Ohio Pen Show Haul 2024

[@carson7419]

Yes drum roll...💚✨

[@ibpopp]

You have excellent taste in pens. The beauty of silver is that it only improves with age. Cheers from Australia.

[@singlesideman]

So many thanks. I really appreciate that. I adore silver, and the character and depth it develops with patina. All my best to you and yours and the rest of Australia. I've got at least one good pen friend down there...

Oh wow, fun show California beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beautiful beautiful

[@singlesideman]

As I said in response to your identical comment here, thank you so much, although this was the Ohio show, not California.

[@carson7419]

I would love to go to a pen show. Oh my god that’s so cool cool Richard is one of my favorite go to person.

[@singlesideman]

You really should go to one. They're incredible.

[@carson7419]

Lucky guy✨💥💯💯💯

[@singlesideman]

Thanks. I had a blast.

[@carson7419]

Really doesn’t look like you have a problem with railroading at all because that is a really nice net. Thank you for sharing.

[@singlesideman]

Thank you for saying so, and for watching!

[@singlesideman]

I am wondering, though, what you mean by a really nice net - you mean the haul overall, or the pen itself, or what exactly?

[@malcolmgay2206]

Congratulations on your special lucky purchases. What amazing fountain pens

[@singlesideman]

Thank you so much! It was a really phenomenal show, and so were the people, and pens. It's a special show. It feels like home.

Amazing pen haul Todd! Particularly that thermometer one. So great to watch. Congrats on finding.

[@singlesideman]

A million thanks! It was fantastic finding some real treasures, and by that I mean both rare pens and rare people. What a wonderful time...

[@carson7419]

O fun… Todd great time

[@singlesideman]

I'm so glad! Thank you very much.

[@cesarchavarria6644]

Wow! Such Great Finds!!!

[@singlesideman]

Thank you so much! It was a tremendous experience seeing everyone, and talking and being with them, learning, finding treasures - there was so much goodness...

[@carson7419]

Drum roll…. Please show the beautiful pen

[@cedarbylard]

Awesome Todd, what a fun haul.

[@singlesideman]

Thank you so much!

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

Thanks, Todd. That doctor's pen is really cool! Maybe the last pen just needs the feed cleaned??

[@singlesideman]

Thanks! Isn't it amazing? The feed in the last pen, the Waterman's 52, is clean. The pen was just fully restored. It performs perfectly. Any nib like this one, that is this flexible and that flexes this much, will be starved for ink occasionally when writing this quickly, because the nib is pulled so far away from the feed that it breaks the contact of the ink from the feed to the nib, so the ink can't make contact with the tines, and therefore move down to the point of the nib. Also, there's a tremendous amount of ink being laid down, and very quickly, so even with the deepest ink channels there is a limit to how much continuous ink flow is possible. I've exceeded the capabilities of these extremely flexible nibs and very capacious feeds. .

[@carson7419]

Yes it’s beautiful… let’s flow some ink .

[@singlesideman]

Many thanks! I love these pens so much.

[@briangronberg5648]

I left with three Nakaya’s 😂 I’m eating ramen for the next two months.

[@singlesideman]

I so get it. I've been looking for a job for three months.

[@carson7419]

Yeah, and you have kitty cats and I’m sure the kitty cats would love to play with the pens so good idea

[@singlesideman]

I don't have kitty cats at the moment, but I do love them.

[@CaribouDataScience]

Wait I was there and I didn't see you. I got away with only $120 in damages 😊

[@singlesideman]

I was there every day of the show, Thursday through Sunday. I'm not sure how you got out of there spending so little.

[@carson7419]

Oh wow, fun show California beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beautiful beautiful

[@singlesideman]

Thank you very much! It was a lovely show, but it was the Ohio show, not California.
