As May showers batter the ground into yielding up June flowers (it’s Canada, folks– our seasons are no respecters of old lyrics), a few fresh updates appear. The first, and in place long enough that this is now a late announcement, I have put together a page for a pen which I’ve have for more …

A New Bird in Springtime (and some cleaning)
The Pelikan which I mentioned in the previous notice has arrived– it’s a Pelikan 25, the mysterious ur-cartridge pen (sort of) of my favorite* German company. As a result, I’ve been able to run up a page for it and its fraternal twin, the 15. Also new, thanks to a local source beginning to stock …

The least pressing post to date
In anticipation of the arrival of a Pelikan I have never met before, I was doing a little preliminary research for a new page. I discovered while doing so a few small facts that made me revise entirely the page for the “New Pelikans” of 1965 (until they weren’t really new anymore). The result has …

Clad all in steel
I’ve just added a page for the Pilot Myu, having had one in the shop to have its flow sorted out. Also, there’s now a sample of Waterman Florida Blue on the page for that company’s inks. If you’re thinking, “What, you’re only getting around to that now?!” I can only hang my head in …

A freshly laid easter egg
I’ve just produced a new little surprise, and hidden it away at the bottom of the page about cartridges where no one will ever look– a chart which, with some caveats, shows what cartridges will fit in which pens. It won’t change the world, but it might make it a very little bit easier to …

A gain in Delta
This is not an announcement of a spacecraft maneuver, alas; my delta-vee remains as ever at zero. However, the arrival into my hands of a Delta Fusion 82 called for the creation of a page for it, which moved me to get cooking on the long-fallow page for the company itself. Why “long-fallow?” Well, the only …

It’s getting damp in here.
That’s nothing to do with the proverbial April showers, but rather an increase of the Waterman content here. There is a page for the Charleston and the L’Etalon, both of modern production. This has also seen an updating of the family album. There have also been some updates to the main Waterman page and a few …

Just Under the Deadline
That deadline being the highly artificial one of adding an update post before the end of January. The news to report is three-fold: First, I’ve finally added an entry for the modern Parker Duofold, thanks to someone deciding they wanted the point amended slightly. In actual new news, there’s a couple of extra profile pages at …

The Great Day!
Well… it’s an OK day, a little overcast, with Winter definitely announcing its impending descent. But it is the first Friday in November, so it’s Fountain Pen Day! I could hardly let the day pass unnoted. …and because this is meant to be a place for update announcements, I’ll mention the addition of pages for …
