== Identifying Pens from Poor Photos ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I love this. Yeah. I get emails saying, hey, I saw this pen in the show. What is it? And I was like, I have no idea because it's, you know, it's your basic black and gold pen. And the picture quality is terrible. And I can't tell you what it is. But keep sending them because I think it's fascinating. But this one had a...

'''Myke Hurley:''' The problem for me is I can never tell unless it's like completely obvious. Like this one, yeah, no problem. I know it's a Lamy Safari. But like people send me like links to these pens that are just like black and gold. And it's just like... If people send them to me and they haven't tagged you, I will at that point usually tag you.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. And like this is, you know, I've mentioned that I love the show Peaky Blinders. And, you know, it's in the early 1900s in England. And there's plenty of pen and fountain pen usages. And every time one comes up, my wife like yells at me. And I was like, I can't tell what any of these are. I have no clue. Like they all look the same, but they're all different. So, but this one, yeah, the White Lamy Safari, it is completely thrashed. I love this pen so much because it looks like crap. Like the ink's linking out the nib and the connection. It looks like it's never been cleaned. And I just thought it was... That's what I want to see out of people's pens, right? That's a pen that's well-loved and well-used. Like how can you not love seeing that pop up in a commercial like this? I think it was pretty neat. So, yeah, people, y'all can send me some more.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I like the white one with the gray accents.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it was hard to get that image in there. It's all blurry because it's zipped by so fast. I couldn't really get a good shot of it. But it's a mess in the best way possible. I know how to clean up a mess, Myke. Oh, like a mess on your face? Yeah, a mess on my face.
