Orange pens?

[Garageboy]

So what pens come in orange and look good in it?

[philm]

There are many vintage large flat top pens that come in orange. First and foremost would be the Parker Duofold (in my opinion). Often copied by other manufacturers, there are many "orange" pens out there from the same period.

Some of the Krone Modernes came in orange and... combos. Orange and pink, clear orange demo with red flecks. Then there's a VP edition in orange.

I have a freshly minted Glenmont by Brian Grey (Edison Pen Co. formerly Pencraft) in orange ebonite and it looks great. Take a look at the review I wrote on April 3 (page 2 of Fountain Pen Reviews) as there are pictures. Bexley has a Deluxe I in orange resin that looks fantastic as well, but they're scarcer than hens' teeth. Vintage Parker Duofolds look terrific in orange too.

Look at Pelikan M320 - somethung between yellow and orange.

A very nice small pen ( 11cm)

In its Deluxe series, Bexley had a lovely orange Big Red look alike. Delta also had an orange and black (cap) 366 series pen. John Mottishaw recently had a Bexley LE that he called "Tea Time" that was an orange and black (cap) Poseidon. And there have been a couple 1990's Duofolds that were also Big Red inspired. I have two in Centennial size and one International size. Of course, MontyB made the ever popular Hemmingway Writer's LE in a 149 sized orange/black.

I'd second the Dolce Vita - its orange resin is absolutely spectacular. The overall black/orange design is very tastefully done. (Though I had to return mine since that sweet factory stub would not start...)

 

Lamy Flame and the recently discussed Sapporo SE in orange/GT look very nice to me too.

Visconti Millennium Arc II. It looks good in orange, and it's what I'm getting, even if the orange isn't the *best* looking one in the series (IMHO).

 

And on the cheaper side: Sheaffer Fashion. It was my 2nd fountain pen, and even now after I've bought so many other pens that are all more expensive, its bright orange color still never fails to lift my mood.

Filcao Pens In Italy makes a really nice orange and yellow one that looks like a old Parker

I love my orange Omas 360.

[asexton]

The first one in my mind was the Delta Dolce Vida (I was surprised it wasn't mentioned in the first reply). The Orange VP is a limited edition, and I remember Paradise Pen having some. I have been wanting a VP, but I do not want a basic color. The orange is very tempting. Good luck in your search!!

I've been looking for an orange VP. found one in for 200 GBP about 400 USD. :yikes:

Filcao is still making the New Leader, an honest and very nice orange pen:

An orange pen I really like -- but it's not for sale -- is the "Cadmium Yellow" Sheaffer Prelude :
