Sorry, it´s just the Prussian education in me ....Attention to detail, who would have guessed it would be you to shame our British piglets with their well used shaggy hair!

Two drops, two chips. They add character, I guess.

Beautiful, well cared for brushes. Thanks for showing us them.My humble collection.View attachment 26878
Left to right: Semogue: 1305,1470,830,1438. Erasmic: Boar bristle. Wilkinson Sword:Boar bristle.
Every month i wash & scrub them with a old toothbrush in a mild solution of washing up liquid and a small amount of white vinegar,then condition them with Cien Tea tree hair conditioner, which leaves them smelling nice, and workable.
They are all wonderful working brushes once broken in IMHO, my joint favourites would the Semogue: 1305 & 1470 both brushes i find are good for face or bowl lathering, with either soap or creams. I love my boar brushes.

Absolutely nothing. These pens are amazing. Especially the ones made between July 1937 and March 1938. After that the pens suffered because of the shortage of good celluloid. At least that's what I hear.And what may I ask is wrong with Pre war Latvian Celluloid Eyedropper Fountain Pens????
