Writing sample of Nemosine F nib in 1960s Stella Ideal pen, using Waterman Serenity Blue ink. Paper is Tomoe River 52 gsm original

#FPQuestion of the day:
What were your “gateway” vintage pens? What would you recommend as a first vintage pen for someone who has never bought vintage but is interested?

I like the Parker 51 #FountainPen, but I don't like F and EF nibs. And that is a problem because most Parker 51 pens are available with one of those nib types. Finally, I have found one with a B nib (relatively cheap) and now I am quite happy with a Parker 51. #VintagePens

#VintagePens: #Montblanc edition

Left: Montblanc 320P EF (1970s)
Right: Montblanc 24 EF (1960s)

Both have ebonite feeds and work really well with sheen inks.

Spent 20$ on a Waterman 52 from the 1920s that was non functional, these usually go for 200$. After 5 minutes i replaced the sack and she is good as new.

To my surprise she is even a wet noodle which is the most sought after kind.
