  1. With Mitt or not, get over #Amercia and spend some time studying the real issues. Ads, gaffes, and sound bites don't govern countries.
  2. Gotta love companies that deceive you by not giving you all the info. Case in point: the Seltzer Goods Seven Year Pen. bit.ly/L38SvR
  3. @PilotPenUSA We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard...
  4. Coming in the next Nib Noise: How to Restore the Snorkel Filling System. Subscribe now, it's easy & free. bit.ly/JOryNq #fountainpen
  5. @FontSquirrel @myfonts @typeoff Grotesque/Grotesk name has been used since early 1800s. Invent new name, lose recognition in prime market.
  6. A new batch of Belmont Pens just rolled into the Nashua Pen Spa in two sharp new colors: Caribbean and Galápagos. bit.ly/LYCQSM
  7. For you "51" fans, I've just updated my profile to include the Red Band and C/C versions, plus more info in the text. bit.ly/KYaoUh
  8. They're ba-a-a-ck! After a hiatus while we made a new batch, the New Dunn Pen Standard is once again in stock. <bit.ly/sr757V>
  9. @Janetter_jp are you anywhere close to having a fix for the frequent freeze in V3.4 on Mac?
  10. We now have Nº 14x2-1/4" and Nº 17-1/2x1-7/8" necked sacs. These are EXACT REPLACEMENTS for Snorkel and PFM/'49 Touchdown, respectively.
  11. We have a SOLID GOLD Eversharp Skyline on our sale tray. $700+ scrap value, not priced all that much more! Jump now! <bit.ly/IyBzCe>
  12. If U looked at my lever box article & found last 4 pix missing, it wasn't U, it was me. It's fixed, pix are there now. Sorry for the oopsie.
  13. @pstemari The M605 has silver furniture instead of the M600's gold. It's an updated look.
  14. Repairers, have you ever gotten stuck because of a broken Waterman lever box? Complete repair instructions are here! <bit.ly/JeAGMC>
  15. The new Pelikan M605s are here! Not many, though, and not for long. (They're a Special Edition.) Don't miss out! <richardspens.com/?pens=pel+m600>
  16. We're getting more colorful these days. We now have the Pilot Custom 74 in five, count em FIVE, colors. <richardspens.com/?pens=nam+cust…>
  17. We've seen that Noodler's Baystate Blue can kill the plastic feeds in Namiki/ Pilot pens. We recommend you not use Baystate in these pens.
  18. As your restoration skills advance beyond basics, you'll find yourself needing some more sophisticated tools. <tinyurl.com/cnm8mr8>
