This beautiful and mysterious safety pen was shown to me by Rob Parsons. The tapering shape of the pen suggests that it is a late one. The mottled hard rubber is lovely as it always is. Who made it? It has a superficial resemblance to Waterman pens and it has an 18k Waterman nib. There’s […] read more

Between August 2019 - August 2020, I managed to use all 300 pages of a Katie Leamon lay flat notebook. You can see my initial post about it here and how it ended up here. Later on in this post, you'll see it even more battered than before. Since then, I've added another three to my collection and they all complement each other nicely in design. Ultimately, I think they are... read more

It is hard to believe that 2021 is just two weeks away from drawing to its close. Not only is another disjointed and surreal year ending but it seems like the long shadow of the coronavirus pandemic will carry well into 2022. To counteract the doldrums of the pandemic, many have sought refuge and solace […] read more

Mario Kaouklis kindly sent me photos and information of this telescopic eyedropper in black hard rubber with a metal overlay. It was described initially as Mabie Todd, probably because it has a Swan nib but it clearly isn’t. The pen measures 95mm (without ring) closed but extends to a generous 135mm. There’s no indication of […] read more

This pen was advertised as green marbled, something you don’t find among Swan Minors. The photographs were no help but I placed a bid anyway. I got the pen and when it arrived it turned out to be Marine Bronze which, admittedly, has some green in the mix. Marine Bronze is a mixture of russet […] read more
