Eversharp Skyline and the Mont Blanc Meisterstuck #12 |
Parker Duofold Jr. |
As Parker was introducing the '51' and Sheaffer the 'snorkel', Eversharp decided to take a different approach to the fountain pen with the Skyline. Henry Dreyfuss is responsible for this unique design. As much as I appreciate the Skyline's design, the nibs are something to note. Some of these Skyline nibs offer a great amount of flexibility, that is exactly was what what I was looking to find.
The Meisterstuck No.12 (German for Masterpiece) is a great hooded design that features an amber coloured ink window that I just plain adore. To sweeten the pot, the pen has a springy italic nib that is as much of a pleasure to use as it is to look at.
Lastly, I had came across a Parker Duofold in the jade colour a little while ago and found it to be an excellent fountain pen. When I discovered that it came in a colour that I fancy, I was determined to find one for my collection.
I am adding 3 great vintage pens to my collection, which 3 pens would you take out of the drawer to make space?
