I like the No Nonsense Old Timer for its vintage look and use of relatively durable, modern plastic. The stock nib is decent, but I wanted an original 1920s-style Lifetime nib in the pen. After playing around, I got a 1920s Lifetime nib from a desk pen to work. For those interested in modifying the Old Timer to use a vintage nib, you may have luck with a nib from a broken-down 1920s desk pen, like this. I found later nibs from Balances, Touchdowns, etc. to be too thin/small.
