    Oldschoolyoungin,

    The Sailor Kiwaguro looks great. I see a bottle of it in my future.

    PozzSka,

    Nice score! It must have been like Christmas!

    It's been a good three weeks...and most of it was 0 net on the bank account, sell this, buy that, etc. So it all worked out.

    My UK Parker Duofold has arrived.
    In original box with instructions.
    It's a very nice green colour.
    Loaded it up with PR American Blue and it works fine.
    The nib is more flexible than I expected. Very nice indeed.

    Default Early Eversharp Skyline

    Hey, Robert Robar, I found your pen!

    I got an Eversharp at an antique store last weekend where the owner was about ready to pull the nib for gold scrap. Jeez, I'm glad I rescued it in time, these Skyline nibs are usually very nice writers and good nibs are always in high demand. This is an early model, probably a 1941, identified by the lack of a breather tube and visulated section although it's a bit ambered.


    14 Karat medium nib (kinda stiff but not a manifold). I dipped it and it writes nicely.


    I may go for a gold filled cap since this guy is missing his clip. I've luckily got loads of Skyline parts somewhere around here.

    More about Eversharp Skylines HERE

    I think it'll make a pretty good pen, now if only my name was Robert.
