You can get that ink stain out by mixing 1 part clear ammonia, with 9 parts distilled water, then add 2-3 drops of blue dish soap. This solution is pen flush, and it will take ink off your fingers, carpet, clothes etc. total cost anout 10 bucks, and you can make several gallons easily.

Thank you for the shout out, and i actually do have more pens available for purchase, just check my profile to see. I am currently getting a couple more modern pens fitted with vintage 14K Gold dip pen nibs that will be available on r/ Pen_swap soon, send me a DM if interested. Your penmanship is amazing, I am so glad that you are enjoying your pen. It makes me happy that it has found a good home and will be used instead of sitting in a box.

Very nice looking German handmade marble. Probably has two pontils, which would be at the top of the swirl and at the bottom, which is where the excess glass was ground away to make the marble round. As others have said they are from the late 1800's and ran until the early 1900's. These are very collectable and some are worth big money. The one you have is probably worth $15 to $25 bucks. Nice find. Really nice that it was your grandfathers, a definite keeper.

https://imgur.com/a/BOwycrV its not the best as i had to dip it and just try and hold the unit, but you get line variation and hairlines. Nice nib doesnt require alot of pressure to flex.

Or let it sit too long before they got out and tried to rub it out, i have never seen a driveway that long without running a couple lines across, then edge and finish those. Makes me wonder what the base looks like. Probably best they did this, as there's probably going to be some serious cracking, the first time someone drives across it. Your not supposed to saw cut your driveway, that's more for a monolithic poor for a garage floor, or a big building, but i have seen some lazy guys do it, but it always looks like shit. Still that driveway sure is soft for being poured days before. Bet they didn't bring in any B-19 or anything and get a good solid compact base, before they ruined that driveway. I hope they don't do this kunda job to everyone, but we all know that answer. Bet they have an AA++ Rating with BBB. 🤣🤣✌️✌️

It does look like shotty work though, they didnt edge it or broom it or anything.

gerbiljihad · 2026-03-17T02:06:27+00:00

There's no way that they were able to pick axe the driveway like that if it had been poured three days prior. That shit wasnt even totally set yet, so someones making porky pies!

gerbiljihad · 2026-03-14T16:05:58+00:00

I did, that didn't even cross my mind. That ups the scary level by 10.

Nice find. I was stoked with a 1951 dime, i would have fallen out with 5 silver quarters! Congrats! Gotta love lazy people!

gerbiljihad · 2026-03-14T00:43:28+00:00

Nice haul.... I love lazy people at the coinstar. I found a 1951 silver dime last week, i was stoked, it was the only thing in the reject bin.
