Hi I'm Craig! I love collecting Fountain Pens! From antique Waterman's Ideal pens and ephemera that are over 100 years old, to modern user pens, and Japanese Maki-e pieces that are literal works of art! I also go to a few fountain pen shows and events that I cover here as well. I will occasionally talk about wrist watches and anything else that I think is interesting! Thanks for hanging out!

1927 16mm Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen - RESTORED 24fps w/Music
At long last, here it is! I bought this 1927 film for $40 on eBay back in March and I finally got it into the right hands! Justin from @originsarchival restoring and preserving this nearly lost media. I will be making a video soon about the different processes it took to get to this finished restoration but it came a long way!
The pens featured are the Waterman's Number Seven in Green and Pink. The end says "now you have seen all six" but this version doesn't show the other four colors. The music is royalty free from epidemic sound and I thought it suited it well. This is a silent film after all!
**Note: The correct speed for a silent film is 16fps but I chose the faster 24fps for this mus...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know what has been going on in my head for the last few months and what the future of my channel will be for now.

WATERMAN'S No. 7 - Color-Coded Pens!

Hey everyone! Back in 2022, I made a video talking about these pens with the little bit of knowledge I had on them. Since then, I have "completed" the set as far as I possibly can and I wanted to share an in-depth overview of the series. I am getting better at filming but I am still learning on how to color correct the video in post. It is definitely a challenge! Follow me on Instagram! instagr...

WHAT IS A PUMP FILLER? Waterman's Ideal
Просмотров 6429 месяцев назад
Hey everybody I am back with a new video about some OLD pens! Waterman had 4 early self filler mechanisms before they got to the lever in 1915. It may have a fatal flaw but they are still highly sought after by collectors! A commentor mentioned the other day "I am not RUclips" and it got me thinking. I have started every video off with "Hey RUclips!" so starting today, I will be saying "Hey Eve...

Desiderata Daedalus 3.2 - DIP FLEX ON THE GO!
Those Waterman’s are amazing
When I bought that pen I cannot open it I will show you the pen now
drying into next week
Are the stl files available?
It is crazy how those designs are so much more involved than a modern fountain pen.
Hi Craig- I’ve been obsessing over this pen and now have it in my box at Appelboom at a great price. It’s out of stock though, som my question is, how long do I need to wait for? I’m bracing for maybe 6-12 months but can this be trusted? I must have this pen!!! Thanks
I've been subbed since the very beginning of your channel. I first subbed because of your personality and honestly kind of lost interest when you started focusing on pens. But I stayed around and I'm looking forward to your future videos!
And a great watch brand! Frank in Colorado
You missed one of the best pens in your German collection, the Pelikan 400nn
Don't know how you manage to buy anything from Antique Diggers, it's always sold out when I check.
I don’t anymore. Greg tried ripping me off a few years back and now we aren’t on speaking terms anymore.
@@CraigRoccanova - That's a shame, I'm sure it happens more often than we think. I find their pens way overpriced anyway.
Interesting range of items, Craig. Nice to see you back on the interwebzz. I've been subscribed for some time, though I avoid many other pen bloggers. When I was a model at an art college the teacher made a pen from bamboo for me. Interesting object, which I no longer own.
Can you tell me if the nib 18 kt 10 size Namiki Chinkin is better than the one of 149 montblanc? Thanks 🎉
My dialogue 3 mechanism broke down after 1 year of use.. would not bother with LAMY again in general.
Ugh! I’m in the process of selling off my collection and this makes me yearn for the days of opening boxes I knew had vintage pens. 😩
I covet this pen! So hard to find the elusive pink. The quest continues.
How much and where did you buy it
Awesome video, thanks for giving a hands on look at this gorgeous bracelet!
Thanks for checking it out!
I fell into the Nakaya trap in June with Dorsal fin 1. It’s December and just purchased my 9th. Two have roll stops, one dragon and one serpent. The dog is a nice edition!
Is this an updated design? on Kakimori's website, it says you can't put the cap on the tail end of the pen when writing.
😂 you gift the pen for nothing? If yes Ok I am God
People say the converter stops to work after some use! What about it?😮
Is the 14k nib soft?
For 5 fountain pens those picks are killer
I may see if I can make something similar on my own.
No cut off date for the give-away? :T That would have been helpful to know. Hope I still made it in time. Anyway, glad you're showing off this pen. Looks neat.
Shoot me an email craigroccanova@gmail.com
What is the difference between Starwalker Grey and the Cool Crey I just picked up this summer? I like the Cool Grey, it is about a shade too light but it is nice ink.
The Mordan pencils actually have multiple lead sizes. Size H is 0.8mm. Size M is 1.0mm. Size VS is 1.5mm. Many of the American ones are 0.9mm or 1.18mm. I have around 200 pencils in my collection. Have you ever heard of John Veley and The Leadhead Pencil Blog? He has done extensive research and cataloging on these pieces.
❤ teddy balzbazar 🎉🎉🎉
Love calligraphy This would be cool ☺️
How much is this in shopee lazada or amazon?
That pen is so cool! Love the purple ink, too!💜
I wish I had seen this channel and video sooner. I would have LOVED to have had a chance to win the piston pen. I want one so bad. Anyway, I found you because of it and live the channel. Can't wait to watch more!!
Just be careful, the Graf von Faber Castell fountain pens tend to have a singing nib. Sometimes they do get a bit noisy
Man I would love to have such a unique pen!! 🤤
Where can I get one 😊
What is price of this pen ❤❤❤❤
In India it is 5 lakh 95 thousand
Just ordered one and was wondering what can with it nice video
I just found that pen through yt and wanna try it so bad!💖 I wonder how it'll look drawing on more angles of the blade. I've used normal dipping pens before, but I don't like the flexibility of the nib and glass pens are too round, though I bet there's more cool pens to try out there🤔
What nib size has this fountain pen?
This one or Pelikan m800/1000? Which one do you prefer?
Definitely this one.Cant agree more mate! Got one today..my fav one now in Grenadila wood!
Wow that's a really cool pen to do sketches with. I love doing ink artwork . Thanks for sharing the pen and all of the cool ephemera. I've food a a couple interesting ephemera in second hand stores. I actually collect vintage tin boxes.
I would love to have one.😊
