Vintage Pen News: May 2015
http://vintagepensblog.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A blog about antique and vintage writing instruments: fountain pens, mechanical (propelling) pencils, dip pens, and more. Thursday, May 7, 2015. When pen collectors hear "date code", they think of Parker. Other pen companies used date codes later on, but as far as I know, Parker was all on its own when it added a date code to its imprints from 1934 on. Yet the pen shown above, a Waterman/Aikin Lambert Vis-O-Pen, had what appears to be a date code, "38", on its plated stainless steel nib. More discoveries...

Vintage Pen News: Seeking and using flexible nibs
http://vintagepensblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/seeking-and-using-flexible-nibs.html
A blog about antique and vintage writing instruments: fountain pens, mechanical (propelling) pencils, dip pens, and more. Sunday, March 8, 2015. Seeking and using flexible nibs. I regularly receive requests for vintage pens with flexible nibs. Demand for flex nibs has spiked in the last few years, with buyers on eBay bidding up $40-60 pens to the $400-600 range if equipped with nibs of sufficient flexibility - though primarily certain pens, from certain sellers. Labels: dealing and collecting. That said,...

Vintage Pen News: Measuring nib flexibility
http://vintagepensblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/measuring-nib-flexibility.html
A blog about antique and vintage writing instruments: fountain pens, mechanical (propelling) pencils, dip pens, and more. Thursday, July 2, 2015. Once buyers started bidding up pens with flexible nibs to unprecedented levels, sellers began to cash in by overstating the flexibility of their wares (related posts here.

Ever regretted selling a pen? Tuesday, June 16, 2015. I've owned these two for quite a few years. Both are vest pocket versions, as opposed to the chatelaine versions which have an inverted V-shaped suspension system, allowing the pocket to hang from a woman's belt. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
