May I See Your Blue Pens?

My favorite blue pen would be my Montegrappa Miya in Midnight Blue with an XF nib.

This thread is an old one, just to share two pictures of this nice blue Optima. I'm fond of it. Surprisingly, I have very few blue pens.

OK, Blue Pens. These are my blue Parkers.

These are blue Sheaffers on the left, Watermans on the right. On the far right is a Levenger.

These are blue pens from Wahl-Eversharp (the 4 on the left) and Conklin. The Conklin set on the right is Imperial Blue, which is very dark blue and gold, making it hard to distinguish from the more common black & gold.

:puddle: :drool: that is one awesome collection :thumbup: thanks for sharing

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Ticoun: the only Blue Balance pens I have seen are non-White Dot, and only listed on the price list of the 1929 catalog. Many are badly discoloured, others are quite costly. This is the second non-OS Balance pens I own, but am looking for a red loaner. I don't think I will ever find an OS Demonstrator with a Music nib -my "Eleanor".

This is a real stunner. Your photos creates a very untimely urge!

 

I agree. The photos are sharp, colorful, and show the beauty of that pen.

Stunning photos! What type of equipment are you using?

IF YOU FREE YOUR MIND...YOUR PEN WILL FOLLOW
