Advice on Selling Pens by
Michael W
It has been sone time since I visited this site but I am in a position
where I need to sell some Fountain Pens, both current and vintage. I
am considering e-bay but some posts suggest this may not be the best
way. I would appreciate any advice. The current pens include a Mont
Blanc, Namiki...

Advice request- lubricating a Pelikan M800 refill mechanism. by
notmeGuv
Hello,
I have an M800 that is about a year old. I bought it after reading a
number of opinions in this group, for I wanted a single do-it-all pen.
I am very happy with it and would like to thank all those whose
contributions proved so useful.
One thing, however, is that the refill mechanism seems...

Aerometric Parker 51 Breather Tube by
L&R
Hi all,
I recently received an aerometric Parker 51 Mark I that belonged to my
grandfather. The nib, feed and hood were not properly aligned, and only
a limited amount of ink could be drawn in; the pen wrote nicely, though.
Thus, following the description...

After you buy them, then what? Newbie Question No. 691 by
[email protected]
I am interested to hear what other pen enthusiasts do with their pens
once they have amassed a sizable collection?
Do you keep your pens in drawers?
Do you keep them in cylinder cannisters like coffe mugs and what not?
Do you buy a fancy pen display case to show your friends when they come
to...

Age of Waterman ballpoint? by

I posted this question on the FPN, but ACPP may be a better place for it...
My interest is in fountain pens, but every once in a while I do acquire a
BP. Does anyone know how to date a Waterman Sapphire? If anyone is familiar
with them or has reference info, what features are...

agendas by
Barutan Seijin
Had the first snow of the year today. Among other things, this means
that I'll soon have appointments in the new year.
Does any one have suggestions on agendas? I was looking around today.
Clairfontaine has a student agenda that is decent and reasonable
priced. I'm not crazy about their paper,...

Ah, I love bending minds by
Deirdre Saoirse Moen
I was at a science fiction convention this last weekend and got some
information from a guy using a low-priced (but still eminently
serviceable) fountain pen.
I showed him my Namiki Vanishing Point and his head exploded. "That's
SO cool!" he said.
When he'd gotten his head back together, I showed...

Aikin Lambert by
zippy
Got back from the NY Pen Show, accompanied by an Aikin Lambert "W.H. Sherred Pen." It's a beautiful jade green, a lever-filler. It's about the same size and shape as a Waterman 52, and writes similarly to it, too.
Anyway, does anyone out there know anything about this company and where it came...

Air in The Converter by
AndyH
Whenever I refill my Waterman Hemisphere I end up with small air
bubbles in the ink converter. I wash and thoroughly dry the pen
between fills so I would expect air to be in the ink chamber. I dunk
the nib deep into the ink bottle and draw up the ink slowly by turning
the converter knob. I would...

Hi,
Has anyone had any luck traveling on airplanes post-October 1, 2006
with a filled Visconti travelling ink pot? Like others I have had no

Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" by
Nic
What on earth has this to do with fountain pens I hear you ask?
Well, for those who've seen the movie, there's a shot of
Tippi Henderson nearing the beginning of the movie when she
has just arrived at Bodaga Bay.
She's about to deliver a pair of love birds and she decides
to write a note. She...

alignment of triumph nib by
[email protected]
Hello all,
I picked up an early Triumph nib pen. It has a visulated section and
is marked 1000. What i failed to notice was that the nib is askew.
It points a bit to the left when seen from behind. There is also a
bit of a gap between the section on the upper right (again, looking
from behind)....

The types a Namiki Falcon, Pelikan M800, an older Sheaffer, a

time and efforts.

Travis posted on Pentrace board, that they were shipped on 6/29, but the
package was postmarked July 5th.

Anatomy of Mr. PENMART01 by
Portvrij
I have never seen Mr. PENMART01, but does one need to see someone to have an
idea of him?
Mr. PENMART01 is not made of flesh and blood. Mr. PENMART01 is a fountain
pen, a highly limited edition. In fact, there has been made only one pen
ever. It's a reliable fountain pen that doesn't write much,...
