I would love to have one.😊

I was JUST NOW made aware of this MOST AWESOME pen!! It made me so endlessly disappointed to find out that it was no longer available as of 4 YEARS AGO! Why?! Seriously, my luck, why...?! (Rhetorical)

It's not that they are sold out-I couldn't afford one if they weren't-but I hope you enjoy it in good health.

Cool!

It looks neat. Seams like there is a learning curve. Did it take you long to get used to it?

I stumbled upon a short about this interesting pen today and went looking, only to see that they're sold out probably for a while longer [said october-november 2024] so it's great to see it in action with more detail. Best of luck with your health and projects. May whoever wins this pen enjoy it thoroughly, hopefully I'll have money to get it once it's back if I am not the chosen one <3.

❤

You've likely already given it away, but I happened upon content on Dan's brass pen today and was disappointed that they'd already sold out. I'm ambidexterous and have been getting into cursive and calligraphy with my left hand lately. I find it incredibly therapeutic with music or a good audiobook. Anyhow, if you do still have the pen, maybe consider me for the giveaway! Thank you for your vid

Such a wonderful tool! It looks like it's lovely to work with!

I want that pen. It’s cool.

Do you sell these??

That little thingy it's so cool

Thank you for the review

But why a plactic feeder

I like the blue and yellow one!

Hey, Craig! Just wanted to thank you AGAIN for your info! I just posted a thanks in your old(ish) Visconti HSBA video. Unfortunately, a friend just mangled the nib on my new HSBA. Now, THIS video saved the day. Greg will be repairing mine. He responded immediately - i was shocked. I did tell him your video sent me, and he was quite pleased to hear you're out there sharing his work. So once again, thank you, Craig. You really have been a HUGE help in my fountain pen world.

I thought the boy and girl would get together for a drink in a local speakeasy

Dude thank you so much for scanning and sharing all the catalogs!!

Sweet merciful Jesus that is terrifying…

Congrats on your sobriety man!!! We’re proud of you! And don’t worry about posting non-pen stuff. I have about 500 pens in my collection, but it’s still a love hate relationship with them sometimes. Again, congrats!

Thanks for sharing this, an interesting video!

Зачем нужен пенал на десяток ручек? Я с собой могу носить 1-2

Wonderful! 24 fps really is probably the most accurate frame rate this would have been seen at in 1927, 16 fps is really only appropriate for very early silent films and some home movies.

Hecking fantastic! Finally got the time to watch it and it was worth it, the restoration is exceptional and the music is oddly fitting And I find it amusing that the ad features the Pink Nº7, wasn't that the model which got a color change? I think to black because "nonono, pink can't be a color for a pen made for men!" Which is hilarious and silly!

I'm curious your opinion of the Dr G's Pen Apothecary solution.....

Fun Fact: back before dictation was recorded on dictaphones or voice recorders, stenographers (like the lady here) took down dictation in shorthand (usually either Gregg or Pittman) on a steno pad. And even when ballpoint pens came out, fountain pens were the preferred instrument because you could write faster with less pressure on the point. I believe that Pittman shorthand (which was the method often taught in Catholic and NYC high schools) used different amounts of pressure, hence the emphasis on "shading," I'm guessing. My mom learned Gregg shorthand (which was favored in public and Long Island high schools) and only used one level of pressure. I, on the other hand, took Speedscript almost 50 years ago. You couldn't go as fast as true shorthand, but you could learn it a lot faster. Good for note taking and jobs requiring only "light dictation."

This was lovely! I wish I could go back in time... I'd do so much damage at that store

I don't always buy a pen, but when I do, I make sure it's unequalled in its expediency for manifolding

He looks like Peter Griffin.

The blonde girl looks like actress Pauline Garon

Hm, whom to be for Halloween? the guy, the girl, or Globeman with glasses? as if there's any contest.

So interesting. Thanks for your hard work.

The girl (for so she would have been called back then, as we would today call her a woman) wrote in shorthand. Was it Gregg or Pitman? And what did it say?

My mother was an old school secretary. She could take shorthand just that fast and do 100 WPM on a manual typewriter.

This is so cool Craig! Thanks for posting this!!!!!! :)

I'LL BUY 57

You made two mistakes here. The music is suitable for the 1950s-1960s. It's WRONG for a film from the 1920s. The speed is WRONG. Many "restored" silent films with soundtracks added, are run at the correct speed. Why would you deliberately speed up the film? Would you play a 33 rpm record at 45 rpm?

So amazing! Thanks for rescuing this!

I would rather watch this, than alot of crap they have out now. Fountain pens were a thing back then too. Someone on YT was showing some old pens and also showed inside of a large empty store that was occupied by Waterman. It was like a large jewelry store is now, but of pens. Was that you? Craig

That guy in the department store was a hunk. 😍

They had fun with this globe head I am sure

Ah ah, she put the pen in her purse *before* she even hand the seller the cash. It was that good?!

That girl' s smile was so cute

You are such a legend for preserving this. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I can't believe technology has advanced so much. I'd like a Waterman #7 please!

Really cool 👍

Fantastic!! I will point out that the ad never mentions pen collecting; it's all about buying a pen for use. I'd love to see more of these sort of videos.

As someone who enjoys using Fountain Pens regularly, this was a fascinating thing to watch!

Great restoration, but the music is anachronistic.
