					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Two Pelikan 400NN, one green-striped with 14k-gold M nib, the other tortoise brown striped with 14k-gold BB nib! Sitting next to the Geha 605 from yesterday&#8217;s post!! Joy!!! Two, scratch this, three outstanding pens! (see Figure 1) The Pelikan 400NN and the Geha 605 were the middle-tier pens of the mid-1950s and early (to mid-)1960s in Europe. (The Pelis were priced at 25 Deutsche Marken (DM) in 1962, with the top tier priced at 38 DM (or higher, depending on gold adornments), and the third-tier 140 line priced at 15 DM. Source: The Pelikan Collectibles website [PCW].)

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: I enjoy very much drawing with pocket pens. But how long have they been here for? In a previous post, we saw that Sailor made their first Mini at the latest in 1960. But, as it turns out, pocket pens have existed for over 100 years now. This post showcases three pocket pens, from around 1911, 1960, and 2021, so 110 years apart. Overview: Figure 1a showcases three pens, covering about 110 years of pocket-pen making, with about 50 years between each pen&#8217;s manufacturing. The intuition at the core of every pocket-pen design is that a long, even outsized <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/comparison/over-one-hundred-years-of-pocket-pens/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: In this series of posts, I explore the nibs of the 1960s. First up: the nibs produced by Sailor, starting with their pocket pens. Previous in the series: Nibs of the 1960s: Sailor, part I. Nib types(*) present in this post: (*) All nib types are named. The nomenclature is not standard but proposed here. Type 4&#8242; (or 6, after the five types introduced in the previous part): The Sailor “kite” nib, in 14k (Figures 4&#8217;a and 4&#8217;b). Type 7: The Sailor &#8220;logo board&#8221; nib (Figures 7a and 7b). Type 8: The Sailor Magna-L nib (Figures 8a, 8b, and <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/comparison/nibs-of-the-1960s-sailor-part-ii/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Here, side by side, are two Pilot Capless pens, made fifty years apart (1966 and 2016). The Pilot Capless is one of the iconic fountain pens. The Capless has sleek, innovative design: push-button (knock-on) mechanism to reveal or hide the nib, mobile hatch to prevent drying yet allow the need to appear when actuated, large clip so the grip and nib stay upward in the pocket. What&#8217;s in a name? Capless or Vanishing Point? Both: The brand name appears to have changed in 1973 from Capless to Vanishing Point [CR], but today it is common for the same product <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/tryout/two-pilot-capless-pens-fifty-years-apart/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Drawing this maple leaf was a pleasure. The main drawing instrument for this is a PILOT SUPER 200 with a 14k-gold POSTING nib. The prop fell from a tree just a couple of days before the drawing took place. Info: SUPERs were a popular, high-quality line from pen-maker PILOT, through the 1950s and early 1960s. Model SUPER 200 was the large (but not extra large) size, acting as a Montblanc 146 of its time in Japan. Featuring the PILOT fingernail nib, they were excellent writers. This pen has a 14k-gold POSTING nib. POSTING nibs of that time act typically <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/tryout/drawing-of-a-maple-leaf-with-a-pilot-super-200-with-14k-posting-nib/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>
