopping list the second the order in which the WEs were released.

 

Have to say I am very impressed with the pen. In some ways I wish I'd inked it many years ago.

 

Next to be inked will be my Mann or my Cervantes. I'll give the Verne a few months worth of action first though.

 

I am using it with my Ciak notepad. Although it does bleed through a bit the pen is super smooth.

Just for jasam..............here is my Agatha, but not with any ink display, although she is inked with a mix of MB red and black to make a nice blood coloured ink! She was mint until she landed here...........after so long she needed a big drink - and this nib will be going visiting a nibmeister when I can bear to let her go for a while!
