I have bought few vintage pens lately and I'm still waiting for them in the mail. I spent a bit of money, and should probably take a pause. I still keep searching for the type of flexible fine point nib among various brands. I know Mabie Todd, Waterman, some Sheaffer models have them. Many of the very old eyedrop fillers have this type of nib (the black, slender cylinder type). I am terribly tempted by the 1930s INKPAK popcod has up for sale here on FPG, even if it's a bit cost prohibitive at the moment it looks like a dream.
Has anyone experiece with brands/models with this kind of nib? I have noticed Swans and Blackbirds, not all are flex or finepoint. I think Waterman No2 is an alternative. I guess what I'm looking for is a 1930s to 50s pen, I don't mind 1910 or earlier, but I guess they become few and far between at some point. I think I'm aiming for a complete pen, since it's difficult to match nib, feed and pen correctly by shopping on the web. What should I be looking for?
