Luis Store is closed on Saturdays. make sure to go on a weekday.
my very first fountain pens. first on the left is the Parker I.M. with a fine nib. The teal pen is the fine point Pilot 76G. Next to it is the green Youth 208 pen and the other one has Youlian on the clip but has Tiantan 219 engraved on the body.
this is how my Smith Corona Sterling looked when i got it from the store, fresh in from an old warehouse haul. but first time i laid eyes on it, i knew it would be a looker after i clean it up. i was right. works perfectly now, too.
I'm a big fan of these photo-typographic travelogue posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd to hear reports of your successful typevangelism warms my old heart.
I agree, a typecast travelogue is the next best thing to being on the hunt myself. Thanks for a little taste of Manila. The pens look beautiful, and the Sterling is a good find -- excellent typewriter. May you and your friend enjoy swimming in the "inky quagmire."
ReplyDeleteThat sterling is prettier than my 1966 one. I enjoy your posts too. I need to carry a camera with me more often.
