Quite simply, fantastic. I've met Tom quite a few times at the London Pen Show - & always purchased vintage Pelikans from him (they are my principal choice in writing instruments) -nice to see that he is fit & well, because I haven't encountered him since the beginning of the pandemic. Wonderful choice of scribes - particularly, the Pelikano schulpen. Thank you both, Joost & Tom for this presentation. That safety pen too, is absolutely beautiful, Tom !! 🙂
Mr. Westerich, thank you so much for showing the Montblanc from the 1920s! German technology and Japanese precision converted me to fountain pens. I actually believe the perfect fountain pen for a lawyer or banker (unless just professional to the rich and famous, where prestige might matter most) is the Lamy 2000. I never found it comfortable to get ink on my fingers when using a pen in court or in a business meeting. That Montblanc from the 1920s may have won me over! Of course, I love the Pelikan Soveran (especially the M1000 and M800 series) for the office as well. As my beloved Scribo Feel teaches me, “I just love the “feel” of writing with fountain pens. Somehow my heart feels more connected to the paper (and the message) when I write with a wonderful fountain pen. :)
I just got a Pelikan Pelikano jr. It is sturdy, does not dry out, has no sweet spot, is very even, precise and reliable. It perfectly suits this 69-year-old drawer with pens.
Thanks for sharing Tom and opening yet another door in the pen and ink world. Collecting restoring and using vintage pens like these…. Is it possible I have one of your inks (Bisschoffsviolet) from Schach & Westerich Hamburg?
when I went to school, it was national law, (said to be implemented by Pelikan) to learn writing with a fountain pen. not sure if its still a law today.
Fifteen years ago my son’s school was no longer teaching cursive writing! No fountain pens only ball point! Pencils were used for math. German children are so lucky!
Nice to know about Tom and his flair for vintage Fountain Pens

Very special selection!
Thank you. Fascinating approach to history from a modern maker. The Omas design was what seduced me into fountain pens.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stereo recording! 😃

Fascinating.
The Omas pen is exquisite, thank you…
I love that German schoolchildren learn to write with fountain pens.

I love it, too. I only wish that the ugly Lamy Safari & Co. weren’t such a common choice as a student’s first pen.
