three pens sentimental

My very dear friend of Juvenal emailed me this beautiful text that demonstrates an idea he and I share: the fountain, use and enjoy, beyond the value of the piece to sink in the sentimental story of its owner. I'll leave then.

sentimental History three pens

For Juvenal

My childhood came when the pens were almost all land ceded to the pen. The bureau of home, land of the father he only agreed to the hand of my mother, and ever greater cause, they were, retired with respect, the two feathers from my parents. His, illustrious unknown piston damage odd accident at work, paired with the Parker amicably it.

Although it was fashionable to the gift of the pen as a cadet of the First Communion, mine coincided with only two pens, one a Cross suffered injuries distracted and nervous child of seven years that I was. But he did not stop me admiring that caused these two venerable fountain, probably talking with a retired Pelikan ink.

do not know if vdes., Patient readers, saw the arrival of the Stypen. Coincided with my troubled pre-adolescence. A lack of better entertainment that use it, I paid several weeks allowed me to buy one of them and their cartridges. This cartridge away from the boots of my parents, but with a little work I could see traces of that brass nib on the paper. He discovered how acquired fluency in the stroke, although there were not the miracle of making me sad more legible handwriting. I always knew that, secretly, my mother was pleased to see me go to class with pen this humble wonder.

Many years later, in one of those early inheritance that you get an adult, my mother sent me two feathers vernerables retired. Needless to say, are the best place in my meager collection, and will remain so even if the chance to bring me any jewel of writing. A loose piston by time, a nib distorted by the use, representing years of strenuous and poorly paid, adult path metaphorical ink who sweated to the beat of his jib that I have ample opportunity for even the amateurish writing on the Blog pens a friend to look any further than the other and a pen with me even to deliver when needed.

The effect of heat on celluloid

The Esterbrook pens are a very attractive American and grateful for the collector who wants to specialize in them, as there are many models, many different colors and are easy to find cheaply. I have the luck to have a good number of feathers from this brand models J, LJ and Dollar Pen.

As I suppose you know, had the peculiridad jib submitted unscrewed, thus facilitating the adaptation of the pen to the tastes of the buyer, as well as cleaning and repair, if necessary. Loading system was the lever, so it is also relatively easy to repair if it manages to find bags in good condition.

But they had a little problem: not tolerate heat well. This is what is the celluloid when it is not excessive quality and above all, when you are not providing adequate care. That must be the heat causing the curvature of the part that I show in the picture.

Sorting (and users)

Sometimes I think there are several types of feathers that correspond to as many types of users: Pen-

• instrument. These pens are designed to be used daily as a writing tool. Of course, we find pieces of different quality levels to suit the different purchasing power of potential users. Only the big brands, which for me become great brands for this very reason we offered models aimed at different user levels (Parker, Waterman, Sheaffer, Aurora, Lamy, Pelikan, Pilot, for example) while other manufacturers have specialized or user purchasing a certain level or type of fountain whose primary objective is not writing. Fancy Feather
• or collectors. A few years here seems to have become the fashion of the fountain pen, as seems to mean the proliferation of unbranded parts suggest known or the release of collections of feathers around a theme (writers, story writing, etc. .) However, still not written in pen. The compraddores of this type of pen seem to want to book them for contemplation and visual enjoyment. These are models made of materials quality, but not too flashy designs and are, no doubt, a mainstay of the world implortante pen today and a pool of future addicts pen. A dear friend is a strong advocate of this type of pen and take this opportunity to remind you I'm waiting for that "praise from the pen of fantasy" that he promised to write and I'm looking to publish in this blog.
• Pen-gem. I refer to high-end models in which the tool becomes an object of class, why not say, ostentation. For me personally, they are pieces that dazzle me with no doubt, but do not think I ever was able to carry to work. Not understand them as tools for writing, but as ornaments or accessories that are used at certain times. Pen-
• reply. Related to the feathers, jewelry and high end replicas appear as a feather expression of "love and I can not." In some cases it is fountain of relative quality lose their value by the desire to imitate well-known pieces. Models such as the Parker Sonnett or brands like Montblanc, Cartier Dupont or are suffering from this problem further replication.
• Pen-art. This is a current trend in some brands like Kynsey, DaniTrio, Namiki, Platinum and other Maki-e, which makes the writing instrument in an artistic medium. I can not imagine writing a series Kinsey stories, for example, but watching it in a glass case and admire the picture drawn on the barrel and cap.

Anyway, here are some insights very personal about the current pen. I hope to read your opinions, sure, extend, correct and improve the outlook.
