Holy Snap PozzSka !!!! You leave anything out there for anybody else !!!!

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.

Got my TWSBI Diamond 530 M nib today for my birthday.

Happy Birthday!

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.

You are absolutely right about those Nibs... nice find Nemo

Thanks, Brian. An especially nice find for only $10.

Yes seeing as most people spill more then that in a day....
