In Topic: Belmont 1930's. Great Celluloid.

I have a couple Belmonts and they are great writers. Wonderfully responsive nibs.

I know nothing about them, really, but a prolific peddler of inexpensive flex pens on FPN once pointed out that Belmonts went through phases of quality, starting out very competitive, then degrading into poor fit and finish, ending up third-rate or lower.

Certainly a great collection subject, should one be so inclined, would be to assemble a lineup spanning those phases and compare.

Probably just sat on it by accident. At least that's what some of the patients say...

Oh, I have to remember that line if it ever happens to me (coming across a misconfigured desk base, that is...)

Hi Bart

In true Blue Peter style, here`s one I made earlier, I think this one is a shade darker than vista blue.

Does anyone convert these to fountain pens? It would be cool to have a Vista Blue Big Red FP.

And, how does that compare with a plain old "Alt + PrintScreen" on your keyboard, then Paste into MSPaint?
