I know we're gonna see some new pens this month! Ahem.
Nib Acquisitions for December 2012
- Thread starter nemo
- Start date
Now its a race to see who gets to post it first!
I need to get a picture tomorrow, but my TWSBi Mini Classic with fine nib and 2013 Rhodia weekly planner arrived Saturday. Hoping to add a few more entries to the thread this month.
Three bottles of Pelikan Bl/Bl made the trip across the pond.
My bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-ryoku (forest green) arrived today.

Carolina Blue Franklin-Christoph #27 Collegia with a medium stub nib. Now I just have to figure out what ink to put in it!
Nice Shane!
Thanks! I snatched that up from the B/S/T just the other day.
Just picked up one of these Sheaffer Preludes from a nearby shop. Time to work on my cursive writing.

Picked up this cross... had to open it to try it... but its not for keeps
Just hit the antique stores. Not much shaving stuff, but I did get this Mk III English Parker 51 which seems to work well, and this Vac which will need a restore.

Nice pickups, David!
Thanks. I'm trying to yoink all the vacs I see for a good enough price. I had to buy some tools and stuff to fix one a few weeks ago, so now I have to do a couple more to justify that expense. My first attempt at replacing the diaphragm was a moderate success (the pen works, but doesn't suck up as much ink as I think it should. I'm still learning.) This one should be better, now that I know what to expect.
I wanted to pick up the Vac tools myself. Only place I found them was a guy in Canada. Did you find them in Australia?
No. I got the filler removal tool on ebay, a guy in New Mexico who makes them himself. He does not seem to have any listed now. It is a pretty basic design, but it worked.
To insert the diaphragm ball into the cup I used a cuetip stick, and to fold the diaphragm back on itself I used a pen refill with the right diameter.
The hardest thing was cleaning the petrified residual diaphragm remains from inside the barrel. There must be an easier way to do that which I don't know.

I got a few dental tools from my dentist.
That's what he gets for leaving you in the room alone with them.
Ain't that the truth !!!
Nice score. Go Heels!
