Topics I've Started

KRUG by OMAS Limited Edition Fountain Pen

02 June 2015 - 05:20 PM

I gleaned from the closing of a pen shop, an Omas Krug Limited Edition fountain pen, Medium nib. It is number 136 of 843 made. This edition has sold out at Omas (only Rollerballs left). This pen has always been in the box, and the box has only been opened to check on the state of the pen and to take the pictures included. It has not been inked or dipped.

 

The barrel and cap material are wood from KRUG Champagne barrels, the section is Sterling Silver, and the nib is 18K Gold.

 

I am asking $1475.00. Please email david@inkypeople.com to purchase. Payment via PAYPAL. Shipping will be agreed at purchase.

Waterman pencil erasers and lead

20 May 2015 - 03:07 PM

I wanted to pass along some sources I have discovered for erasers and lead for Waterman's pencils. I have acquired pencils with Military Clip, 92V, and Lady Patrician. They all had hardened useless erasers, so I measured them and went on a little hunt. It turns out I had .9mm Cross Century from the late 70s or early 80s and the eraser was the perfect size. I ordered some Cross part # 8403 erasers and they are a perfect fit. I retained the brass base from the old erasers, fit the new eraser in and it looks great. I was also able to source 1.1mm leads which many of the pencils use from Autopoint, Inc. The erasers can be ordered from Cross, or Goldspot Pens. Goldspot Pens also vends through Amazon, but marks up 30% to cover the "free" shipping.
