Interesting! Thanks.



#38377 Brandon Cifani (Brando090) is engaged in fraud

Posted by Beringsea on 14 November 2014 - 12:56 AM in Elements of Collecting: Hunting, Valuing and Polemicizing

He's back.
 
Good friend Lisa Miyako (ethernautrix) wanted to make a post here, but there will be a delay as her membership is approved. I am helping out by pointing to a thread she started at FPGeeks earlier today: Brandon Cifani is do.char on eBay
 
Read her post, it says it all: she has discovered that, once again, he is proving to be... what he always has been. I don't know what else to say, just check that post until she is approved here. I suppose "once a scammer, always a scammer" isn't too far off base.


He's still doing it?



#35886 What Color English Parker is this?

Posted by Beringsea on 15 July 2014 - 03:16 PM in Post Your Pen Finds

Because your picture is GOOD!

Thanks for the shot. In real life, my 17 appears very similar.



#35882 What Color English Parker is this?

Posted by Beringsea on 15 July 2014 - 12:44 PM in Post Your Pen Finds

Hope you can help me!

What 'official' color would this English Parker 17 be?

I've searched several sites and cannot find an exact match. I got it in a lot of five mixed user-grade pens.

The color apears deep red or burgundy (lighter than on a modern Hero 616).

Cap is silvertone with narrow vertical grooves, the arrow is goldtone, clutch ring appears to be black plastic and the cap jewel matches the body color.

Sorry for the awful cell phone picture, and thanks for your help!

I don't know whether the duotone cap/arrow is a 17 feature....Frankenpen? Or what?



#34749 Couple of flea market finds

Posted by Beringsea on 28 April 2014 - 02:15 PM in Post Your Pen Finds

Thanks.

Since the Super 21 writes as is, and very nicely too, I am going to leave it as is, and just enjoy using it.

I will probably consider fixing up the Duofold in the future.



#34519 Couple of flea market finds

Yes, the Duofold is definitely a button-filler.

Now how on earth would someone manage to shrink a hood like that? 0_O and is that why the feed doesn't fit?

Thanks!



#34501 Couple of flea market finds

Posted by Beringsea on 14 April 2014 - 04:45 PM in Post Your Pen Finds

Parkers. What have I gotten myself into?

Thrift_Store_Pens-610w.jpg

The black one is probably a Super 21 and the section is messed up...like someone decided to heat-shrink it. But it still writes when the nib is water-dipped...a dark blue or blue-black color.

The striped one has, well, no nib. And chips on the threads. But they're mine, all mine.

Hope I didn't pay too much. -_-;

Can anyone tell me more?



#31734 For the not-so-serious collectors....

Posted by Beringsea on 03 January 2014 - 02:41 AM in Post Your Pen Finds

Ahhh. I love what you did with the faceted pearl-and-black pen!



#31727 The Parker 180. Serious Eye Candy.

Posted by Beringsea on 03 January 2014 - 01:56 AM in PARKER: (USA "Big Five")

Oh, those ARE cool. That nib. And those colors!



#30362 The Janesville Pen Hoard, Found Oct 2013.PICS

Posted by Beringsea on 11 December 2013 - 08:33 PM in Post Your Pen Finds

I had a modern Chinese pen with a somewhat similar nib, but the Parker...It looks like a letter-opener.



#30224 The Ohio 2013 Pen Hoard. Monster 51's and More...

Posted by Beringsea on 08 December 2013 - 01:40 PM in Post Your Pen Finds

This brings back memories! Too bad I wasn't interested in fountain pens at the time of that Fair.

Awesome find all around.

Hi Sailor,
 
How can't you stay logged in?  When I log in, it seems good for return visits.  Are you losing the status even with a page refresh, or with quitting browser?

#30033 Boardware update.

Posted by Beringsea on 28 November 2013 - 03:16 PM in Greetings + Latest News

Hi,

Well, given the unhappy mess that is the control panel for Invision Power, I'm don't know why Brian, John and Sailor are encountering these issues.  I'm a bit swamped today as the Ikea team is here installing some massive wall units for the pen room and living room. I am off the next three weeks and will play with the controls.  I would think if the "follow thread" button shows, then it would work. Perhaps though it still needs to be enabled via the control panel. Clearly, many things were reset with the boardware update.  I will touch base as well on the user forums, probably over the upcoming holiday weekend.

Do bear with things.   The new boardware does have some powerful features, and at least we still have some good content.

The button isn't working, and I have replies enabled. O welz....

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Sailor,
 
At top right of page in any thread, just above "reply to this topic" is a "follow this topic" button. I think that subscribes. Hope so anyway.
 
Not sure where your avatar went (I didn't delete it), but that should be reuploadable in your member profile.

I found that. Thanks. (See? Lol)

But I'm still not getting topic reply notices.
