Can anyone give me any information about the Imperial Pen & Pencil Co., Inc. of Nassau, New York? Thanks!

I recently visited a pen seller's site that had a note about Private Reserve inks saying that using them voided the seller's warranty. I've been using Private Reserve Black Cherry in a couple of my pens and haven't noticed any problems. Does anyone have an explanation or caution about...

I've introduced my daughters to fountain pens and was thinking of giving them Moleskines notebooks in their Christmas stockings. However, one of them won't willingly touch anything made of leather. Anybody know what the material is that Moleskines have on the covers? Thanks!

I've recently seen a couple of items on eBay described as "Sheaffer Pen Company Limited Edition Christmas pen for 1996. The hand painted holly and ball cap decoration was inspired by artist Coles Phillip's original illustration in the Sheaffer's 1920s advertising." Anybody familiar with these...

Hi all, for several years i own a Redipen No2, made in England fountain pen. I'd like to have more knowledge about this pen, so does anyone have any information on the manufacturer/quality/value, etc etc? I think this one is made around or before 1947 Thanks in advance -- Greetz,

Hey there everyone. I've grown tired of the "5 for $3.97" pens you buy at WalMart and thought I'd give a fountain pen a go. I'm a college student, so cost is a factor. I don't /really/ want to spend above $50. I'm also a complete newbie to foutain pens, so I want something that is relatively...

Though I've been using a few of the Noodler's colors for about two months, I just now tried the black ink for the first time -- in a pen with an XF nib. I've never seen the nib lay down such a fine line before. On both good and trashy paper. I'm inclined to attribute this to the ink's...

I'm looking for an inexpensive, easily-available, 24-28 lb. unlined paper to use with Noodler's American Eel ink. On Staples 20 lb. copy paper it works nicely, with only a bit more feathering than regular Noodler's ink. On Staples 24 lb. "printing" paper it writes well but takes over 4 minutes to...

Are any of the Noodler's blue inks completely free of the permanent black dye? I'm looking for a blue ink that can be easily washed out of cotton fabric. I very much like the color and freedom of feathering of the Ottoman Azure, but it seems to have a component that binds tenaciously to paper. ...

I have a Parker 95 with an very smooth XF nib, which also writes very well as an XXF with the nib rotated 180 degrees. Rather useful for writing math. Do Parker 88s have the same feature? (Oscar Braun is selling these at a very attractive price right now.) Any other cheap pens that do this...

Will Noodler's permanent inks (black and/or colors) harm the cork seals in certain vintage pens?

I'm wondering about Parker's medium oblique (#88) and medium italic (#94) nibs for the Sonnet, and trying to decide between them sight-unseen. Could someone with experience with either or both of these nibs give their impressions of them? Are they any good? What are the maximum/minimum stroke...

Hello, I'm new to this newsgroup,and as a classic newbie I need an information. I recovered a silver Parker Fountain pen that was given to me as gift some years ago. Making a search on Internet I discovered that it is a Parker 75. Inside the pen there is a tank with a lever that, as I understood...
