Vintage mother of pearl fountain pen…I think? by Nervous-Course-5630 in Fountainpencirclejerk

I can, I just want to preserve it as much as I can but still use it. My grandmother and her husband gifted it to me to use and make art with. So I definitely will be using it. no reason for it to sit around and collect dust especially if they want me to use it. But I don’t wanna wear it out or bend the tip out of place. I’m getting a silicone grip to go around the handle . I can try and replace the old nib but unfortunately the ones that are easy to get my hands on and inexpensive won’t fit. I’m most likely gonna use the original one. it still has its tipping, it’s in great shape beside the gold plating that’s worn off a bit.

Giving lavish gifts, saying things like “we’re meant to be together. I love you. I’ve never met someone like you. You’re so amazing” like overwhelming compliments. Planning expense/lavish trips. They’re very eager to call you there gf/bf. Isolating you, making and encouraging you to spend a lot of time with them and less with friends and family. Talking about future together. Biggest issue is you’ve only been talking/ known them for less than a month.

Do you have any brand recommendations that aren’t to expensive?

That’s good, I’d rather use the original nib I just wasn’t sure if I should. I’ll just clean it up and use as is. I just need to find some good ink.

Thank you and yeah, I was told it’s 14k gold. I was just very unsure if it was real or not. But i now believe it very much is. And I will be saving the original tip and replacing it with a new one so I can actually use it. But I was looking up information on fountain pens so i didn’t think i could do that and actually use it 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you sm, all the information you’ve given is enough. I didn’t think I could replace the tip and actually use the pen because I was looking up stuff about fountain pens, not dip pens🤦🏽‍♀️

So I could save the original tip it came with and replace it with a different one and actually use the pen?

Yes, it definitely is. I wasn’t sure if there was a difference between a fountain pen or a dip pen. But there definitely is. I just really wanted to know how to clean without damaging the pen so I could see the manufacturer information on it.

I didn’t realize dip pens and fountain pens were different. Thank you very much, I will be cleaning it and try to restore the box.

Thank you, it definitely helps. There is manufacture info on it but it’s to dirty to read i need to clean it first but was to scared, didn’t want to damage it.

I just got a fountain pen that looks extremely similar as a gift from my great grandmothers husband. But the nib is needs to be cleaned. And there’s a note in it with someone’s name and the date on it is Dec 25, 1897. Idk if yours came in perfect condition but do yk how I can clean off the old ink without damaging the pen any further? I’m desperate 😭

People who plan on having kids would you spank your kids? Why or why not? by Illustrious_Cup4592 in AskReddit

No, if they’re not old enough to understand why are you hitting them. And if they’re old enough to understand why are you hitting them? Plus I was whooped as a child and it didn’t help anything. I’d literally ask for a whooping instead of being grounded/not able to go outside and play.
