$75,000 for a Parker on etsy
Only $100,000
Wonder where he got his catalog of 'retail' prices?
Collect pens of course & interested in pen history-- esp. Watermans.
Hobbies include feeble attempts at calligraphy & drawing pen & ink cartoons. I play the trumpet (Shilke B1b) post-bop & soul jazz.
Enjoy the outdoors through volksmarch & hiking the analogue way-- compass & topo map! Tend to see more critters that way.
Recently I've gotten back into photography and have spent far too much money on glass. ; )

Hi everyone,
I'm reluctant to do this, but I could use some advice.
I'm posting off topic because I'm not out to stir up trouble.
If you e-mailed someone about volunteering, and that person replied, "Great to hear! But hate to tell you that's not my job any more. I'm forwarding your e-mail to Mr. So & So."
"Mr. So & So" happens to be in a very high position of authority and is probably quite busy.
What's an appropriate time to wait for a reply? A week? A month?
E-mail him direct even though that doesn't seem to have worked in the past?
Suggestions welcome. Wish I could be more specific, but prefer to err on the side of discretion. : )
thanks in advance

HI everyone,
Not making fun of the guy. For all I know he just snagged it at estate sale, or I hope someone didn't pull the wool over his eyes if he has thrift shop.
Consider myself fairly knowledgable about early Watermans by now, so just want to make sure haven't missed something.

Hi everyone,
Is there such a thing as vinatge paper?
Time to reorder Crane 100% cotton 32# Monarch size stationary & envelopes.
According to Crane's site-- "No Longer Available."
http://www.crane.com...nvelopes/cs7116
Say it ain't so!
I've found this paper seems to give me the best lines with no feathering or bleed-through. Disappointing if they've stopped making it in a nice 'in between' size.
A local stationer some in stock, but it's per sheet at what I'd thought was a ridiculous price.
Now I'm thinking of buying the whole darned blue box!
Before I go paper crazy though.
Anyone know where I can get this size in 100% cotton, off white color?
thx

Hi everyone
PCA & Pennant OK?
Reason I ask is membership renewal coming up & have only received one magazine. (Winter 2014)
Spring 2015? Summer 2014? Fall 2014? Charlize Theron swimsuit edition?
Anyone else have gap(s) in subscription?
So far, e-mail to Editor, Prez, and VP = no reply. An e-mail to "AssocEditor" bounced. : (
What gives?
thx
