The Orange Pen Thread

[dcpritch]

I did a search and couldn't find any current threads specifically dedicated to showing your orange pens; the ones I found were old enough I would almost certainly be castigated for necroposting. The thought to locate an orange pens thread came to me as I was taking a "family picture" of orange pens, in the course of sending one of them to a new owner.

 

So, I'm a big fan of orange pens, regardless of make, and I'd love to see yours. Here are a few of mine:

 

 

From left to right:

 

Waterman's 52 1/2V Red Ripple

Conway Stewart "The Seal Pen" RMHR

Edison Collier in Antique Marble Acrylic

Newton Pens N-E-W Pen, ebonite/urushi

Salz Bros. OS RHR flattop

Autofiller permanite ringtop

Webster OS RHR flattop

Conklin "Halloween" ringtop

Does a "Big Red" count as orange?

Lovely Sheaffer!!! I bet you have some other orange pens, too.

 

And yes, Big Red counts. I've never seen one that struck me as being "red".

While you know I have lot's of Waterman HR pens, there's my Inkograph

 

 

Of course it would be a cardinal sin to leave this one out

I have this Carter Coralite. I think it is the most beatiful I have.

Some very beautiful pens.

Four years ago, when I was 'new' orange didn't even come in question. Now it does.

I'm missing yellow too.

Don't have enough browns.

 

Sure got a lot of black and gold.

This is the closest I get to orange for now.

[DanDeM]

This arrived today. A Keene OSFT (5.4") with a full flex Warranted nib. This is the big brother of the "Baby Bill" Keene RT (4.2") posted above.

Keene was a jeweler in lower Manhattan about a century ago who had his pens made by Eclipse.

Thanks inkheart - I knew I had seen a thread not too long ago but try as I might, I just could not find it. Weird how that happens sometimes. I wonder if it might be appropriate to combine the two threads? I'll check into that, but thanks for the link.

Garageboy, I saw your thread and the awesome photos of great pens, but didn't want to resurrect it and cause a dreaded "necroposting" situation, which for some reason makes certain people go absolutely bonkers. At least we now have a thread with posts to two other excellent threads which do the same thing.

I have only two big reds and no other orange pens

I'm surprised to not see an Edison in Persimmon Orange here yet. That's just about the only orange pen that's ever seemed truly beautiful to me.
