ChrisR
I am new to this newsgroup, but sought it out with always having luck with
meeting knowledgeable people through usenet.
I have been a very casual pen collector for quite a few years. Picking up
pens very rarely, but always looking. I purchased a couple Michel Perchin
pens from a store a few...

The pen you wished you'd bought... by
JBSummer
but you didn't; the one that got away.
For me, it's an Omas Marconi in blue. Man, oh man, why didn't I buy one of
these when they came out new? I wanted it then but was in grad school - not
much spare $$ - and I still lust after one.

photo-flo by
Gregg Gibson
I'm interested in wetting agents for ink, and have been exploring this
group's archives on the subject.
I really like the way liquid detergent increases the wetness of my
ink, but I don't like the increased foaming.
I found reference to Photo-flo as an alternative wetting agent.
On October 3,...

novice collector, first repair, pointers anyone? by
Matthew Brooks
I'm new to pen collecting, having just bought my second 'cheapie' from EBay.
Yes, I do hear the cry of incredulity "you've bought two pens, is that
all???" And a fair point it is too. Thing is, I already had a fountain pen
that I write with... and now... well suffice it to say it's 2:10 am and...

Parker 51 versus other parkers by
Edward
I'm still a novice pen collector, and need some help ditinguishing
between certain pens. I know that the Parker 21 is a less expensive
version of the Parker 51, and can be found very cheaply. How does the
nib compare, and what is the filling system? Basically, I'm wondering
how do the Parker 51,...

Schmidt Fountain Pens - NOT refills by
Stephen G
Hello,
I purchased a Levenger Prima about a year ago for ~$20 and have been
quite happy with its abilities. Unfortunately Levenger quickly retired
this model before I could "stock up", so I have resorted to doing a
bit of research on the pen.
It seems that it is actually a Schmidt pen from...

What are your impressions of the Parker 17? by
Daniel
Hi!
This is my first post here, go go easy on me, ya hear? :)
I've tried to look up info on the Parker '17' and from what I've read and
seen it was the English/European counterpart of the Parker '51'. Is this
correct? I get the impression that the '17' was only offered in a fairly
narrow range of...

This survey veers away from our beloved fps over to our less-discussed mps:
1. What is your favorite mechanical pencil and what size lead does it take?
2. Do you have a favorite mp for using and another favorite for pocket/purse
jewelry?

Good quality ink? by
sbsawler
I use waterman's blue-black ink as I was told it has small ink particles
and will give good even flow. Any suggestions for a better ink?
Also, the only way I can fill a converter is to remove the nib and dip the
converter into the ink well. It seems that other's may dip the whole nib
into the ink,...

Envelopes by

I doubt that I will ever lick another envelope...
I work in a factory and we have 2 employees who used to work in
an envelope factory. They told me that when the machine jams up,
they use whatever water is handy to thin out the glue. This includes
water that they just mopped the floor with. Since...

Cleaning Silver pens by
Paul G
Hi All,
I love my silver pieces, but obviously don't use them all at the same
time.
I store them in an open tray, and they eventually get tarnished to a
point wher they need a good cloth rub to polish.
Any ideas on how to easily clean and maintain silver pens?
How are the liquid dips for...
