And I've inked up others.
And here is one of those fountain pens that doesn't get a great deal of use.

1930 Gold Bond Triumph,

This pen appears to have quite a pedigree, but until recently I only knew that she is as sweet as any pen can be and lovely to use. A Gold Bond, with a 14k nib, small in the hand, and perfect for my hands.
The pens I inked include a Conklin, also vintage, a Safari Al-Star in ruby, three Esterbrooks and using my new dailies, two Pilots, a Black Metropolitan and an Apple Green fun Kakuno.
I don't generally have so many pens inked, but did because I am editing a book and wanted to test out all the reds in my stable.
Hope all the fountain pen folks are enjoying reading blogs and signing up for some fabulous giveaways.
That's a nice Gold Bond! Flex nib? I especially like the cool pen rest, which looks vintage. I almost picked up my first Conklin at Ohio Pen Show but managed to walk away.
ReplyDeleteHello, Paul.
ReplyDeleteThe Gold Bond does flex but I don't know how much as I am quite gentle with her. The pen rest is really a watercolour brush rest that has aged over time. :)
