For you fountain pen people... Would there be any interest in a "group buy" for steel nibs with the IAP logo stamped on them? Maybe not necessarily the IAP logo, but a logo that we, as the IAP, come up with.
I've been looking into getting some nibs made with my own logo. I've gotten some info from Bock in Germany and It looks like it may be a bit more than I am willing to spend.
But in talking to another IAP member, he mentioned that it might be worth looking into to get other members to help foot the bill and come up with our own logo and do a group buy type deal. I was even thinking of just getting some nibs with the Bock logo, since alot of fountain pen "afficionados" probably recognize Bock as the top nib manufacturer...
If you are currently using Lou's or someone elses nibs, I am not trying to take business away from anyone else. I just want to know if this is even worth pursuing any further. Please give me your feedback. I know alot would depend on cost and I don't even have all of that info yet, but I can tell you that having a custom stamp made would cost around $1,000. That would be a one-time fee. Once the stamp is made, it would be kept at Bock and could be used again and again...
