New toy.

At Xmas, my daughter Leigh gave me a LED ring light for my stereo microscope.
I tried it out on my camera today and thought you might like to see some pix.

Why thank you JJ.

I gave the Lamy Dialog 3 retractable to Ashley for Xmas.
He worked hard (high distinction in physics, distinction in computer programming) and passed his first year at Flinders Uni in Mechanical Engineering. He deserved something a bit different.
The Waterman was a 1995 Xmas gift from Ashley to me and the 149 has been around for a while.

Nice pens Eddie.
The 149 looks like a tri-tone 14C nib and that dates it to approx 1960's until 1972.
Also, the clip looks flat on the outside which also puts it to be a 1960's pen. It's been around for a LONG while, probably older than me.

You know you pens Kai.

But it's not as old as me.
