Day One At The Chicago Pen Show… What Did You Pick Up?

[PAHarris]

I found a celluloid Omas in a wonderful royal blue (thanks to Whichwatch), a Vintage MB 144 in green, and a MB 149 with a 2 tone nib from the 80's. It was a very good day! Thanks for looking. Paul

All are beautiful. So jealous. I have planned to go to Chicago show but plans fell through - very disappointed as it would have been my first pen show. But family and friends do have to come first....

 

Enjoy your new pens.

What a great day for you. I love the green striated MB!

It's always easier to spend someone else's money!

 

Beautiful pen, Paul. Love the color! I hope you enjoy it a great deal!

I am green for that green

[orfew]

Fantastic purchases! Like everyone else I love the green striated 144. I hope you enjoy these pens for many years to come.

Very nice finds! Congratulations on your purchases as the green MB is truly a nice-looking pen. You'll also have to tell us how the OMAS writes as the brand has been on my interest list for a while.

Wonderful haul

 

I love the mb pencase!

 

What nib on the Omas?

[KBeezie]

Loving the Green. Wish I could be at that pen show, I'm technically not that far, but I don't have transportation either.

[ellenspn]

Sigh, I get to go tomorrow.

Don;t worry, lots of cool stuff left.

Love that MB 144; looks like what a Pelikan wants to be when it grows up. No offense to Pelikan-lovers meant.

[artibasos]

I picked up a M&K Pelikan 120 for half the price that it's usually sold for on eBay, and it is wonderful. (And fits my small hands perfectly).

 

I fell in love with (but did not buy) the Edison 1.1 stub -- omg, that was one of the smoothest writing experiences I've ever had. New grail pen: Edison Beaumont Pneumatic Filler with a 1.1 stub.

 

Bert Oser let me try a Namiki Falcon, and that, too, I must own. He also surprised me with a spectacularly smooth Duke -- a little heavier than I'd like, but for $15, how could I resist?

I saw a few of the 120's… Came close to getting one. Terrific pick up. Enjoy!
