EPISODE 25: PENS YOU SHOULD BUY NOW, SHEAFFER EDITION PART 2, THE NIBS

As promised in Episode 24 where I talked about old Sheaffer fountain pens I think folks should be buying, this episode follows up with a look at the nibs and how they write. We test out pens from the 1910s to the 1990s, ranging from extra-fine to broad, with some stubs and obliques in the mix. So join me as I look at some great fountain pens and their great nibs. 00:00 Intro 04:08 Student 22 06:16 Lifetime Flattops 10:45 Balances 20:45 Vacuum/Plunger Filler 33:00 Touchdown fillers 40:45 Snorkels 47:57 Cadets 52:32 Imperials and Inlaid Nibs 55:54 Stylist 57:54 More Imperials 01:03:34 Targas 01:01:50 Indian Pens with Sheaffer Nibs 01:11:23 Final Thoughts and Outro Additional information about the models in this video can be found at: https://www.richardspens.com/ref/00_refp.htm https://vintagepens.com/FAQrepair/plunger_filler_repair.shtml https://parkersheaffer.com/sheaffer-repair-manual/ _______________________________________________________________________ Uncapped is created by Joshua Lax, proprietor of the J.J.
