just some pen pics from time to time...

Here's an image for @RobJohnson

And a reminder that this thread is for photos of pens. It's not a popularity contest.



Hint for @RobJohnson - it's experimental.

Peyronies pens! Is this a mini collection?

No, it seems inspired by Dalí



...it must be art!

Last 3 images are for those with an unbiased approach to art.

All true art is biased. If not, it's a commercial image.

Here's a great article about technicality vs creativity - READ HERE

For me Person B is where I lean toward, but have no doubt that this is not a simple this or that explanation.

Then there was the time when the Pelikan Cafe Creme was about to get its innards cleaned. I sucked water in through the section and squeezed! The bulb syringe burst at the seam.

I thought you were targeting "Eyedropper pen on steroids."

Very cool. Congratulations! Pictures to come?

And then there are the pens you wish you still had.

This looks familiar.

This looks familiar.

It was a Sheaffer Legacy ("II", I think) with a touchdown filler that used the gold converters with the red ends. Alas, the touchdown mechanism never worked so I used the chrome squeeze converters instead. It didn't work as intended so I fell out of love with it and sold it. In hindsight, I should have been happy with the squeeze converters because I liked everything else about it, with its inlaid 14k stub nib and solid sterling cap and barrel.

I see! I thought this was my gold Sheaffer from when I temporarily gave you possession of my small collection. I was gonna say, if that's the pen that got away, you could have it back

The only pen I regret having sold is this one:

Rheingold von -c_m_z-

It's a Soennecken Rheingold of the very first generation of Rheingolds. The jade color wasn't perfect and I thought that I will find a better one.

Well, 15 years later, I still didn't...

What type of nib is that on the far right pen? Is it a broad ital posting nib?

As I recall it was more of a stub than an italic. All Mabie Todd pens of course.

I had forgotten just how much enjoyment this thread can offer, it is really worth it to go back to page 1

[Empty_of_Clouds]

Awesome! It's actually one of those directionless threads where a member can jump in randomly and find something of interest.
