This is the sign from a Singer Sewing Machines shop from back in the days:

I picked up the same pen on Massdrop. It’s pretty badass IMO

I was looking for a decent fountain pen for edc for me, I loved the body options, but once I saw the attachable clip….I was sold! Fits perfectly over 25oz IH with no fuss and holds on tight.
I was also shocked at how small this really was, how nicely crafted and the nicely weighted body. Writes beautifully too.

That is one sweet-lookin' pen.

Thanks guys. I think I prefer either Japanese or German writing utensils over all others.

Agreed!
It's too tarnished to post right now, but I have the rollerball version of this Namiki sterling pen featuring a samurai rendered in the style of traditional woodblock prints:

Very nice.

Here’s an old toy that I’ve had since the 80’s. It’s from a Japanese cartoon called Votoms and this is the Brutish Dog. Made of plastic and zinc die cast metal. And yes, Japanese toys are in a league of their own

I love Rotring pens and pencils. They are the BMW of the writing world. Very robust and have a great sound and feel. Could be an heirloom.
I always forget about this thread but I picked up a cool sculpture off a local etsy dealer and I wanted to share. A couple years ago I took a liking to a St Louis artist named Saunders Schultz who had recently passed. He was a world renowned sculptor with installations all around the country. Anyway, I found this sculpture and it looked familiar even though it was unsigned (and priced too cheaply). I finally made the mental connection that the sculpture is actually a study piece for a Schultz fountain that is within viewing distance of our family plot at Resurrection Cemetery. I couldnt nab it fast enough! Very pleased to have another little piece of StL history. Last pic is another Schultz study of a fountain.

I’ve put a lot of lead through this one. My son is using it now.

Well I treated myself to a "bi-matière" ST Dupont Fidélio rollerball… Laque blue with plaque silver cap...
It's actually midnight blue, my absolutele favourite colour... Well it's actually my favourite colour for a Ferrari, but those are quite a bit more expensive... This was a mere 200€...
I'll try and take some pics myself soon... This is absolutely new/ unused btw... Not bad for a ~25 year old pen!..
