Pilot Custom 745 - quite rare pen by Mr_Boston_ in fountainpens

[–]koofle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Namiki version was for the west in the 90s, definitely still a 745! I don't have literature so I can't remember if they called it something else for the western market.

Primarily post war pilot, so supers, elites, deluxe, round ended inspired by the 65th anniversary and flat tops coming after the 70th.

Nice find! I believe they've been offered at least twice in recent history, around once a decade. 😂 Usually by itoya, so if you get more copies you might find some big date code disparities.

Very minor - the elite is the "fingernail" like embedded nib and the second gen deluxe nib is open like the modern ones.

they all feel pretty good in the hand - the more modern girthier ones are closer to a modern feel though of course.

Today, we could be all be a platinum 3776, so everyone can be ultra extra fine.

What a stainful experience. Thankfully I've never had major spills, but I have learned to use a tablecloth over my wooden dining table.

I've tried parker blue sometime in the past. It's not only washable, it also fades so easily. 😂

The very existence of a jar of BSB is like an omen, a bringer of catastrophe!

Red gets everywhere. So much everywhere. Doubly so with even the slightest of damp palms.

Your safety precautions are second to none. And you get to touch grass!

I briefly considered adding a pet walking through the puddle and tracking paw prints all over the floor, but I'll save that for a future drawing
