    Default The FPG 2014 LE Pin!

    Just in time for my trip to the SF Pen Show, I received mine in the mail, very nicely done. It is impossible to pass up an object that proudly (if in very small type) states: “Using a fountain pen should feel like riding a unicorn through a field of cupcakes during a rainstorm of scotch while eating bacon."



    For the initial post on the pins, and how to order (before they run out), go look here. Congratulations to Dan on yet another element that makes the FPGeeks experience so much fun!

    I should have been a salesman instead of a drummer.

    I just bought two so maybe they had more? Hope so for everybody else' sake!

    Though, to be technical, I normally only drink Scotch with Sunday pancakes...

    I didn't see the order page in time. They're all over Instagram. If anyone has one to spare please let me know. Will pay and send ink samples or something.

    I ordered 200 this year, twice as many as last year. I was a little surprised they sold so quickly. Thank you to everyone who made a purchase!

    It is indeed the new Franklin~Christoph Music nib called "The Christoph" AWESOME AWESOME nib. Butter smooth and massive with fantastic flow. The ink is Noodlers Manhattan blue/black

    Wish I had some BB B4 to try in it I may break down a get a bottle... maybe

    Dumb question alert: is that a new bottle of ink, or vintage?

    From what I was told, vintage bottle with new ink and label made to look like a vintage label.
